Sylvia Lyrics

Cover art for Sylvia lyrics by Antlers, The

This song is literally about Sylvia Plath the poet, who tried to commit suicide many times, once, by taking sleeping pills and putting her head in an oven

Sylvia stands as a metaphor for how the main girl, who has cancer feels.

How do you know all this music trivia. I am always amazed at what some know about certain topics. I know all about nothing. Life is not fair. As for Sylvia, the oven doesn't sound like a good place to be, unless it's electric;) (NOT laughing at depression as I have suffered from it myself, but sometimes a mood needs to be lightened for the good of the people)
