Two Coffins Lyrics

Two coffins for sleep.
One for you, one for me.
We'll get there eventually.

In the dark of our graves our bodies will decay.
I wish you'd never change.

How lucky I ever was to see
the way that you smiled at me.
Your little moon face shining bright at me.
One day soon there'll be nothing left of you and me.

Two coffins for sleep.

Two coffins for sleep.

All the things I have yet to lose will someday be gone too.
Back into annihilation.
All things will fade, maybe it's better off that way.
I wish you'd stay with me.

How lucky I ever was to see
the way that you smiled at me.
Your little moon face shining bright at me.
One day soon there'll be nothing left of you and me.

Two coffins for sleep.

Two coffins for sleep.

How lucky I ever was to see
the way that you smiled at me.
Your little moon face shining bright at me.
One day soon there'll be nothing left of you and me.

Two coffins for sleep.

Two coffins for sleep.

Laura actually said to her daughter, Evelyn, at a solo show that "Two Coffins" was written for her.

Laura Jane Grace may be considering the thought that her wife may leave her. And this song come from a place of "I understand." Maybe things are truly rocky between them now?

My Interpretation

I feel like this song was written for Laura's daughter, but I'm still trying grasp it's meaning.

I reckon something along the lines of some day her daughter is going to grow up and understand what's going and LJG knows that it's going to permanently taint that relationship. She doesn't want this to change, but knows it will.

"I wish you'd stay with me/never change".

For now, she doesn't understand and she reckons one day her daughter will and that'll drive them apart. Could be well wide of the mark though.
