Cover art for Roses lyrics by Meg And Dia Band, The

Apples parachute the boys back down.

i read on their website message board that dia wrote this bridge, and that its a ganja [marijuana] reference. kinda makes sense..?

I'm going to take a guess on this one and say that I agree with you that it probably is a ganja refrence "Apples parachute the boys back down" I think to some extent means: Ganja brings the boys(troops) back to reality....this is what the boys would do when they were in Vietnam in the 60's....
