Cover art for Does It Remind You of When? lyrics by Fiery Furnaces, The

having three close relatives burried during the last half year, i think i can tell what this song is about.

on one hand it tells about the lack of fairness in death and how you can not believe that these people never come back.

A rose on his lapel, in the open coffin I'd give him a kiss. in the moment you throw the rose on the lapel, you not only miss the time when the person was alive, you even miss the time you could see the dead body. you just miss everything.

on the other hand it tells about the feeling that you start hating everybody and everything, thinking everyone who is not the close you are is a pathetic faker. you transfer your sadness into hate and project it on them.

the guy who plays the piano acts the way you think everyone arround you acts.

you think about the noise and the traffic and start to hate it too. you hate all the people in the world. they are alive and you hate them for beeing alive.

and you tell yourself that they are the reason you can't deal with the pain and everything is their fault.

i bet these are the same emotions that are in this music.
