| Sinead O'Connor – I Am Stretched on Your Grave Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I think she is singing about her childhood - the young girl, inside, who is dead. To Sinead this girl has "buried", but is still alive and waiting for the older girl/the woman to return. Sinead is attached and in love with herself as a girl and returns there even as others shun here (the priests, etc.) As the dead girl rests, the older woman will be her shelter - keeping the girl alive in her heart and mind. For the woman the girl is HER pillar of light and brightness. The woman is tired and surrendering, she is choosing to perhaps "return" to the girl soon (death - suicide, madness or old age - but she is happy the end approaches). Any comments around this notion ??? |
