Just my interpretation on this one hope that helps :) Reason: Just my interpretation on this one hope that helps :) (lines 1,2) I hope you do something for yourself that makes you feel happy again (lines 3,4). Stanza 4: I'm sorry that life can be extreamly difficult and full of anxiousness sometimes. If you keep doing what your doing try not to get sad (line 3), but don't lecture me on my shortcomings (keep your proverbs short and sweet)(line 4). Stanza 3: As you grow older you just get more wrapped up in things your not suposed to be doing (lines 1,2). So you eventually say to yourself fuck it, what can I do. Its almost like when you know somebody that keeps making distructive decissions but you give them advice that they never take. I percieve this as sarcasim, but also as him giving up on this person. The line before this (line 3 suggests he's happy about her being like a bird that will not be. You apear as one thing to everyone but your really something else (like a bird that will not be)(line 4). Stanza 2: I can't stay mad at you its your birthday (lines 1,2). Your someone I love but don't trust, or your someone i love in spite of all your character flaws and I believe you have a good heart (line 4). Stanza 1: I can see your clearly sad (lines 1 & 2). This is what I interpret the song to be saying by stanzas: I don't know much about the circumstances of Sufjans childhood, but I know his parents got divorced when he was really young and he moved away from Detroit with his Father and stepmother. I'm not sure if Romulus is about his real mother or is a fictional shortstory song. I think this song may be about his mother, or at least it sounds like the same person he writes about in the song Romulus.
