i think i can help with the hunger games soundtrack.


this song just came on my ipod, and my mind flashed to scenes from the hunger games. that is easy enough to explain, as i've been listening to the new antlers album a lot while reading. however, i started paying attention to the lyrics this time, because i'm not reading, and found that they are hauntingly appropriate (no spoilers, don't worry) :
"No Widows" - The Antlers
If I never get back home,
There’s no garden overgrown,
No widows in the walls,
No widows left alone,

No shirts to hang or fold,
No kid out in the cold,
No widows on the walls,
No widows on the phone.

If I’m stuck out here alone,
If I’m stranded here all year,
With just nothing left at home,
No widows disappear.

If the wheels jump off the road,
There’s no widows left to know,
No perfect love above,
No punishment below.

When they shake, say the wings won’t break.
When they shake, say the wings won’t break.
 mockingjay wings, amiright?!!?!?
