| Mother Mother – Little Hands Lyrics | 1 year ago |
| There're so many possible interpretations to this song, but even though it's written about an infant, i feel like it also could be about parents who lost their teen to suicide. To some parents their kids remain as kids even as they grow up, and in this interpretation the relationship between the parents and their teen might've not been great, so these parents would probably have liked to see them as a child - back in time when their relationship was much better? And so now that the teen's gone, the parents bear the loss very heavily ("driving me insane") and really concentrate on their teen being a child that was relatively happy, at least in the past; the lulaby-like sounds at the end of the song might suggest that the parents find it really hard to accept the harsh reality and grieve, and are still in the stage of denial, so they suddenly have a strong desire of possibly rocking their teen to sleep just like they used to when the teen was a toddler. "Driving me insane" could also convey the underlying feelings of guilt and maybe the knowledge of some things that definitely went wrong in their parenting? Sorry, that's a lot of text and this interpretation is probably irrelevant, but i quite like it and that's one of the meanings of this great song to me. | |
