Tristesse 1,765 Posted December 26, 2016 Can somebody explain this song to me ? My english is enough to literaly understand but way too poor to get what she means, it feels like it's all nonsense.... Life is hard 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reputation 6,321 Posted December 26, 2016 OK wait if she's talking about a guy & she's there for the birth of his baby does that shes giving birth or she's the other woman? That lyric confuses me 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
delreyfreak 5,342 Posted December 26, 2016 "One life begins one comes undone I've always been a strong woman of faith Strong like a tree but the unlucky one" Absolute queen of lyrical complexity these are honestly the best lyrics I've ever seen omg 12 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apricockjuice 332 Posted December 26, 2016 OK wait if she's talking about a guy & she's there for the birth of his baby does that shes giving birth or she's the other woman? That lyric confuses me I took that more to mean that she's celebrating with a close friend either at a baby shower or after said friend gave birth and the dude left her that same day. Like.. the song does focus on a dude quite a bit but it seems to be more of a general reflection on her life than anything else. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was also thinking its about bittersweet life of being w/ a man. She expresses how for every good thing there's a bad thing, how she's going down with fine China, for its so fragile but affluent, having good clothing but stealing them, how for every birth there's a death etc. As you stated, it does seem like a song about the trelfection of life. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

reputation 6,321 Posted December 26, 2016 "When I hear something like this, though, I tend to file it away, and keep my ears open. Sure enough, in early November of this year, I was doing a workshop as part of a new public folklore program being developed on the Baccalieu Trail. Much to my delight, Linda Kane of Cupids had heard of the old belief as well. She, too, had heard that a pregnant woman seeing a white horse would mean trouble in childbirth. “White horses are often thought to be harbingers of ill fortune,” writes David Pickering in the Cassell Dictionary of Superstitions. In fact, white horses seem to crop up a lot in folklore. In Lincolnshire, England, it was believed that if you saw a white dog, you should stay silent until you saw a white horse. In other places, dreaming of a white horse meant a coming death, and in the New Testament, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse rides astride a white horse." 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
justicedelrey 15 Posted December 26, 2016 If you listen to fine China then listen to is this happiness, they both sound the same and it seems like it's sharing the same story 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
