Ontario
Discovering Freedom in Ontario: The Posies' Melodic Journey
Lyrics
When I told you what you wanted to know
Expressing a willingness to share information.
You said, "Take me to Ontario"
The desire to go to Ontario is expressed by the listener.
When I showed you what you wanted to see
Revealing something significant or important.
You said, "The flower that you planted in me had gone dry," yeah
Commenting on the withering or loss of something cherished.
Big birds flying overhead, who gives a shit?
Dismissive attitude towards significant events, possibly indicating a sense of apathy.
Big birds flying overhead, who gives a shit?
-When I showed you what I wanted to build
Sharing personal aspirations or goals.
And all the enemies would never be killed
Recognition of persistent challenges or adversaries.
There'll be a saint living under the stairs
Describing a vision of a place where one can escape from material concerns.
So we'll be free of material cares
-Black paint on the walls in summer, it's cool, yeah, it's cool
Commenting on an unconventional choice of aesthetics (black paint in summer).
Black paint on the walls in summer, it's cool, yeah, it's cool
-I wanna go, I wanna go to Ontario
Reiteration of the desire to go to Ontario.
I wanna go, I wanna go to Ontario
-When I told you what I wanted to know
Revisiting the theme of seeking information.
You said "Take me to Ontario"
Repetition of the listener's desire to go to Ontario.
When I asked you, "Why Ontario?"
Questioning the choice of Ontario and receiving an answer related to its appeal on the radio.
You said, "It sounds good on the radio," go
-I wanna go, I wanna go to Ontario
Reaffirmation of the desire to go to Ontario.
I wanna go, I wanna go to Ontario
-Black birds flying overhead, waiting for somebody to die
Observing ominous signs with black birds, possibly hinting at a negative or foreboding atmosphere.
Black birds flying overhead, waiting for somebody to die
