‘The Barrel’ is a mysterious song that has little discernible meaning, and Harding likes it this way. In NPR’s ‘All Songs Considered’ article, she said,“I realized that the video was a well-intended opinion of mine to just keep it loose,” she says in our conversation. “I feel we’re expected to be ab...
The Barrel Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I feel your love
I feel time is up
When I was a child, I never knew enough
What'd that do to me?
The wave of love is a transient hurt
Water’s the shell and we are the knot
But I saw a hand arch out of the barrel
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Look at all the peaches
How do you celebrate?
Can't appear inside of nowhere
[Chorus]
It's already dead
I know you have the dove
I’m not gettin' wet
Looks like a date is set
Show the ferret to the egg
I'm not gettin' led along
[Verse 2]
Rushed in to hold down your page
And now I sleep 'side words you do not read with me
I hear a song from inside the maze, the very one you made
You shook at the ivory mantle
As a poet, I knew to be gentle
When you have a child, so begins the braiding
And in that braid you stay
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Look at all the peaches
I want to celebrate
I can appear inside of nowhere
Look at all the peaches
[Chorus]
It's already dead
I know you have the dove
I'm not getting wet
Looks like a date is set
Show the ferret to the egg
I'm not getting led along
[Bridge]
The wave of love is a transient hurt
Water’s the shell and we are the knot
But I saw a match struck outside the barrel
[Outro]

Is the mask in the video relevant?
To TheMusicAU -
“Somebody asked me a really wonderful question, I can’t remember who it was, but she made a connection between me dancing and wearing a mask… I said, I hadn’t even – ‘cause I’d forgotten about ‘Stop Your Tears’ and that clip. Then I said, 'Oh, you know what it is? It’s probably (tha...
