| Iron & Wine – Stolen Houses (Die) Lyrics | 15 years ago |

Amazing tune. Wish it were 3 minutes longer! Anyways... I think this song is a contrast between generations, especially in the South, where Sam grew up. "our father's fathers slept in stolen houses" i think refers to the expansion of the United States, one could argue that much of this countries territory was stolen from someone or another... "And yes our mother's mothers saw in black and white" i believe refers to an earlier generation of socially acceptable racism. the "babies never cry" and "children never lie" lines i believe to be a bit of sarcasm, as i'm not so sure being "not afraid to die" is a good thing. i think maybe he's speaking about a younger generation that feels it can do no wrong and has lost it's fear of death and God. At any rate it is a beauty. You can get it now on the Red Hot compilation Dark Was The Night. peace. |

dig the analysis. (almost a year too late) agree and disagree with some parts, but applaud the thoroughness. =D i always took the "the cradle's unimaginative sense of time" line coupled with Lucy's "broken wrist" as an indication that Lucy is underage, somewhere between 16-18 maybe. Perhaps people have told the singer he is "robbing the cradle", and the rambunctiousness of youth often leads to broken limbs... just my take on that line. |
