Coconut Lyrics

olof went to the amazon to record for 'tomorrow, in a year' (which i saw a week ago, it was very good!), not the tropics. I really don't think this is about Olof at all.

I would love to offer a suggestion, but I don't have much. I get the feeling it's about a father figure. The answer to the meaning of this song is in these lines

"we have water mouth sand in pockets and a strained household"

but, I don't know exactly what this means.

So if you don't know what those lines mean, what makes you think they are "the answer to the meaning of this song"? I think this is one of those Karen-isms or one of those metaphors only she knows the meaning to. It makes me think of how she refers to water in The Captain off of the Knife's Silent Shout.

Also, "the tropics" refers to a region surrounding the equator from the Tropic of Cancer in the North to the Tropic of Capricorn in the South. In general use it means, on or near the equator....
