| Joanna Newsom – Monkey & Bear Lyrics | 9 years ago |

@[hudsucker:3112] The song says her legs fell off and she shed her shoulders and allowed the burden of her belly to drop like dropping boulders and all that's left is her empty coat of fur. Her body literally comes apart as she transcends physical reality. The only way for her to be not oppressed is to leave this earthly existence. This is a great article on the song: http://allthebirds.tumblr.com/post/14974282311/sooner-or-later-youll-bury-your-teeth-the and it references the myth of Callisto the bear, who transcends earth to become Ursa Major. |
