| Sparklehorse – Sick of Goodbyes Lyrics | 9 hours ago |
|
Isn't it obvious this song is about life? Specifically the being born and dying aspects of it. You have to say goodbye 2 times in your life, when you are born and when you die. When you are born, you have to say goodbye to the vampire planet (The womb where you take the blood from your mom). You are pulled from the withered roots and knots (umbilical cord) and pass through some hairy hole (hairy rust). _The night comes crawling in on all fours_ is a reference to that riddle (what is on 4 legs in the morning, 2 in the evening, and 3 in the afternoon? A man.). The night represents death, it's kinda mocking the baby by imitating it on all fours. And so he has to say goodbye again. All the references to the thoughts and dreams crossing and entering land is about wanting to live forever, never saying goodbye. |
