This is such a beautiful song.
I just love it from beginning to end. Especially when she says: "you can't spend your whole life waiting for God to kiss you" cause you honestly can't.
and the one verse that goes:
"After all, the children being born into
A time of searching for some glory
And the lie's still repeating through the years
Dulce et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori"
I think she's saying that they might think that dying for one's country is honorable, that's not exactly true. That they should think of something else then listing to that lie and path glory because there are other ways of reaching it. I don't know. I probably am wrong
but that verse gets me every time I hear it. It just does. Regina Spektor is amazing, that she is.
