WIld Clover
This Is Deer Country Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hours away, hours away
Hours away
On the back
Since you and me
Since you and me
When I
Can harness me
But thanks for asking
Sometime's it's all we need

Don't wait
All my bones are wilting in the breeze
Don't wait
I know the truth will cover me

(?), 'cause I'm
Bambi
Wild clover, this own tansy
What
do
Now, restlessness
Now, honesty
Not honesty

Don't wait
All my words fall around me
Don't wait
I know the truth will cover me

Heart is hollow
Like a bird
Spare the weight
Spare the hurt
Let me be lifted
Let me be cured

Finally feeling
Find me a word
Found me a gift
So that I may not hurt
Don't wait
I swear there's a soul within me
Don't wait
I know the truth will cover me
Will come for me





Hours away, hours away
Hours away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to This Is Deer Country's song "Wild Clover" are open to interpretation, but there are some possible themes that can be derived from the words. The song seems to be addressing a sense of distance between two people ("Hours away, hours away / On the back / Since you and me / Since you and me"), as well as a feeling of restlessness and searching for something to hold onto ("Can harness me / But thanks for asking / Sometime's it's all we need" and "Now, restlessness / Now, honesty / Not honesty").


The singer expresses a desire to not wait for something to happen, but to face the truth head-on and let it cover them ("Don't wait / I know the truth will cover me"). They also compare themselves to "Bambi" and mention "wild clover" and "own tansy," which could be interpreted as symbols of freedom and self-determination.


The second half of the song speaks to a sense of emptiness or hollowness in the singer's heart ("Heart is hollow / Like a bird"), and a yearning for healing and release ("Spare the weight / Spare the hurt / Let me be lifted / Let me be cured"). The final lines suggest that the singer feels like they are finally reaching a point of clarity and self-discovery ("Finally feeling / Find me a word / Found me a gift"), and that they believe they are worthy of love and connection ("Don't wait / I swear there's a soul within me / Will come for me").
