‘cause it’s burning through the bloodline, it’s cutting down the family tree, growing in the landscape, darling, in between you and me

Florence + The Machine - Landscape x Hozier - To Be Alone

There is nothing else that I know how to do but to open up my arms and give it all to you

[lungsgirl]

landscape by florence + the machine is so the-queer-black-sheep-of-the-family coded to me. like

"Cause she's just like the weather, can't hold her together Born from dark water, daughter of the rain and snow 'Cause it's burning through the bloodline It's cutting down the family tree"

she's literally saying they can't fit her into the role they want her to fill. she's born from something different, something they view as evil and dark and cold. "burning through the bloodline"; basically her entire family gives her weird looks for it, they're against it, its tearing the family apart and the bloodline may end with her so there's double meaning there.

not to mention the line "So she ran to the lighthouse, hoped that it would help her see," that's clearly a reference to virginia woolf's story to the lighthouse. virginia, who florence is a fan of, was also famously queer (the song what the water gave me is also a tribute to virginia and her suicide).

it might be a reach but idc, it means a lot to me and i can interpret it however i want i guess. also, no, im not assuming florence's sexuality. i know she said she doesn't want to label herself this is just my interpretation of a song she happens to be the author of.

Florence acknowledging 5 years since the Big god video but not making a peep about the ceremonials 10th anniversary is kind of funny

'CAUSE SHE'S JUST LIKE THE WEATHER CAN'T HOLD HER TOGETHER BORN FROM DARK WATER DAUGHTER OF THE RAIN AND SNOW 'CAUSE IT'S BURNING THROUGH THE BLOODLINE IT'S CUTTING DOWN THE FAMILY TREE GROWING IN THE LANDSCAPE DARLING IN BETWEEN YOU AND ME

"She wants the silence but fears the solitude She wants to be alone and together with you"

Born from dark water, daughter of the rain and snow

Because it's burning through the bloodline

It's cutting down the family tree.
