Sister
Exploring the Depths of Human Connection Through "Sister" by Devendra Banhart
Lyrics
Sister sister
Addressing a sister figure
Keep the fire inside
Encouraging to maintain passion or spirit
And your dogs won't die
Symbolic of protection for loved ones
And now it's all clear
Revelation of clarity or understanding
It's all clear
Reiteration of understanding or realization
You can see the child
Metaphorical sight of potential or innocence
Before it's born
Anticipation of a new beginning or life
Yeah it's all clear
Confirmation of understanding or realization
It's all clear
Reiteration of understanding or realization
You saw your little son's smile
Observation of a child's happiness before expression
Before it's shone
Before the happiness is displayed
Sister
Reiteration of addressing the sister
We'll climb
Expressing a joint effort to ascend or progress
We'll climb 'til the dogs
Symbolic climbing despite obstacles
Climb over us
Overcoming challenges together
We'll climb
Reiteration of climbing or progressing
We'll climb
Continuation of joint effort despite challenges
We'll climb 'til the dogs
Symbolic persistence despite adversity
Climb over us
Overcoming challenges together
Sister
Reiteration of addressing the sister
Why'd you come and turn all the lights
Questioning the reason for extinguishing hope or joy
All out, out
Metaphorical darkness or despair
I can't see no more
Sense of being lost or confused
Now I reach out
Reaching out for connection or understanding
Now I feel for
Empathy or emotional connection
Now I reach out
Seeking connection or support
Now I feel for
Expressing empathy or emotional connection
Now I reach out
Continued seeking of connection or support
Now I feel for
Continued empathy or emotional connection
Now I reach out
Continued seeking of connection or support
Now I feel for
Continued empathy or emotional connection
