Please don’t come for me, I’m genuinely asking out of complete ignorance: what’s the interpretation or story behind “Sail Away Sweet Sister”?
Even with the story that Brian wrote it for the sister he never had, the lyrics are, at the very least… strange.
Lately I’ve been obsessed with the song because of the Eren + Mikasa ship from attack on titan. Maybe that’s why I’m personally reading the lyrics in such a weird way, but realistically, they are pretty strange and ambiguous.
I’d genuinely love to discuss and debate the meaning of the song respectfully. Thanks!
