"Sylvia" from the album Hospice by The Antlers
Lyrics: Please, curtains in, start us off
You swing first, sorry
I don't know what I said
But you're crying now again
And that only makes it worse
Let me do my job
Let me do my job
Sylvia, get your head out of the oven
Go back to screaming and cursing
Remind me again how everyone betrayed you
Sylvia, get your head out of the covers
Let me take your temperature
You can throw the thermometer right back at me
If that's what you want to do, okay?
Please, please calm down
Steady out, I'm terrified
Sorry, I want us to ally
But you swing on little knives
They're only sharp on one side
Let me do my job
Let me do my job
Sylvia, get your head out of the oven
Go back to screaming and cursing
Remind me again how everyone betrayed you
Sylvia, get your head out of the covers
Let me take your temperature
You can throw the thermometer right back at me
If that's what you want to do, okay?
Sylvia, can't you see what you are doing?
Can't you see I'm scared to speak
And I hate my voice because it only makes you angry
Sylvia, I only talk when you are sleeping
That's when I tell you everything
And I imagine that somehow you're going to hear me

Have you ever love someone so much that it hurts? That You know that person is gonna leave you and hurt itself, and you don't know if safe her or safe yourself.

This album hits harder when you realize you are the "hospice". Not in an abusive/manipulative way (at least, that's what I think) but the habit of hating yourself too much that it hurts those who actually care about you.

Him and I have that in common. I have worked at 2 hospice.

Couldn't listen to The Antlers for a while after I found out my mother had cancer. I'd always associated this album with her, even if it's meant to be about a romantic relationship, because I've always wanted to shelter and save her, my whole life, despite her abuse and neglect. So I took solace in this album, but when I found out she actually had cancer and could die, it became... sort of sour. I have nothing but apathy for her now, though. And I can enjoy my favorite band again

I'm a hospice nurse and sometimes I'm asked to call children of people who have gone no contact with their parents. I don't really ask any follow up questions if they don't want to see/talk to their parent before they pass. But one time a woman asked me to tell her father something similar. She wanted me to let him know that all she ever wanted was to love him, but she simply couldn't because of the hell he put her through as a child. Idk why, but it really hit me hard.

Underrated voice. Underrated band. Underrated song. Underrated Sylvia. It just hits differently when you know the story behind it.

What’s the story

@Anne-wf1vo 3 года назад

@@Cravennats So the lead singer was in an emotionally abusive relationship. This album tells a story much like that, but as a metaphor it's happening in a hospice (If English isn't your first language; it's a place terminally ill patients go to pass away peacefully and get medications etc. to stop their physical pain.) "Sylvia" as they refer to her is a hospice patient with bone cancer who falls in love (and/or is engaged to according to some interpretations) to a nurse who works there, the male singer/narrator. She's very emotionally abusive and yells and curses a lot at him, but he doesn't feel like he has the right to feel hurt by it, or stand up against her, because she has it worse. This is exactly what it feels like to be in a real abusive relationship; you don't feel like you have the right to be hurt by someone who is in more pain than you are, or tells you they are. Later in the album "Sylvia" passes away and he realizes a bunch of shit. I can't explain all of it but if you pay attention to the lyrics of the last three or two songs, you'll get it.

@Cravennats 3 года назад

@@Anne-wf1vo Thank you got explaining, sounds like some heavy stuff. I’ll check out the rest of the album for sure

@calebfoxschool Год назад

For anyone who hasn't listened to the album yet, I highly recommend just getting relaxed and reading the lyrics as you listen to each song. It's so powerful

@elusory3735 3 года назад

This song hits me so hard in the feels, because it reminds me of my mother. She passed away due to cancer 2.5 years ago now. A year before here death she had a period where in she felt like she wad holding my dad and me and my brother and sisters down with her illness. I remember going upstairs after a little panic and hearing my mother talking about ending her life because of this weight she thought she put on us. When i heard this i told her that she was not holding us down, ofcourse. Still then and now i feel the intensity and weirdness of the situation, because ofcouse your childeren wouldnt tell their mom that she was standing in their way. She went and got mental help after that and she actually enjoyed what she could for the last of her life. This song really captures this memory for me, and im thankfull for my mother for reaching out and getting help.
