Cover art for The Great Parade lyrics by Her Space Holiday

i kind of get the feeling that the mom killed herself by drowning in the ocean.

and now the boy, james, is wanting to get out of this place because it reminds him of bad times.

"i push my insides outside living here for far too long"

he's putting the way he feels into where he lives, blaming where he lives on the way he feels inside... get it?

i could be wrong.

and i don't know what half of the song means haha -_- but those are my thoughts
