Wallow Lyrics

Cover art for Wallow lyrics by Luke Doucet

This song is about failed love. It's about a man (assumption made because song by a man) who has had a failed marriage (probably marriage). It's about him "wallow"ing in his memories of what was. He mentions "look at Coco's preincess dress depectiving optomistic youthful alabies." Which can be read as the man looking at a photo of his daughter and the youthful ignorance of the pain and heartache that love can lead to, and when he calls her an "alibi" it could mean that the child was used by the parents as a reason why their love failed.

" Scratch the itch pick the scab don't let it seal this is a martyr's scar" is about how the man places importance on wallowling in the pain the feeling he is a victim, a martyr.

It's a song about sadness, lost love, self pitty, and grief. It's touching a moving, and beautiful as only the truth can be.
