The lead off track, "Right Away", best exemplifies the band's new direction, a dense and jarring embrace of the immediacy of real personal connection. Later on in the album, restraint is more readily apparent, in tracks like "Settling it Off", where the sonics do not threaten to overwhelm but are instead peeled back to reveal a more subdued, secure sense of direction.
The notion that any one of these songs could be your favorite depending on where your head and heart reside, moment to moment, is the most appealing aspect of this album. Throughout Garden of Arms, swagger is juxtaposed against an icy delicacy, making the scope of the record complex but somehow an easily digestible statement of how Peter Wolf Crier are rolling: a wheel, rusted with unrestrained hope.
It is apparent from listening to the album that, for Pisano and Moen, 2010 was a both an absolutely exhilarating and a profoundly exhausting year. How they so evocatively and effectively channeled the fabric of their experiences into their body of work is not something they could do two years ago. This is a band that is just starting to figure out what they are capable of.
Beach
Peter Wolf Crier Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tied to tides to break me
Raised to drown its hold
Till it's undone
You know I've known wrong
You know I've known wrong
Laid on my own one ray
Save me break my legs
Make me run
You know I've known wrong
You know I've known wrong
Wake me
Writing step by sole
Washed away by repeat
Named by all I tow
Under the sun
You know I've known wrong
You know I've known wrong
Washed up
Set your sail my way
Leave me till the hook drop
Raise over and stray
Save no one
You know I've known wrong
You know I've known wrong
The lyrics to Peter Wolf Crier's song "Beach" are ambiguous and open to interpretation, which is what makes it such a powerful song. There are many ways to interpret these lyrics, but some of the most common interpretations relate to a sense of struggle and self-awareness. The opening lines, "Making a silent switch I sew, tied to tides to break me," suggest a sense of struggle, perhaps with addiction or other personal demons. The singer seems to be struggling against something that is trying to hold him back, and he wants to break free from that hold. The lines "Raised to drown its hold, till it's undone" suggest that this hold is something that has been with the singer for a long time, and that he has been working to overcome it for some time.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of self-awareness and acceptance of past mistakes. The repeated lines "You know I've known wrong" suggest that the singer is aware of his own mistakes and failures, and is trying to atone for them in some way. The lines "Bleed me till we're one spot, save me break my legs, make me run" suggest a sense of self-punishment, as if the singer feels he deserves to suffer for his mistakes. However, the line "Wake me" suggests that he also wants to be shaken out of his current state and to move forward.
The final lines of the song, "Set your sail my way, leave me till the hook drops, raise over and stray, save no one," suggest a sense of acceptance and surrender. The singer seems to be saying that he is ready to face whatever comes his way, and that he doesn't want anyone to try to save him from it. He is ready to face his struggles on his own, and to overcome them.
Overall, "Beach" is a powerful and emotional song that deals with themes of struggle, self-awareness, and acceptance of past mistakes.
Line by Line Meaning
Making a silent switch I sew
I made a quiet change that I am now committed to
Tied to tides to break me
Bound to the forces of the ocean that can overpower me
Raised to drown its hold
I was taught to resist the waves that threaten to take me under
Till it's undone
Until I am free of these ties that bind me
You know I've known wrong
I am aware of my past mistakes
Laid on my own one ray
I bask in the sunlight, trying to find my way
Bleed me till were one spot
Take away everything that separates us until we are unified
Save me break my legs
Free me from my constraints, even if it hurts
Make me run
Push me to move forward and chase my dreams
Wake me
Help me come out of my slumber and face the world
Writing step by sole
I am leaving a trail, one footstep at a time
Washed away by repeat
Repetitive motions erode my path over time
Named by all I tow
I am defined by what I carry with me
Under the sun
Living in the light and being exposed to the world
Washed up
I have been brought to shore, exposed and vulnerable
Set your sail my way
Direct yourself towards me, take a chance
Leave me till the hook drop
Stay connected to me for as long as possible, until the end
Raise over and stray
Overcoming obstacles and wandering beyond expectations
Save no one
Looking out for oneself, not worrying about others
