What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
She was so afraid
2
Since her mother, white with time,
3
Told her
4
She was a failure
5
She was so ashamed
6
Of everything she said
7
And everything she did
8
For her mother, white with time
9
Everything around her mother
10
White with time
11
And dirty
12
Her mother was greedy with dirt
13
Greedy
14
Then she heard choirs of angels
15
Singing choirs of angels
16
Greedy angels
17
Spitting glory on her failure
18
That stardust of failure
19
As if it was medicine that didn't work
20
Any way
21
Anyway
22
The windows
23
They were closed
24
And the midwives had locked their doors
25
They didn't understand
26
And after all, what was there to understand?
27
But the angels
28
Sheer choirs of angels
29
In a friendship
30
No, more than a friendship
31
It was a marriage
32
A marriage made in the grave
33
In the shivering night
34
The searching of the river continued
35
That bullet of searchlight
36
That searchlight
37
found her so cockleshell and sure
38
Sick and tired of what she saw
39
But cockleshell and sure
40
Sure of what the world had offered a tired soul
41
From Istanbul to Madrid
42
From Reykjavik, to Bonn
43
To Leipzig, to Leningrad
44
To Shanghai, Pnonm Penh
45
All so that it would be a stronger world
46
A strong, though loving, world
47
To die in
