29 Years Lyrics

Lyric discussion by johnathonfisk 

Cover art for 29 Years lyrics by National, The

hamlet. people discussed this a bit on the slow show page, but it makes even more sense listening to this song. hamlet is 29, he is singing to Ophelia, the swan who dies in the river. and what better word can be used to describe the Hamlet's relationship with Ophelia than disillusionment?

and then these lyrics are used for Slow Show on Boxer, which is really an album that hopes to define the feeling of being unsatisfied, disillusioned and inadequate.
