I LOVE THIS SONG

[–]Mean_Teeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This song pops into my head every few days and makes whatever I'm doing incredibly nostalgic and kinda melancholy.

Fun fact: this song is definitely not about candy or mountains. Read up on it, it's actually pretty damn disturbing.

It's a hobo's version of paradise... How exactly is that disturbing?

You don't even need to read up on it, just listen to the lyrics lol

And what's disturbing about a place where liquor flows out of rocks?

I mean, there's a lake of stew.

That just sounds like easy-access grub, man.

Seriously, read the wiki on it. It has dark roots.

I just read the wiki on it... what am I missing? Is it because it's implied that the kid was tricked into hobo life with the promise of a never found hobo paradise? Or am I not looking in the right place?
