Cover art for The Golden Boy That Was Swallowed By The Sea lyrics by Sound of Animals Fighting, The

"We saw the golden boy bleed love onto the sand like rain"

the golden boy being the sun bleeding love/like rain - it's rays?

"The golden boy is swallowed by the sea" sunset

The golden boy is swallowed by the sea And love is sometimes violent, and violence has no constraint And I can see inside you, Yes, I can feel what you think And with this knife of silver I will release your soul

i get an image of a fisherman gutting a fish. also: "And throw it out into the ocean... In a place just like this, in a ship on the water" continues this idea for me.
