Good song... Original, interesting lyrics, catchy, emotionally sung...

What do you make of the lyrics? Youtube people seem to think it's about feeling bad about those in your life who've died... I don't get that readingthese lyrics... Any thoughts?

BAND OF HORSES LYRICS

"The Funeral"

I'm coming up only to hold you under
I'm coming up only to show you wrong
And to know you is hard; we wonder
To know you all wrong; we were.

Really too late to call,
So we wait for morning to wake you
That's all we got
to know me as hardly golden
Is to know me all wrong, they were.

At every occasion I'll be ready for the funeral
Every occasion, once more, it's called the funeral
Every occasion, know I'm ready for the funeral
At every occasion, oh, one billion day funeral

I'm coming up only to show you down,
For I'm coming up only to show you wrong.

To the outside: the dead leaves, they're on the lawn
Before they died, had trees to hang their hope

And every occasion
I'll be ready for the funeral
And every occasion once more
It's called the funeral
And every occasion
Oh, I'm ready for the funeral
Every occasion
Of one billion day funeral

It's not about anything and is in fact just a clever arrangement of words into sometime resembling meaning.

Great, great song. The rest are naff, but that one is a gem.
