What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I can remember being 7 years old and having gold fish that circled around in a bowl
2
and I would watch the forest burn and listen to the wind blow
3
I can remember the table, the drapes and the window
4
the dark brown everything, decorations, styling
5
most of all I can remember my mother smiling
6
worn out and faded, my home town was scrappy
7
more than anything she wanted us to be happy
8
little to eat, back and forth to the hospital
9
she was right, it's better to be happy if possible
10
but the old man was under attack and was weak
11
and continued to beat us several times a week
12
he lived like a king even though we were piss poor
13
I tried to be strong and careful what I wished for
14
my outsides ache and my insides stung
15
from the long leather belt that replaced his tongue
16
not knowing how to run or how to hit the brakes
17
a white picket fence was built around a pit of snakes
18
both a wonder and frightening, the thunder and lightening
19
these were the sounds and sights of a thousand fights
20
my mother, the poor fish, staging eternal
21
cherades and parades for the raging inferno
22
wanting to be happy, beaten all the while
23
asking me always 'Why don't you ever smile?'
24
and she'd show me how to do it, mother and wife
25
it was the saddest smile I ever saw in my life
26
and it hurt worse than death but for her sake I tried
27
and one day all of those gold fish died
28
hurricane, forest fire, out of control
29
eyes open, floating on the water in the bowl
30
and when my father came home, he walked through the door
31
and threw those fish to the cat on the kitchen floor
32
and the wind died too
33
and I was still a child
34
and the three of us watched
35
as my mother smiled
36
and the wind died too
37
and I was still a child
38
and the three of us watched
39
as my mother smiled
40
and the wind died too
41
and I was still a child
42
and the three of us watched
43
as my mother smiled
44
and the wind died too...
