| Song lyrics |
|---|
You were the mother, of three girls so sweet.
That storm through your turnstile, and climbed to the street,
But after conception, your body lay cold,
Withered through Autumn then you found yourself old.
Can you tell me why you have been so sad?
He took a lover on a far away beach,
While you arranged flowers and chose color schemes.
Can you tell me why you have been so sad?
Can you tell me why you have been so sad?
The girls were all there; they traded their vows.
The youngest one glared with furrowed brows.
They tenderly kissed and cut the cake.
The bride then tripped and broke the vase,
The one you thought would span the years,
So perfectly placed below the mirror.
Arriving late, you clean the debris,
And walked into the angry sea;
It felt just like falling in love again.
And it felt just like falling in love again.
Can you tell me why you have been so sad?
Can you tell me why you have been so...

this song has a lot of depth in that it has a lot to do with a story of unrequited love, but in this case in a third person perspective.
I think this song really has a lot to say compared to a few songs on the album and i like it a lot for that. | | 24-05-2006 01:29 lillazylollipop |

| Has any one read The Awakening by Kate Chopin? This song reminds me a bit of the book. Bare with me, I read the book about three years ago and don't feel like getting it out to find the names and specifics, but...
The main character has a daughter, but wanted a boy because boys were more free to do what they wanted, so she was upset that she had a daughter (yes, the song has three girls, the book doesn't) and never really created a bond with her (after conception, your body lay cold).
She basically has a mid-life crisis where she has some what of an affair (or wants to) with a younger man (found yourself old) and tells her husband that she wants to have her own little get-a-way house to go to do her paintings (you arranged flowers and chose color schemes).
The wedding part doesn't match up with the book, but at the end, the main character kills herself by walking into the ocean and drowning herself and at that moment she finally feels free (And walked into the angry sea;
It felt just like falling in love again).
I know it doesn't all match up, I was just reading the lyrics because I'm not quite sure of the meaning and I got excited when I saw all the similarities to The Awakening.
