| Martha Wainwright – These Flowers Lyrics | 3 years ago |
|
As a very late newcomer to Martha Wainwright, and looking over her catalog, there is a theme of anger running through a lot of her songs. Some is obviously directed at her father, but I suspect there is a lot directed at the general social conditions of her surroundings. The third verse: They are like those children Go off to school & don't come back And I am like their mother Waiting around about to crack seems to be to be a lament about the number of kids who don't come home from school, ever. She is definitely angry about it, and is saddened by the losses that mothers have to endure because of some shitty, asshole, oxygen thief. Recommending this to a friend of mine who does a lot on DeviantArt. |
