Could the "ankles bound in gauze" be a reference to Oedipus?

Joanna Newsom – Kingfisher Lyrics 14 years ago
Such a beautiful song!
It is too short, the day we are born
We commence without dinning

Should be:
It is too short, the day we are born
We commence with our dying

Joanna Newsom – '81 Lyrics 14 years ago
First off, I think "in my heart and into every heart but one" should be "in my hardening to every heart but one"
To me this stunningly sweet and beautiful sad song is about starting over again, rebuilding a paradise that was lost in heat and confusion. It is about reclaiming innocence and simplicity. I love Joanna's voice in this one! Though I always enjoyed her quirky and emotional voice her singing has really matured.
