Well, folks, this is not just another love-gone-sour song. Fleet Foxes, in their typical poetic fashion, weave a tale of nostalgia and regret. The singer mourns a lost relationship, symbolized by the pennies in the fountain - wishes made but not fulfilled. He's left pondering what became of his former lover and their shared dreams. The recurring imagery of 'golden sweet' apples suggests fleeting moments of happiness amidst sorrow. And then there's the ocean washing off his name from her throat - talk about dramatic breakups! It's melancholy wrapped in beautiful metaphors; it's about moving on but not without a backward glance at what could have been. #LostLove #Nostalgia
