| The Tragically Hip – As Makeshift As We Are Lyrics
| 2 years ago

This just seems to me to be about what the human collective is creating. Makeshift, imagined, and it's coming together as though we are looking 'half-squinted eye'. We're kinda making things from our imagination., like 'a mirage'. |

| The Tragically Hip – Eldorado Lyrics
| 2 years ago
|
For me, this is about an alcoholic. An eldorado is a fish - referring to the saying drinks like a fish. The cycle of 'loving, recovering' is the drinking cycle, the drunk-sober cycle. Perhaps the hard-wood, smells like the coffee verse is a rehab, where introspection occurs.
How good is Downie! So many ways to interpret his songs. |

| The Tragically Hip – Morning Moon Lyrics
| 2 years ago

My brother felt the song could be about menopause, due to something about the tone and comments on her behaviour in the lyrics. I thought more about this and the opening lines make me think he could be on to something - The reactor is down, for labour day. Perhaps the morning moon refers to the before and after of fertility, the sun being fertile, the moon being after. The morning moon would be the early stages of menopause. |
