| Iron & Wine – Walking Far from Home Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I think there are a lot of references to death, but in a very peaceful, accepting way. I think the song covers loss, moving on and change. There are also comparisons between death and hope. "And a bridge that had tumbled to the ground" "I saw sickness, blooming fruit trees" - here shows the contrast between sickness and health "I saw blood and a bit of it was mine" "I saw children in a river But their lips were still dry, lips were still dry" - talking perhaps about poverty, and how they can't drink the dirty water so they die/get ill from thirst. "Saw a bird fall like a hammer from the sky" shows death in nature/animals "Saw an old woman on the speed train She was closing her eyes, closing her eyes" again, another reference to fear or death or moving on. "Saw a prisoner take a pistol And say, "Join me in song, join me in song"" "Saw a car crash in the country" "I saw strangers stealing kisses" - last kisses before parting ways or in old age perhaps?" "I saw kindness and an angel Crying, "Take me back home, take me back home" - take me back home; to heaven or just back to earth |

| Bob Marley and the Wailers – Three Little Birds Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| LOL of course it's about drugs, Bob Marley was the King of Drugs. Marijuana anyway. It relaxes you, he probably wrote this when he was chilling with a spliff. | |
| Jack's Mannequin – Swim Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I think if it was about praying, the song would be called "Pray" instead of "Swim". Makes sense to be honest :) | |
