Lullabye Lyrics

Cover art for Lullabye lyrics by Grizzly Bear

Personally, I think this is the most powerful song on the entire album. To me, this song is a soliloquy in which the speaker is simply trying to make himself feel better for whatever situation he has gotten himself into. I think the most important lyric to note in this song, possibly one of the greatest lyrics I've ever heard in my entire life, is "My love's another kind." I think the speaker is trying to prove to himself that his way of loving is so unique that whoever prompted him to speak it simply doesn't understand its power. I think that's also why the song is called Lullabye instead of Lullaby. His love is so powerful, so unique, so complicated that he is ultimately saying goodbye by singing it, because he realizes that this person does not understand or appreciate it, and therefore is incapable of reciprocating it. God, I love this song.

My Interpretation

Very well said. Couldn't agree more to this.
