Okkervil River - White [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

We crashed through crazed glass
In the white-hot burst of the firey blast
We flared through choked air
In the deafening blare, in the scattering ash
We said, "Summer's here and I'm gonna crack, crack, crack

We sort through shocked quartz like a jewelry store
While your sister and dad consort with kept courtesans
While the whole world sits in ruins
We laugh, "Summer's here and I'm gonna crack!
Summer's here and I near a heart attack
Or flash of real feeling, teeth gnashing
And blasting and reeling through black

Because kids: When I first saw your mom
I was right and she was wrong
About just the type of man she was bringing back
And when I first met her dad
I felt good and he felt bad
But, kids, you'll find that over time, you're just trapped
And spring is gone and you're gonna gasp, gasp, gasp

And friends: When I first saw the groom
Rise from the darkness of the tomb
I was unnerved (though, overall, I was wowed)
And when I first saw the bride
The look inside her eyes just cried
"If someone has cause to stop, say it now!"
But fall is here and the leaves all go down
And then winter's here
And it's too cold to drown
And I'm nearly whited-out, snowblind
Like it's no business of mine if life doesn't want me around
