Lyric discussion by TheNamingOfThings 

Cover art for Mama and the Future lyrics by Timothy Seth Avett As Darling

First of all this song voices the fears that everyone has that they just won't make it where they want to in life. We all hope that we won't be a disappointment.

Second of all, Seth certainly spoke too soon. "Hoping no one else remembers that I failed - made nothing of myself." His music means so much to me and to so many other people that this line has become an outright lie. And thank heaven for that.

This song is perfect.
