Beautiful song. As the father of two teenage girls, that first verse is definitely "parent to child," as we all have to go through our own "dark tunnel blindfolded" despite what good advice a parent can give.
The rest of the song is "child to parent," as children continue to seek parental guidance throughout life, no matter how useful it is. I just hope my kids "cover my tracks" and turn my "dust into diamonds" after I'm gone!
"Optica" was my favorite album last year (edging out National & Vampire Weekend). It's a shame the Shout Out Louds didn't get the big American audience they deserved with that album. Next time, guys!
