i really want to know what symbolism lies behind the phrase "turn me into a hare..."
the rest of the song makes some sort of sense. sort of. it all seems to be about missing a relationship, about regrets and what-ifs and longing for things to return to the way they were.
but how would being turned into a hare change anything? what is it to be turned into a hare?
maybe the answer lies in mythology. or maybe it's a reference to a magician's trick, pulling a rabbit out of a hat or transforming something into a rabbit.
and also, what is the reference to woodcat?
maybe the man wants to be a hare so that he can forever be chased by his woodcat.
