+i'll be taking requests, so let me know if you want a song done. ^_^
I found this song at the beginning of my depression, and 5 years later, it's finally over. Crazy. Felt like it'd never end.
Glad you found your way through it!
Good for you wish me luck 👍
@@ForsakenKingOfMurrica Best of all lucks, Jacob!
Congrats!!! It’s such a beautiful feeling
@@ForsakenKingOfMurrica it will come 🥰 it took me longer than five years and I thought it was hopeless...but when you least expect it, it will come.
The song is about her father leaving her because he was mentally ill. And then it talks about her being in a relationship and him abusing her sexually and physically. And she compares her father to this lover and her past lovers who have also hurt. And then she has a dream about her father be caring and supportive, even though she hasn't seem him since she was young. He tells to keep what she loves sacred. Basically telling her that this guy does not love her in a way and that she does not love him. And at the beginning when it says "Imma shake you off though get up on that horse and ride into the sunset look back with no remorse" she's talking about her father leave but when she says it at the she's talking about her doing this to her past and all the abuse and depression.
I relate so much.
so glad I'm not the only one who knows the story to this clearly some people need to do some research
A very good analysis--love how complex the song is--and yet so beautifully spoken thru poetry and raw emotion...you left stains on my sheets and stains on my soul...
Sofia Kelley-Riley perhaps it also has another meaning to it as well.
Loagun possible but that's what I got from it
"imma shake it off though, get up on that horse, then ride it to the sunset, look back with no remores" not completely understanding of this song but this part holds so much power.
If you look into their family history it makes a lot more sense. Their dad left them when they were children to live on an indian reserve.
Been legit 5 years since I jammed this and I still love it
been one year since you wrote this, u wanna jam again?
What's beautiful about this song is that it tells a story... it has meaning.. I love true music.
+terminusbound. Google research
terminusbound you should definitely listen to the lyrics a little closer and do a little research about the meaning behind them. It's one thing to not like the song(which is fine of course) but don't bash it like that especially it knowing its meaning.
Yeah, of course.
What if you do some research and find the meaning behind those "meaningless" words?
Plus, it's a song, it's up for your own interpretation, so if you're that boring to just think that the song writters were just throwing random words to rhyme, then I don't know what are you doing here in the first place.
Maybe some random pop song makes more sense to you, hmm?
Not everything has to be literal.
at first I thought this was strange but now I absolutely love it
me too
Damn, her voice is so god damn unique, and beautiful really! Is this how she sings in all of her songs, or only this one?
All of their songs ,-,
sry but she sounds like Bjork
I don't agree with the Bjork comparison, but if it were true, it'd be a compliment.
Her? You mean them? There's two girls singing, they're twins
cURSivE
"You blew through me like bullet holes,
left stains on my sheets and stains on my soul"
Best part of the song. :]
The first verse is about herself, the second verse is about the man who “blew through her like bullet holes.” The third verse is drawing a parallel between the man who “had your hands and my father’s face” and her father.
Beginning the song, the singer, a girl, is talking about being fatherless, alluding to how her “schitzophrenic father” was checked out, not there, and how she was “searching for her father’s power.” For reasons that weren’t his fault (mental illness), dad wasn’t there for her, therefore the only person to blame for her misery was herself, and when you can only blame yourself, bad things happen, low self-esteem, depression. “Weeping willow won’t you wallow louder…searching…” The blatant sex references allude to a loss of innocence. A father never taught her how men should treat her, or taught her the wrong way men should treat her. She’s having sex she doesn’t want to searching for her father’s power, her father’s influence.
The second verse talks about someone, I wasn’t sure who at first when I read the verse, I assumed she was still talking about herself, or her father, but then I realized she was talking about someone else entirely, someone who would “woon over new young hot flame.” I realized the young hot flame is her, and the man she is talking about is her lover. She’s describing his life from his time growing up, painting a depressing picture of a depressed and abused man, telling his story as if it wasn’t his fault that he abused and “wooned over new young hot flame.” Why would she paint the images of the men in her life who hurt her as victims? Again, she blames herself for her misery. When you have no one to blame but yourself, bad things happen.
Then she launches into a dream sequence, it seemed to me like her father came to her in her dream and was everything she ever wanted in a father, a supportive, caring, nurturing figure who told her to hold onto everything she held dear, and if she “had the choice to live in his name,” she’d make it “through the rain.”
In the last verse, she’s slamming her father and her lover all in one, who may be an allusion to the many lovers she’s had who have all one by one abused her and psychologically torn her, seeing as in the beginning of the song she touts promiscuity and dark experience by saying “yeah I suck dick.”
