Reference Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFMO1_5IFzw [Intro] [Verse 1] I wonder if this blade ever ran through someone’s side The blood wiped away to hide How evil you grandfather was ’fore he died But war can make monsters out of us all I’m sure I’d become one if I was called And then it would be my blade Here at this yardsale [Verse 2] (repeat verse 1 chords) The guitar I am holding is way out of tune The neck it is warped and the saddle is through I wonder if sweet music ever was played From the hands of a boy to a girl in the shade From this rickety ghost of a song Here at this yardsale [Verse 3] (repeat verse 1 chords) A dollar for anything here on this quilt A price tag for hands from which all things are built A blanket of voices speak pleasure in shame Flowers of plastic and fruit of the same A basket of nothing at all Here at this yardsale [Verse 4] (repeat verse 1 chords) So if I had the money I’d buy everything And cover the whole lot with good gasoline And burn it for all that I care for the past And rid mother earth of what never should last And give her the present of ash Made of a yardsale

Dans cette chanson, l’artiste évoque des réflexions sombres sur le passé, la violence et la mémoire. Il se demande comment un objet, comme une lame ou une guitare, pourrait raconter les histoires cachées de la souffrance et des péchés de ceux qui ont utilisé ces choses. La scène se déroule lors d'un vide-grenier, symbolisant les vestiges d'une vie passée, avec des objets qui semblent sans valeur mais portent en eux le poids de souvenirs, de joies et de regrets. Le contexte met en lumière le contraste entre le souhait de se débarrasser de la douleur du passé et l'appréciation de ce qui a été, même s’il s’agit de souvenirs difficiles. Ce moment de désenchantement face à la trivialité des objets rappelle l'importance de vivre dans le présent, même en considérant ce qui a été perdu.
