about

this song is about saying goodbye to a place that taught you how magical life can be

lyrics

parents they might move from
the lake house where i grew up
pine trees on the rocky shoreline
screaming as barbies drown
in the sweet old lake vermilion
iron ore seeping in
it's dark as a trampoline
i jump until i can't breathe

smog from canadian wildfires
drifts as we boat on past
the portage to boundary waters
and my friends' family cabin
where i had first got drunk
then stuck in that little bubble
i can still feel its confines
now I'm a different guy

when i go back up there now
it aches as the same old place
same water's been carving me
i seek its vitality
in moments i feel so old
so stuck in that ego bubble
home, I'm that little girl
with eyes lookin to the world

i wanna rebuild myself
be better and kinder too
see all my intentions through
for me and for all of you
all of life's offerings
i take a big bite out of
the fruit i've been laboring
roots growing from lake vermilion

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
