Ahhh Good Country
Avey Tare and Panda Bear Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It should be a leader
Who kept them all in green and red
Should not be allowed to be free
'Cause this land of mine beats still
The place would rise above us
To tear your roots up out the earth
Ah, good country
Seeds above us
Kiss this child and he'll surely wake up
I don't care if
I don't wake up
You'll kiss me and I'll surely wake up
Ah, good country
Trees above us
Mountain lions gonna surely wake up
Child won't fret if
He does wake up
You'll see me and we'll surely make up
Ah, good country
Seeds below us
Kiss this child and he'll surely wake up
Don't you fret if
I will wake up
They'll see you then they'll surely make up
The lyrics to Avey Tare and Panda Bear's song Ahhh Good Country suggest a disagreement between the singer and their brother with regards to leadership and freedom. The singer believes that their brother, who was responsible for keeping the land "green and red" should not be allowed to be free, indicating a lack of trust in their abilities to lead or make decisions. The next part of the lyrics suggest an admiration for the land, as it beats "still" and rises above the singer's perception of their brother's abilities. The following line about tearing roots out of the ground may suggest a disdain for man-made fruits, and perhaps an appreciation for natural, organic growth.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Ah, good country" multiple times, each instance accompanied by a different image - seeds above us, trees above us, seeds below us. The imagery continues with the line "kiss this child and he'll surely wake up", indicating a reverence for nature and the land. The second part of the chorus mentions a mountain lion, creating an image of the wildness and unpredictability of nature. The final line of the chorus, "You'll see me and we'll surely make up", suggests a resolution or reconciliation. This may tie back to the singer's earlier distrust of their brother, indicating a hope for resolution in their relationship.
Overall, the lyrics to Ahhh Good Country seem to center around themes of nature, leadership, and relationships. The singer's admiration for nature and the land is contrasted with their distrust of their brother's abilities to lead, and their hope for resolution in their relationship is tied to a reverence for nature.
