The Plains/Bitter Dancer Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Fjoora 

Cover art for The Plains/Bitter Dancer lyrics by Fleet Foxes

I kind of get the vibe that this is a predevolped West, wherein the son either sold out the land the town is located on for the sake of oil money or some variation (which explains the father’s disappointment), but I cannot shake the vampire vibes I get from this and the visual of the father holding his son in the rising sun at daybreak.
