People can say they're accepting, but no one can actually handle it if you're schizoid around them for real. If you don't pretend to care about their spilt milk, if you don't find community in a label someone else pushes on you, if you don't smile and give out the attention they want, if you say you really can't talk right now- good luck getting them to treat you like anything but a heartless freak.

Its been two weeks since I've seen Good Boy and it still hurts. What can you do for someone you are desperately trying to protect when they're already dead? How can you tell them you love them? What can you do when the person trying to save you needs to save themself instead? How can you tell them you love them?

So tired of pretending that I'm alive and can talk to people. Stop looking at me, stop acting like I'm corporeal, just let me lay in my shallow grave and rot.

Interpretation of "Of My Brothers and the Bear" by Hop Along

Of My Brothers and the Bear is a definitely one of the most vague tracks under their belt. I've seen a couple of interpretations - Childhood fantasies? Past lives? - but it's hard to make any of them fit quite right (at least, to me).

But here's a fun fact: after listening choice Hop Along songs 100 times and have enough mental illness, you may be graced with visions and spectres tangible enough to create a tapestry out of the loose threads, even if the threads probably weren't supposed to be stitched together quite like that.

So, after such an epiphany, I believe that Of My Brothers and the Bear is about violent thoughts and the reactions one may have to them in the society we live in.

Let's take this one step at a time.

For starters, let's take our verses. Both describe violent fantasies our narrator has over those that they feel threatened by, a bear and a stranger. Not only are they bloody, but they also make the narrator feel powerful and in control.

And the town would think me brave

Throw a party in my honor

Mom would paint my face with deer blood

I'd enter like a god

But then the narrator begins to feel a connection with their victim in the scenarios through their further humanization of them.

And the man, he'd blow to heaven

Be among his loves and brethren

In the morning, he'd wake up to find

Himself reborn a bear

Now, the narrator feels guilty for their thoughts. They consider themself to be no better than dirt.

I oughta be the dirt along the ocean floor

So when it drains, I'll float to shore

Notice what they say there. That the only way they should be seen is in the very casualtous event of the ocean draining. They believe that they can only be thought of as a horrible sign of destruction and decay.

The first and second choruses end quite differently. These represent two reactions to this belief held by the narrator. The first chorus, I believe, depicts the narrator's desire to commit suicide.

Now, scathingly, I'll throw the paint along my wall

And fall and faint

Something to note is the use of the word paint. In just the previous section, the narrator says that they "ain't no artist." They are trying to get rid of their "paint," to absolve themself of this beauty. What do you think would truly splatter so scathingly against the wall?

My bones will know just what to do

By the break of dawn, I will be new

Another thing to point out is the weaponry. In the first verse, the narrator imagines shooting the bear. This is then turned onto themself in the chorus.

The same is true in the second chorus. Here, the narrator is now expressing their desire to commit an incredible act of violence to ease their heart.

Now, joyously, I will throw the paint along the mountains

Liberate the blue

And all the seagulls would adore

They won't care for the fish anymore!

A bomb would turn the blue sky grey with smoke and debris, thus "liberating" the blue. The seagulls would have plenty of easy pickings from the carnage left behind.

And now, at the final part of the song, he narrator "wakes up" from these fantasies and tries to forget about them.

I don't recall, it was just a dream

They say this over and over to cover it up, to appear normal while they call their family. But, in the end, the narrator does not hate these violent thoughts.

But if I see a bear, I hope

It might come back to me

A direct callback to the start of the song, the narrator hopes they get into a situation where they might seek these fantasies out again. Because, in the end, it does bring them comfort. They like that feeling, deep down.

And in a society that could actually accept them for these thoughts, they may be able to find a different solution.
