Cover art for Gabriel lyrics by Emmy the Great

i think this song is about rejection of a religion. i don't really have any justification for it, but it's all i ever think when i listen to it. the idea of growing up and discovering that, in fact, what you've been taught all your childhood isn't what you really believe, nor want to believe.

anyway, regardless of it's meaning, i love this song!
