Baraga Embankment Lyrics
It's the changing of the guards, straight from mailbox to alarms and the
kitty cats did scream oh how they howled behind the house - well the big one
laying in the frying pan talk around the town is you've been listening you
cover it up just as fast as you can cause you're trying to keep it from
growing and getting big
And they will all be heirs to their own thrones and old homes without a
downtown to grow old in or a son to telephone. And either side of paper
is erupting a snake your pulling trains to Oakland in the puring rain well
every drop will count when they tally it up and you always learned a lot
from the deep end of faith.
The kids were pushing their fingers through tarmac on pavement the
lightning was breathing in faces and either side of paper is erupting a
snake were pulling trains to Oakland in the pouring rain well every drop
will count when they tally it up and you always learned a lot from the
deep end of faith and you worry yourself sick
kitty cats did scream oh how they howled behind the house - well the big one
laying in the frying pan talk around the town is you've been listening you
cover it up just as fast as you can cause you're trying to keep it from
growing and getting big
downtown to grow old in or a son to telephone. And either side of paper
is erupting a snake your pulling trains to Oakland in the puring rain well
every drop will count when they tally it up and you always learned a lot
from the deep end of faith.
lightning was breathing in faces and either side of paper is erupting a
snake were pulling trains to Oakland in the pouring rain well every drop
will count when they tally it up and you always learned a lot from the
deep end of faith and you worry yourself sick

Baraga is a town in Michigan...
Baraga Embankment? Maybe they're talking about how the town was so protective of their town of outside influence(a veritable cultural embankment) that they isolated themselves... The kids of the town became restless, to the point of ignoring warnings from the town: "you're pulling trains to Oakland in the pouring rain well every drop will count when they tally it up and you always learned a lot from the deep end of faith." Their restlessness became to much and they threw themselves off "the deep end of faith" hoping they'd find something more outside ("pulling trains to Oakland") of their protective little town.
"talk around the town is you've been listening you cover it up just as fast as you can cause you're trying to keep it from growing and getting big" He tried to stop himself from wondering what could possibly be out there beyond this... "And they will all be heirs to their own thrones and old homes without a downtown to grow old in or a son to telephone." Without their kids, the xenophobic elders will rot in their own "thrones" lonely and sad... No one wants this for their parents so "you worry yourself sick."
In the song Heard Iron Bug, "They're Coming to Town" there's a line "and you worry yourself sick, in a town that doesn't give a shit"... They're probably expanding on this theme...
It's not that complicated once you get around all the metaphors and shit. :D
Maybe I am just tired, but I cannot for the life of me figure out the meaning of this song.
Still my favorite so far on Terrorhawk. Classic BvS
i love the piano and the voice together then it picks up and it's so nice.
no idea what this song is about, but i love the lines "kitty cats did scream. oh, how they howled behind the house - well the big one's laying in the frying pan...."
i just love it.
