- Romulus LyricsOnce when our mother called
She had a voice of last year?s cough
We passed around the phone
Sharing a word about Oregon
When my turn came
I was ashamed
When my turn came
I was ashamed
Once when we moved away
She came to Romulus for a day
Her Chevrolet broke down
We prayed it never be fixed or be found
We touched her hair
We touched her hair
We touched her hair
We touched her hair
When she had her last child
Once when she had some boyfriend, some wild
She moved away quite far
Our Grandpa bought us a new VCR
We watched it all night
We grew up in spite of it
We watched it all night
We grew up in spite of it
We saw her once last fall
Our Grampa died in a hospital gown
She didn?t seem to care
She smoked in her room and colored her hair
I was ashamed
I was ashamed of her
I was ashamed
I was ashamed of her
I was ashamed of her
She had a voice of last year?s cough
We passed around the phone
Sharing a word about Oregon
When my turn came
I was ashamed
When my turn came
I was ashamed
Once when we moved away
She came to Romulus for a day
Her Chevrolet broke down
We prayed it never be fixed or be found
We touched her hair
We touched her hair
We touched her hair
We touched her hair
When she had her last child
Once when she had some boyfriend, some wild
Our Grandpa bought us a new VCR
We watched it all night
We grew up in spite of it
We watched it all night
We grew up in spite of it
We saw her once last fall
Our Grampa died in a hospital gown
She didn?t seem to care
She smoked in her room and colored her hair
I was ashamed
I was ashamed of her
I was ashamed
I was ashamed of her
I was ashamed of her

✔️
When we explore how the lyrics were meant to make us feel, Sufjan Stevens’ 'Romulus' song illustrates a complicated familia relationship, expressing feelings of shame and distance towards a mother who appears alienated and indifferent. The lyrics portray a couple of abuseful times on the part of the family, illustrating a sense of getting mature in spite of adversity, which, in the case of the broken Chevrolet and the new VCR, is the depiction of the emotional effect of family relationships on personal development and self-view. 'Romulus' lyrics mainly focus on the themes of nostalgia, reflection, angst, heartbreak, and solitude. The question of family relationships, shame and regret, and nostalgia and memory are interwoven throughout the song. The lyrics encompass family relations and personal introspection that are perhaps too heavy for very young children to cope with without adult assistance. Smoking and feelings of shame are mentioned, which might be seen as adult themes, but they still don't reach the intensity threshold for a higher rating.
