oh man. have you ever heard a song and had to replay it over & over until you've listened to it near 30 times? that was the case for me with this song.
"Since I don't have time nor mind
To figure out the nursery rhymes
That helped us out in making sense of our lives."
this clearly speaks of religion to me. the stories of the Bible are very much like nursery rhymes, comforting things to make us feel better, but their reality is doubted. I think this song is about leaving religion forever, letting go of our childish comforts and living life right without worrying about pleasing someone else. ha I don't know, just what I think.
and what a wonderful song, really. my favorite shins song by far.
