I've been listening to Wood on continuous repeat at work for the past couple of days, and I'm wondering what "It's Too Cold" is about/means. I love the begining lyrics of the song, so after looking at the full lyrics, I was wondering what it was about? The lyrics are fairly open it seems, but parts of it almost sound like it's about domestic violence. Anyone have any ideas?

Buy the tickets, hon. You'll be following the noble tradition established by at least four other Californian Fruheads. I personally highly recommend coming for the two Iron Horse shows in October, if they're confirmed.

"You're the last of a breed and it's begining to stink So you take to the clouds with your bible and drink..." - i think that this line is talking about someone who is stubbornly clinging to archaic right wing dogma, aka the "bible and drink"image, who refuses to compromise or listen to reason and retreats even further into their prehistoric values each time they are faced with reality. "The proclaimation was made, the proclaimation was felt There's a new notch in your belt"- the proclaimation could mean many things, the person's proclaimation to his or herself to remain true to their beliefs ( which in this case, is oddly a bad thing), or their proclaimation to the world about their beliefs. in this case, the belief is not only made, but felt. this means that it has been focibly impressed upon others, and therefore the individual having the belief has become an authority figure, who has grown "fat" with power, and now has a "new notch" on their belt. "Very carefully you've protected your house Now there's no getting out"- this basicly states how a person will block all reason and means of compromise, and how someone can subbornly isolate themselves from the rest of the world in conjunction with their fundamentalist ideas. they bombard their " house", or society with stupidity, and one only needs to turn on the television and see rush limbaugh, or read in the newspaper about newt gingrich or jesse helms to realize that right wing dogma has become an inherent part of society, that sadly, "there's no getting out". "It's too cold"- their message is too uncaring, to concerned with financial success and not at all with social welfare "It's too late"- haven't we advanced enough and learned enough from history to realize that this type of thought has no place in a modern thinking society "It's too far" it's been taken to a whole new obscene and pathetic level, that the right wing allience has gone too far. "There's a lovely house on a lovely street There's a burning star but it's giving no heat To the sting that was felt on the back of your hand Now someone's lost command" of course, the conservative american dream must maintain appearences. the lovely house on a lovely street is in fact a mere facade, and the " burning star" of their truth cannot give heat, or live up to it's false promises." the sting..." may be in fact a reference to domestic abuse, which illustrates the conservative view that women should be subservient ( what was the recent term, ah yes, should "graciously submit themselves" to their husbands). it may also be refering to the sting that one feels after they slap themselves on the forehead for realizing their own stupidity, that all thier effort to control others was for naught, as they have "lost command". "Very secretly you've infected your house Now there's no getting out"- even with this realization of failure, these individuals continue to preach their ignorant ways to society, and still, people just accept it as truth, that we cannot escape it. "Lonely at nightfall Bad dreams of rag dolls When the bough breaks The earth shakes No one hears at all"- this is refering to those who are hurt by the right wingers, mainly the poor and underprivilaged. they are "lonely at nightfall", in other words, when their lives are dark and cold, no one is there to help them. they are plauged with bad dreams, or loss of hope. the allusion to a nursery rhyme invokes an image of helplessness, and that even when the "earth shakes", or their misfortunes become so intense, no one hears, cares or helps. "You're such a lucky bastard I hope I didn't scare you We did not do nothing to you Leave you alone Leave you alone"- this may be the right winger's fight with their concience. at first he or she is taking a step back and is happy with their beliefs and life, then their concience comes in for the first time ( it is the concience who hopes he didnt cause a fright to the person as he or she, for the first time, is being confronted by an internal battle of morality). in the end, the concience realizes that all its effort was in vein, that it didnt "do nothing" to change the person, that it will now give up, and "leave ( them) alone". the second leave you alone may be the person themselves telling the unfortunates of society that they too, should give up, as they will be left alone and not be aided by the right wingers. - - of course, this is just my interpertation, for all i know, this song may be about earthworms ( i dont know, the first random thought that popped into my head...). - -nora ************************************************************************** ******* " there's something exciting about the failure of modern technology to create a real looking fake human." - john linnell nora cohen (dot0926@aol.com) **************** ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V1 #25 *******************************************
