Dead South Lyrics
Meaning of the song:
"The Cured Contessa" by The Dead South, featured on their album "Chains & Stakes," is a vivid narrative that diverges from the band's typical themes of love, loss, and betrayal, offering instead a light-hearted and somewhat whimsical look at familial love and daily rituals. The song captures the simplicity and warmth of preparing a loved one's favorite breakfast, using the act of cooking bacon as a metaphor for care and devotion within the family unit. This departure from their usual storytelling, filled with murder ballads and tales of disloyalty, showcases The Dead South's versatility in songwriting and thematic exploration.
The album itself is a journey through varied narratives, with each track weaving its unique story, yet "The Cured Contessa" stands out for its focus on the mundane yet deeply meaningful aspects of life. While other songs on the album delve into darker and more complex themes, this track offers listeners a moment of reprieve, highlighting the beauty in life's simple pleasures and the bonds that tie us to our loved ones.
The Dead South's signature blend of progressive bluegrass, alternative Americana, and folk shines through in "The Cured Contessa," as it does throughout "Chains & Stakes." Their ability to mix masterful instrumentation with compelling storytelling remains evident, even in a song that at first seems to tread on lighter subject matter. Upon closer inspection, however, the song's seemingly trivial lyrics hint at something deeper, perhaps reflecting on the importance of cherishing the moments we have with those we love.
As part of an album that continues to explore the band's unique sound and narrative depth, "The Cured Contessa" adds a layer of relatability and warmth, further solidifying The Dead South's position as not just musicians, but as storytellers capable of capturing the full spectrum of human experience, from the profound to the everyday.
Lyrics:
Mama loves her bacon, she loves it every day
Early in the morning it's the only way to
Make her get up out of bed
Better get that mama fed
Mama it's time to eat
Come and get your morning meat
Mama loves her bacon, she loves it every day
I love her so I'm making sure she gets her way
We've been waking up earlier these days, that's for sure
The bed is hardly ever made but that's alright with her
We've got a little more on our plates in more ways than one
But I'll still be making bacon in the morning for the ones I love
Mama loves her bacon, she loves it every day
I love her so I'm making sure it's just the
Way she likes it crispy sweet
Slip them slippers on your feet
Mama it's time to eat
Come and get your morning meat
Mama loves her bacon
She loves it every day
I love her so I'm making sure it's just the way
That mama loves her bacon
She loves it crispy sweet
It always gets her going
She loves that morning meat
