| Cursive – The Lament of Pretty Baby Lyrics | 23 years ago |
|
Hmmm... after reading the lyrics again it seems there is a suicide idea underneath it all. This may be a bit farfetched but "(The kitchen door was open a crack, So naively we peeked inside) Oh, darling sister, have they hurt you, have they hurt you? Oh, Pretty Baby, they won't touch you. They won't touch you again. We will fix this incident" gave me the impression that these kids say their sister attempting suicide, and now they're trying to "fix her" because she is "broken" and the mother is in denial of the whole thing, hence "Oh, mama, please let someone fix me!" I'm probably wrong but that's what I got. |
