Without Mythologies lyrics
Song information
Artist: The Weakerthans
Album: Left & Leaving
Lyrics
A soft breeze with the slippery concrete black and full of muddy slush
Contrasting with the hoarfrost
Clean and hung on a tunnel of silent shivering trees
(The ones you said you'd like to be)
And the birds that screamed at the sun
Now buried deep down below the ground
Beneath the snow, I press my shoulder to this wall between us
I know you are behind me and I press my shoulder to this wall
Determined not to turn around
I do and see you standing
Still that statue that I molded in my mind to kiss
So beautiful you'll never move again
Someplace far away, at some sad table littered with chipped plates
With bad light
In 48 frames from a movie on the cutting room floor
You said "true meaning would be dying with you"
And though I wanted to, I did not smile
But now I will give up on this wall that I have fought with
Never uncover meaning behind our rich words
If I could I would make you a raging river
With angry rapids, supplied with rain
So you could always meander
And forever be able to run away
Without contending with myths wrongly interpreted, with pain
A harsh wind
