Lullabye Lyrics

Cover art for Lullabye lyrics by Grizzly Bear

To me, the author is describing an evening where he had just recently broken up with his girlfriend. The "Chin up, cheer up. My love's another kind", to me, is saying that he wants her to be happy again and OK, and that he really cares about her.

This song has really been resonating with me, I just broke up with my girlfriend this past week and that's really what I'm feeling. It seems like a plausible interpretation, though!
