Moose Blood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you remember when dad could drink
I guess so much has changed here lately
But I'm so proud of you and him
Just so you know I like your hair short anyway
And so you know I like it that way
I've got my best shirt on
Are you feeling okay
Because I know this journey is far too long
Just so you know I like your hair short anyway
And so you know I like it that way
Even though you listen to the radio so quietly and talk all the way through
I'd still sing songs on the motorway with you any day
Anyway
Even though you listen to the radio so quietly and talk all the way through
I'd still sing songs on the motorway with you any day
Anyway
The lyrics to Moose Blood's "Anyway" may initially come off as a simple song about a road trip, but upon closer inspection, it seems to be a bittersweet reflection on family and how relationships can change over time. The first verse mentions the parents and their past behaviors - the mother's long hair and the father's drinking. The singer acknowledges that things have changed recently but expresses pride in how they've grown.
The chorus repeats the phrase "just so you know I like your hair short anyway, and so you know I like it that way," which could be interpreted as a message to the singer's mother that he still loves and appreciates her, regardless of any changes she's gone through. There's a sense of nostalgia and perhaps even regret in these lines, as if the singer is trying to hold onto a memory or a feeling that's slipping away.
The second verse mentions a journey to Nan's house, and the singer asks if their companion is feeling okay, implying that they're concerned about them. The chorus is repeated again, with a slight change in phrasing, "anyway" being added onto the end. The final lines of the song reiterate how the singer would still sing songs on the motorway with this person, even though they talk through the radio. There's a sense of comfort and familiarity in this, as if singing together is a way to bridge any gaps that may have formed between them.
Overall, "Anyway" seems to be a song about holding onto connections despite the inevitable changes of life. It's a reminder to appreciate the people we have, even as our relationships with them evolve.
