Kettering The Antlers Hospice

I wish that I had known in
That first minute we met
The unpayable debt
That I owed you

'Cause you'd been abused
By the bone that refused
You and you hired me
To make up for that

And walking in that room
When you had tubes in your arms
Those singing morphine alarms
Out of tune

They had you sleeping and eating and
And I didn't believe them
When they called you a hurricane thunder cloud

[ The Antlers Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
When I was checking vitals
I suggested a smile
You didn't talk for a while
You were freezing

You said you hated my tone
It made you feel so alone
So you told me I had to be leaving

But something kept me standing
By that hospital bed
I should have quit but instead
I took care of you

You made me sleep and uneven
And I didn't believe them
When they told me that there
Was no saving you

Comments and Song Meanings

I think the song, and the whole album, is about a hospice worker falling in love with a patient. I know that sentiment has been expressed already here. I just want to reiterate it, because I believe it to be the truth.

The song is about the singer, (Peter Silberman) he works in hospice, and he finds himself falling in love with this girl who had bone cancer. He slowly has to watch her.. well die.. while he falls in love with her. :(

It may have been about his wife but I think the album is written from the perspective of a hospice worker. I think anyone working in the human service field especially the health care field can relate to this song. The hurricane thunder cloud lyric makes a lot of sense in perspective. Health care workers often tell the oncoming staff about the behavioral traits of the client they're assisting. Sometimes they talk a lot of shit about the client if he/she's difficult. This is obviously the case with this client.

actually, it's a concept album and the whole thing is about losing his wife to bone cancer and it follows from finding out to her death.

i belive it is a song about a love that can not be loving someone who was so hurt by another that they cant let go and love again but love for this woman keeps him holding on as she slips even more distant to relationships wishing she had the love past when missing out on a love that can be stroger yet she slips away

It's a beautiful song. The instrumentation goes with the lyrics perfectly. The whole album is pretty mellow and it is a perfect album for when you're just wanting to chill out.

My guess is that it's a song about losing a girlfriend/boyfriend to bone cancer. One of the best, saddest songs I've heard.
