It would be great if someone who is more connected to the subject matter would give some insight on these lyrics but as a white guy living in the US who only has basic(and removed) knowledge of the conflict in Pureto Rico, I'm going to give it a shot... "There's a little house on the outskirts of town Tilted in a vow of dissonance" this represents the perpetual state of uncertainty in Puerto Rico as a US territory with little to no US funding or support. "Plumes of smoke call it graveyard love" This is alluding to the concept of destroying something if you cant have it, or have it your way "I keep clear of the windows" I can only assume has to do with bullets(crossfire) "I can't return to you" not being able to see someone you miss in Puerto Rico?? "Could never fathom how to wake you up Crushed by the weight of your crucible" how hard it is to simply live in such a conflicted situation. This is my best shot, I may be completely off base but considering the known context, I can only assume these interpretations are at least close.. |
