Cover art for One Rose lyrics by Why?

The sky for shoeing horses under part im pretty sure is refering to suicide. According to the song from Alopecia, "sky for shoeing horses under," it ends as, "looks like a good sky to die under.

Does anybody actually understand the shoeing horses thing? I understand that it's referring to that song when he mentions it in this, but what does it mean?

What kind of sky makes one say "oh, this is a sky for shoeing horses under?" Is that some other old expression I didn't know about, like "mouthing watermelon"?

I assume "mouthing watermelon" is the phrase film makers used to make background characters say so it looked like they were talking.

If you apply that to the song's context... it makes sense..

I think the "shoeing horses under" refers to suicide, in a vague way. Kind of like pushing your problems away. If you think about it, I'm sure herding horses is difficult, as is suicide, and a very burdensome task. But it's pushing problems aside? Just analyzing since nobody else is.
