Family Ties Unveiled: Erasure's Reflection on Deception
Be the first to rate this song

Lyrics

When I was young

Reflecting on childhood experiences

I would scream blue murder

Expressing frustration or distress intensely

Till I had my own way

Insistence on having one's own way

Run from the family

Choosing to distance oneself from family

And tell of a story to spite my elders

Telling tales to defy or annoy elders

Round and round, the boy

Describing a person, perhaps the speaker, navigating falsehoods

In the garden of lies and science fiction

Mention of a deceptive environment mixing lies and science fiction


Brother and sister and father of mine

Addressing family members, acknowledging familial bonds

Keep us together and keep us in line

Highlighting the importance of family unity and discipline

A lot we depend on a lot we can do

Emphasizing dependence and capability within the family

Send love to mother I'll be good to you

Pledging to be good and expressing love to the mother


To pollute the mind of a minor

Discussing the corruption of a young mind

The only escape from the rigors of life

Presenting escapism as the only relief from life's challenges

Pretend we're a family and believe

Advocating for a pretense of family unity and belief in truth

In the virtues of truth

Belief in the virtues of truth despite the deceptive surroundings

Round and round, caught up

Describing entanglement in deception, perhaps cyclic

In a garden of lies and deception

Reiteration of being trapped in a deceptive environment


Brother and sister and father of mine

Repeating the familial address, emphasizing unity and discipline

Keep us together and keep us in line

Stressing the importance of keeping the family together and disciplined

A lot we depend on a lot we can do

Reiterating dependence on family and capability to act

Send love to mother I'll be good to you

Reaffirming love and commitment to the mother


Round and round and round and round

Repetition of being caught in a cyclical pattern
