| The Mountain Goats – You Were Cool Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
I believe this song is about himself. I think he is looking back to when he was in high school and viewing himself as the adult version looking back on his teenage years. Maybe he wore spiked heels and got made fun of it by other students and now he is saying to he’s past self “I always thought you were cool”. He says “I hope you love your life now, like I love mine” meaning that things have gotten better after this bad experience, one day things are better than he could of imagined. Instead of saying I hope you never think about those bad times aging he say “I hope the painful memories only flex their power over you A little of the time” meaning he remembers those hurtful things brought about by the other students and it’s still hard for him to forget what happened to him, and that’s why he says “I hope the people who did you wrong Have trouble sleeping at night” because him, himself has had trouble sleeping at night because of these painful memories and wishes the same symptoms of his pain to the people that did him wrong. He also says “We held on to hope of better days coming And when we did we were right”. Meaning that he always believed that if he could get through this bad time in his life, good things and better days would come, and he was right. I really love the way this guy wrights his song. I just saw the mountain goats May 10th 2019 at the One Cannery Row in Nashville and they did not disappoint. Great band, great songs, good times. Also I’m pretty baked so I could just be over analyzing this, but it’s really fun to do. That’s your homework for tonight; get high, listen to a song, and really dig out the deeper meaning, even if it’s not right. |