What deeper meaning I’m really sensing though is the “Werewolf” theme. I think her lovers, her father, everyone changes. “He had your hands and my father’s face.” He had your hands but he and the person who had his hands are the same person, the lover. The lover changed to someone she didn’t know who looked like someone she loved. She’s slamming men who have lured her in and then changed into violent werewolves in schizophrenic frenzies. “Another western vampire different time same place” could either mean many men all the same or that she’s seen her father in her lover. A very last line that struck me is how she’s talking about how “corny movies make her reminisce,” how this “love shit” isn’t like the movies, and her “first kiss frog princess” is a grim fairy tale turned real, which in many ways is the textbook definition of real life.
But she’s going to shake it off, get up on that horse and ride into the sunset looking back with no remorse…which never happened because the beginning of the song is sung in present tense, “yeah I suck dick” not “yeah I sucked dick.” She’ll keep telling herself that, wishing, hoping, praying for her father to come to her like he did in that dream, instead of “blowing through her like bullet holes.”
Witness the plight of those who are “just his daughter.”
*Correction: “He had your hands and my father’s face.” After listening to it more closely I do think this is actually some random person, the “man who is deranged.” She keeps falling in with people who are like her father and her x-lover and blames them for it.
Wow thanks for the really thoughtful interpretation.
Great explanation
I made this video when I was twelve, it was my 1st video.. I'm sure we've all realized there's a couple word errors. No need to comment on them 500 times, thanks for the support otherwise.
I am obssessed with this song, I cried the first time I heard it because it was so beautiful, you know when you love something so much it's incredible, you think it's impossible to love something that much and all the people around you don't care about it, well, I love this song SO much, it's so beautiful, and meaningful !!
"Evil doer doing evil on a baby carriage.
And he was born with the same blue eyes
Crystal ships dripping with ice..."
Lovely lyrics.
This beautiful song sends it's listener on an epic journey of lyrical brilliance. =)
I'm not sure what this song is about, but I am in love with it. It's like I can't stop listening to it. I think I might be addicted to it.
I cried when I realized how accurately this song portrays my life.
This song is... Almost addicting o.0
The lyrics is just so beautiful. I've never heard anything like that, the words, the melody, voice, feelings, everything. omg.
Such a beautiful song..such beautiful poetry. gives me chills.
I really like this im crying. so glad i found this
i loved this song as a little kid. i'm so glad i found it again.
(at the time i was too young to understand what the meaning of the song was, now that i do it's actually pretty sad...)
I don´t mean to close the door. But for the record, my heart is sore. You blew through me like bullet holes, left stains on my sheet and stains on my soul. You left me broke down begging for a change...
Oh my God... My best friend told me about CocoRosie a few months ago, but I kept forgetting to look it up. Now that I finally have... All my tears, CocoRosie. All of them. T ~ T
This is exactly how I feel right now... It's hard moving on without sorrow, but I'm trying. I'm gonna thank my friend for telling me about CR tomorrow for sure.
This song makes me remember things I don’t want to, but it’s so so, beautiful.
Still BANGING THIS in 22
I can really relate to this song. I wasn't raped by my father, it was a boyfriend at the time. This song really hits me hard, but it puts feelings into words. Very well written.
thegamecow you need to shut the fuck up hun
Actually no
This song helped me out of depression... It always calmed me down, it always made me think. It's beautiful.
i love you for posting this.
Who's listening in 2019? Great tune and amazing lyrics 👌🤞💜
Really touching. This is what REAL music is all about...
This makes me think of Sam Winchester....

@MadalynLittge
Thank you!! Finally someone who's done sum research!! So tired of everyone talking shit about their lyrics when they're actually very deep and amazing!!
pure talent they have. this song is one that is so true when things don't go as planned growing up and we don't get our Skeltons healed and fall victim to bad situations with others.
10 years. its been 10 years of battling depression and so i revisit this old song that i used to run to...wow. there IS an end to the battle. its finally over. :D took such a long time, but the fight was worth it. for the first time in a very long time, i can see the sun, the happiness, the peace. im happyy, finally.
I agree! I fell in love with it instantly! Their voices are amazing and so are their lyrics!
dude think song has so much emotion its some crazy shit i love it!!!!!
Haven't listened to this song in a very long time and came across it again when I was showing my child music that I liked that they might now that they are coming into their own moody music. It still made all those memories flood back.
brilliant.thanks so much.
There aren't too many songs out there that are like a peace of art.... like this ^w^
I first heard this sing because some girls at my school danced to it during a dance show and I've been addicted to it ever since.
this is so beautiful and haunting
I go to a performing arts school that has monthly performances that kids can just sign up and audition for, and there are regular checks along the way. Anyhow, I just got home about an hour ago from the last one of the year, and there was a group of three girls who danced to this song. Their dance was absolutely beautiful and I loved the song so I wrote down segments of the lyrics that I could remember. So glad I went to that show!!
Reading thru the comments about how this song is about how their father raped them. And listening to song closely its so obvious. I cried a little, this song is too emotional.
i think this is one of the best songs i have ever heard
I find these lyrics so abstract and beautiful great song :D
Beautiful
Such a heartbreaking song. Love it!
i was directed here from a lyrical dance competition of a duet where they were dancing to this song...
