This is one of those mysterious songs that I imagine must have a different interpretation for everyone who listens to it. Sure, there are some specific anchor points in the lyrics that make it personal to the artist, but it’s also vague enough to be adapted to our own individual circumstances. In my ears, it’s a song filled with conflict, longing, sacrifice, contrition, and regret. Which makes it not just a great song, but a beautiful accompaniment to this week’s chapter…
Out of the mire we were torn from Remember Out of the fire again But I’m an ember I hold a banner for you But it’s upside down You got a question or two But I’m tongue tied now Don’t try to follow me I would Hold you down if I could Make you the enemy I would Let you down
