Feather
Page France Lyrics

The lyrics of Page France's "Feather" are ambiguous yet evocative, leaving the listener with a sense of longing and yearning. The opening line "I am blowing for a trumpet, Hallelujah" sets the tone for the rest of the song, as if the singer is calling out for something to happen, to signal the end of something or the start of something new. The following lines, "You stood too close to the sunset and it finally outgrew you," suggest that someone has passed away or personal growth outpaced a relationship. The singer then mentions "paint[ing] you on my doorpost," as a tribute to someone who has passed. The singer goes on to say "I'm as heavy as a feather," which could imply that they feel weighed down by their emotions but are still light enough to move forward.

The lyrics take on a more somber and despondent tone in the next verse where the singer describes another person as "a confused little soldier and the bullets go right through you." This could either be interpreted as a person going through emotional turmoil or someone who has been traumatized by past events. The singer then talks about taking this person to a "tin pan" where the "death angel" can understand, implying some sort of confrontation with the literal or metaphorical embodiment of death. The third verse seems to be an extension of the second, with the singer describing themselves as "sinking for the sunset" and contending that their loved one has been "deafened by these trumpets." The song ends on a hopeful note with the repeated chorus of "we will become a happy ending" and "Hallelujah," suggesting that even in the midst of sadness, there is still hope for a brighter tomorrow.
