Cover art for Strangulation lyrics by My Morning Jacket

This is a very sad song about life that just does not work out and death seems a good option, at least that’s what I think it means. It is sung though out the song that you won’t feel a thing in calm almost calculated voice that makes it seem alright just to let go of everything in this life but by the end it sounds pretty violent. Maybe it means letting go of all the pain or finding out that “strangulation” was not as painless as the songs makes it appear to be. Either way I think it is a great song, although not easy to listen to at times.
