"All the poppies gonna push up soon..."
To me, this song is about the realization that you're ever so slowly coming into your own...the insecurities are fading, you're feeling stronger, and you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. It's not some huge, earth-shattering change...it's a slow, gradual, invigorating time of growth. "The laughter that was dead is coming..." You've realized that there is joy for you in the world, that you're not fated to live in the dark. And it's coming to you...you can feel it...you can taste it. Finally you can believe it.
Breathtaking songwriting from Heather Nova.
