Cover art for Fancy Claps lyrics by Wolf Parade

I'll try to be pragmatic.

Love song. But not a good kind of love... The home versus hair versus old age dynamic means that the love is old. They'll be together in the end, but not before then. I mean, sure, discover the love. Yearn for it. But old age is when they can finally get over themselves and have a "we."

THEN, as in when that happens, there might be some deficiencies ("cracks") in the love. But they'll still sing to each other. Like those birds that sing each other love songs? Yeah.

But that will have to wait, because this is a hard romance and a bitter love.

BUT, it's assuring the girl that there will be a good love to come. They'll be sacrificing and loving and shit in the end. So he's telling her to calm down and wait, wait for the good love. Even if it's a tragic love because it's close to death, it's a good one.

Yeah, tragedy. You can hear it in his voice. And the intro is amazing, js.
