Cover art for Hay Loft lyrics by Mother Mother

My interpretation is a song about a father and his two kids.

One of his children is a teenager who sleeps with someone in the hayloft and the other is the child that says “My daddy’s got a gun”. The child either threatens or warns their sibling and (the siblings) lover by saying that line. We can say that the teen and their lover are having sex with the lines, “Young lovers and they are not sleeping" and "Young lovers with their legs tied up in knots".

The dad most likely shot the lover dead with a shotgun.

(That’s all I really have to say!!)
