Werewolf Lyrics

Cover art for Werewolf lyrics by CocoRosie

so i must say, although at first i thought the father molested her, now all i can think of is that it's her BROTHER who molested her.

Broken sundown fatherless showdown---father's not there, can't stop what's happening between son and daughter

Young hearts burst open wounds bleed fresh---two young kids A young brother skinny and tall my older walks---mention of brother, clearly meaningful

Flowers in the water, but I'm just his daughter---sarcastic "i'm just his daughter", he should protect her from the brother

Walking down an icy grave leading to my Schizophrenic father---his sickness may have prevented him from stopping the incest

Weeping willow won't you wallow louder Searching for my father's power---she wanted help, she was waiting, "searching" for his help

Wielded darkness when he was wilein on his mom's And born child and he was the bastard that broke Up the marriage evil doer doing evil from a baby carriage---the brother's birth ruined the family

And he was born with the same blue eyes---same eyes as father, perhaps as her as well

Tries to hide his tears in a world of fun But loveless bedrooms filled with doom Bring silent heartache July to June---he's still sick and has sick thoughts, cannot be happy in this loveless bedroom, needs sexual pleasure

Swoon over new young hot flame---still has sick thoughts

Mourn the memories later Laugh now alligator Laugh now alligator---he feels guilty but he's still sick and cannot help himself

Oh in a dream My love(or father?) came to me And made me swear That I'd keep what's sacred to me And if I get the choice To fill in his name I'll pray my way through the rain Singing, Oh happy day---once she realizes she's worth it and sacred she can feel better

I don't mean to close the door But for the record my heart is sore You blew through me like bullet holes Left stains on my sheets and stains on my soul---actual rape

Had to catch a ride with a man who's deranged---had to depend on the brother because the dad wasn't helping her at all, and that led to her having to stay close with the brother

He had your hands and my father's face---the brother looks similar to his father

They break me down easy on this generic love shit First kiss frog and princess---she had no generic love, only incestuous "love"

I'ma shake you off though Get up on that horse and Ride into the sunset Look back with no remorse---she will be okay, eventually, she's hopeful

Before even reading your interpretation, I commented nearly the same thing. I agree with you completely, and due to some research of Sierra and Bianca's background, I think this is easily the best interpretation of the song.
