Lyrics for Lullabye as interpreted by north dakota

Lullabye Lyrics
Glass of gin and a folding chair. Sitting out by the wading pool, chlorine blue. Rush of wind passing over me. Restless nights. Chin up, cheer up. My love's another kind.

So this song, as far I can tell, is about...when you've recently broke up with your girlfriend..boyfriend....whatever... the part "Rush of wind passing over me" makes me think about someone standing beside the pool mentioned before at night...this is a small lyric song, but it's so graphic at the same time.

maybe the narrator's being told to "chin up, cheer up" by friends, but then retorts with "my love's another kind," something so much more passionate and intense. it's like the sound of someone realizing how far they'd go to prove their love, to the brink of madness.

In interesting way to look at it may be the angle of a bored housewife relaxing by the poolside with the pool boy, and the tumultuous affair that would no doubt take place.

She's all emotionless and despondent in a dramatic middle-age way, and he's young and full of sprite, much different than her husband: "My love's another kind".

Very visual lyrics, regardless.

To me, the author is describing an evening where he had just recently broken up with his girlfriend. The "Chin up, cheer up. My love's another kind", to me, is saying that he wants her to be happy again and OK, and that he really cares about her.

This song has really been resonating with me, I just broke up with my girlfriend this past week and that's really what I'm feeling. It seems like a plausible interpretation, though!

To me it seems like the speaker is the one broken up with and he is obviously really despondent about it. He finds himself in a quiet reflective/meditative state, such as sitting by a pool and feeling the wind. It seems to me that in this state of meditative reflection, the wind represents a very universal, transcendental, spiritual breath that envelopes him. This is a very literary interp. that harkens to Romanticism. He realizes that even in this state of meditative reflection, and even with perhaps the advice from others to "cheer up", he is restless and maybe realizes he will never be able to be a rest about the situation, because the love he had was "another kind", the kind that you only find once, and he has lost it. This song very much relates to "Reprise"
