for me, this song is about an abuse victim trying to find comfort now that they're finally out of their situation. like, they know theyre not there anymore, but it's still hard to adapt. they've had to fight to survive their entire life, and now that surviving is a peaceful thing and they're surrounded by loving people, they can't comprehend it as easily. i think the "little pistol" represents the subconcious defences and barriers they keep, even though they have nothing to defend themselves from anymore. i believe they gradually accept that they're safe now, but it's a journey. i think the "i want what's best for me" is about still being defensive and cautious. they're unable to let go of the scared and angry thoughts even though there's nothing to direct them at anymore.
@@bettercupisdumb9276 Just out of curiosity, random stranger, which series did you think was the best? I think "Dawn of the Clans," and "Power of Three" were of the highest quality. I know that "Omen of the Stars" follows the same storyline that "Power of Three" did, but I felt like it didn't really conclude well, and that it dismantled a lot of stuff with how the world building was set up- not in a good way. Also Dovewing. I'm sorry, I just don't care for her too much, she's bland. Also, take a swing at who my favorite character is.
@@supremeoverlord0 I think i share the same opinion as you, I haven't read them in a while so i don't remember some things but I do remember really liking Hollyleaf and her siblings. My favorite characters over all (from what i remember) were Yellowfang, Bluestar, & Hollyleaf. I'll have to re-read them later and I'll probably update you if my mind changes later. But honestly from the last time I read the books I don't think I liked the plot line of Ivypool and Dovewing, idk it just wasn't that great to me.
@@bettercupisdumb9276 Oh, I loved Yellowfang! I'm mixed about Bluestar, and Hollyleaf was okay as an individual, but I love the dynamic she created with her philosophies as she clashed with her siblings and clan. My favorites overall would have to be Grey Wing and Jayfeather. I used to like Leafpool a lot, but she kind of fell apart for me in the latter parts of the second series. OK, but I *really* like Grey Wing. "Dawn of the Clans" as a whole was just really good and emotional. I know it's silly, but I cried a little at the end of the series.
@@Wulfydragon hey i did not mean to comment that. My phone was in my back pocket while i was checking on a dog thats been hanging around my house. Sorry about that 😥
2:55-3:38 gets stuck in my mind a lot. the rest of the song never spoke to me but this part i don’t know why, just re-ignites old memories with it’s imagery.
Look. I'm bi. I'm also asexual. And a demigirl (she/they pronouns). I'm also religous but simultaneously have MANY issues with religion. And this song managed to attack everything about me and I can't be mad
I dont know why but I listened to this for the first time today and in the first few seconds I started crying? Its just so fucking gorgeous to me for some reason.
I'm gonna preface this comment with what the other two said- music is made to be interpreted! That said, here's *my* interpretation for the song, it doesn't reflect upon yours whatsoever. Generally, I consider this song to be about fear and paranoia. The singer seems to be implied to have suffered from trauma of some sort. They feel helpless, and that throughout it all, the people around them did nothing to help them when they needed it ("The women, all they do is cry"). Maybe contributing to their trauma in some way, or perhaps not, the singer even tried to find solace in Christianity, but it didn't help them at all with their struggles ("I found Jesus, what a liar"). That's why there is "brimstone" in their garden, and the 'roses' are on fire. A garden typically reflects ones inner self, and flower language is used often for imagery purposes. The roses on fire could mean they can't see love as a possibility in their life anymore. Brimstone is the archaic word for sulfur, meaning "burning stone." The word is often used in another phrase with religious/Christian connotations, 'fire and brimstone,' having to do with God and his fury, judgement, and eternal damnation in hell. The religious connotation ties in with finding Jesus to be a liar, perhaps referring to his promise of redemption. This implies that the singer sees no forgiveness, relief, or redemption, likely mainly for themselves, and perhaps their worldview. The only think they are capable of receiving and giving judgement and pain. As a result, to avoid being hurt further, the singer is trying to distance themselves from anyone else in their life. With their garden burning, they hope it will be enough to keep others away from them, and with their "little pistol," they display a desperate attempt of scaring people away from them- like a quivering, scared animal. The ending could be interpreted one of two ways, from my perspective. And I, well I found what's best for me And now I see no tragedy And I, I found a burning rose And now I won't be packing little pistols No, no, no more On one hand, the "I found what's best for me" and "and now I see no tragedy," could be interpreted as the singer catering to their destructive behaviors, thinking that their violent solitude will truly keep them safe from the hurt life has to offer, and so now they don't have to pack "little pistols," because they've fully distanced themselves from the source of any pain in their life. Perhaps they've given in to their pain completely, and are emotionally vacant, and the "what's best for me," is the prospect of their life ending. Sad stuff. In the other interpretation, in a more sudden semi-optimistic viewpoint, perhaps, through all of this suffering, the singer was able to find a kindred soul, symbolized in the form of a "burning rose," who has also gone through hurt, just like the burning roses in the singer's own garden (which symbolizes themselves, as I mentioned earlier). Perhaps this meeting has given the singer enough solace to feel as if they don't need to wildly distance themselves as they did before with their "little pistols," because they finally have the understanding that they lacked. This could be the first step forward for them.
TikTok introduced me to the band as a whole (the guitar riff from Hayloft randomly started showing up in every video i watched) but TH-cam was the one that introduced me to this song in particular
Most underrated Mother Mother song
FACTS OMGGGG
i don't agree, i think hayloft is better tho- (guys this comment was directed to someone else but i think they have deleted their comment)
@@rollingthunder6120 honestly I feel like hayloft is good but overrated
@@honeymoon8148 i agree! there are a lot of songs of mother mother that are just as good but arent as known

I physically cant escape Mother Mother. Every playlist on youtube has a new Mother Mother song for me.

it’s the religious trauma for me!

Thats exactly what I thought of when I heard this song ;-; I hate religious trauma
what’s religious trauma? i’m honestly asking
@@strawberryeggs820 trauma from a religion (ex: hating Christians because of having bad experience with them)
@@strawberryeggs820 It's just any sort of trauma caused by religion, it could be the practices what it teaches, the people, etc.
