What are you thoughts on the following lyrics of Simon Joyner?

Asked by Macaulay (778points) December 26th, 2009

From 2006’s “Beautiful Losers” is the song “Is This How Generous You Are?”

The last verse knocked me out of my chair:
“I asked you to watch over me, you joined the bystanders. I asked you then to catch me, you got out the binoculars. I asked for you mercy, you covered me in feathers and tar.”

What are your thoughts on Joyner’s song? If you don’t like lo-fi indie, I recommend at least reading the song’s lyrics. Surely we can all relate to a level of unrequited love and disappointment. As a master of allusions, Simon Joyner seems to write it better than we feel it.
