about

sometimes i don't know what a song means until long after it's been written. and sometimes, the meanings change over time. in this song, i think i'm mostly singing about a family legacy - but i like the allusion to religion and the 'slings and arrows' of english 101.

lyrics

Kites & Arrows


A hail of kites & arrows
Enough to set the seas wide open
Like our hearts inside us
Beating fast to spite us
I failed to set the record straight
I failed to set the record straight


Head just like a prison
The father, son, and holy ghost
He lifts you up beside him
I wish you were just like him
The only thing that separates
Is what you put inside him...


I was not made for this world
But I was made for you.
