Cover art for The Great Parade lyrics by Her Space Holiday

its about a boy named james who's mother dies and he wants to run away with his best firend molly. james is saying he's been in that place far too long and its killing him, he wants to look for his mom. "

"I know just where she's hiding the answers in this book that I've been reading the same one she would read to me each night it's about a place at the bottom of the ocean she would always sigh how I wish that I could go there"

that's saying how they have to travel to the bottom of the ocean to find her, b/c that's where she always wanted to go. then he's saying "here comes your son", being james. Then in the last verse james is saying how they'll explore the world and all its beauty and they'll bask in the infinite knowledge that they'll attain.

my favorite line is the last; "it's true everyone must leave but I think it's who you hold inside your heart that keeps you warm while they've gone away ".

this is a beautifully metephorically written songs one of hsh's best.
