Grandma Song Lyrics
And I walk out of the hospital cursing cars - because
All this turnover makes me so tired
And how are you feeling like the grime in these hospital walls
Can't quite wash out your tiredly lives.
Says never be afraid - of anything outside.
Grandma tucks you in at night.
Says goodnight little sweet.
These pictures of the past
Litter the floor like news print.
Like cities fell in stacks.
And men jumped from buildings
The dust was overwhealming
Do we except; anything to last?
Says never be afraid - of anything outside.
Grandma tucks you in at night.
Says goodnight little sweet.
I'll sing you to sleep.
Watch everything recede.
La la la la
Watch everything recede.
I'll sing you to sleep.
La la la la
I'll sing you to sleep.
Watch everything recede.
La la la la
Watch everything recede.
La la la la
Im gonna go call my grandma. Gosh, i miss her
'all the white' in these hospital walls rather than "all the grime" ..?
maybe?
perfection, defiance ohio blows my mind
The correct lyrics are:
"And how are you feeling? All the white in these hospital walls can't quite wash out your tired weak eyes."
I think this song is about the naïvety of childhood, and the naïve-like prudishness that elderly people tend to posess. When you're a child, you are shielded from the evils of the world by the adults in your life...
"Grandma tucks you in at night, Says, "Never be afraid of anything outside"
...But more often then not, this just leads to ignrance as the kid becomes an adult...
"Godnight, little sweet, Watch everything recede."
great song. beautiful vocals. great message. one of the best from defiance
I think this song is about losing someone's Grandma.
"And I walk out of the hospital cursing cars because all this turnover makes me so tired"
In this line they describes when they leave the hospital after they've lost their Grandmother; they just feel so tired and like nothing is really happening, combined with the feeling of frustration at the world (the people in their cars).
"Grandma tucks you in at night; says never be afraid of anything outside. Grandma tucks you in at night, says goodnight little sweet." These lines are just remembering the little things that his/her Grandmother used to do when they were young.
"These pictures of the past litter the floor like news print, like cities fell in stacks." This just describes the time when you're looking at all the pictures of the person after they've gone.
"And men jumped from buildings, the dust was overwhelming, do we except anything to last?" Here they just question whether anything great can stay.
"Goodnight little sweet, watch everything recede... La la la la" I love these last lines so much. It seems to me like this is something their Grandmother used to say to them to help them fall asleep, and after she's gone they help themselves fall asleep by just saying that over in their head one last time.
HEY! guess what i finally figured out this song... it's about the great depression Like cities fell in stacks.--economy falling And men jumped from buildings--suicide rate was high during the great depression The dust was overwhealming--The Dust bowl in the south that killed crops and peoples farms! at the time of the great depression Do we except; anything to last? im guessing his grandmother lived during the great depression. readddd your history :-) like me
the dust was overwhealming- i think that gave it away. ----
No one else gets 9/11 vibes from this song? Cities falling in stacks, men jumping from buildings, dust overwhelming... I can see the Great Depression connection, too, but that one verse really resonates with the horrific imagery of 9/11 we all saw in the papers and on TV. No political message here, just human grieving.
Nope, my first thought was 9/11 too.
