Casket and Sack
Yearning for Solitude: Embracing Darkness and Memories
Lyrics
I wanna go back to the farm
I desire to return to the farm.
No internet ever did me any harm
No internet has caused me harm.
I've got to get away from it all
I need to escape from everything.
The shit streets and the roaches in the walls
The unpleasant urban environment and the presence of roaches in the walls.
Fall through and through into the stream
Falling continuously into the stream.
Baptize myself before I come apart at the seams
I immerse myself to cleanse before breaking apart.
At the end of the day look at the stars
Observing stars without light pollution at the end of the day.
No light pollution so I give in to the dark
Embracing darkness due to the absence of light pollution.
I give in to the dark
Repeated expression of surrendering to darkness, emphasizing a thematic shift.
I give in to the dark
-I give in to the dark
-Down in the holler the sun didn't shine
In the valley, the sun didn't shine.
You had a pretty good reason to leave it behind
A significant reason led to leaving the valley behind.
Years go by, you're finally back
After years, returning to the valley.
U-haul brought you in a casket and sack
Arrival symbolized by a U-haul carrying a casket and sack.
Casket and sack, casket and sack
Repetition of the imagery of a casket and sack, underscoring the unusual return.
Not how I imagined coming back
The return is not as expected or imagined.
I don't worry about the farm
No concerns about the farm; the perspective has shifted.
I've got the best view in the graveyard
The graveyard provides the best view, indicating a transformed perception.
As I lay dying
Repeated phrases suggesting a reflection on mortality and the approaching end.
As I lay dying
-As I lay dying
