I find this song speaks to me personally especially about my suicidal thoughts. After all, are we truly gone when we die? Of course, help me but not urge it upon me in a forceful manner. Logical Synthesis: Do we naturally attempt to find blind faith (Truth that we assume true? If we do, whats to say this intricate and beautiful thing isn't just nothing at all? If I wish to leave, let me do so. "Has your body been hallowed by the breeze?" - Are you truly gone when you no longer are alive? "When I choose to close my eyes, coax me don't coax me" - When I choose to end this, help me but do not insist upon me. "If I drown let me sink" - Let me leave if I wish to "Nowhere woven with the utmost care" - This thing that appears to be nothing is also intricate and beautiful. "Do you pray with your eyes closed naturally?" - Blind faith, jumping to conclusions hoping for more My Interpretation This is the meaning that I have read from the lyrics and the feel of the song. A shell of who you really could have been if "they" hadn't "cleansed" you. This could be taken to mean that the "cleansing" has a negative effect that leaves you rotted and empty inside. Has your body been hollowed by the breeze Those what this cleansing meant to Alice Glass will probably be mystery to us. "They" are the others outside ourselves who apply hard and soft force to "clean" you. Coax could be the difference between physically and emotionally coaxing.
Hold me as in embrace me and hold me as in imprison me. I think the song lyrics lack the proper inflection to discern the different meanings of hold and possibly of coax. From an atheists point of view this could be a rejection of the god concept and the wink implies that we were clever to use religion as a salve for the lack of meaning in life. Our subjective truths can be so important to us that we prefer to stay "lost" and drown with them as opposed to change it The framework we use to apply meaning to our lives is woven with the utmost care, because the basic truth, whatever that is to you, is a very fragile thing and can be undone easily. As an atheist, this resonates with me, because though I've found my "truth" it leads me nowhere, the same as religious thought. Do you close your eyes for the shame of what you've done as you pray? Perhaps splints could be considered teachers and parents who taught us these systems, but rejecting these systems you have rendered them useless (broken splints).ĭo you pray with your eyes closed naturally Our silence on the shameful things we do in our systems could be racked up to modesty in our debased ways. Doing something shameful, but we don't notice because it's considered "normal" or choose not to notice. Our lives are governed by many tightly controlled systems so "falling into sequence" could also mean falling into line and following the mores of society. Have you died? No, so you will never know before then. Has it made it's way to the deepest places in your soul? No.

"Have they cleansed you with chloride and scrubbed behind the knees, has your body been hollowed by the breeze"Īre you completely free of all 'impurities'? No. "When I choose to rest my eyes coax me, don't coax me" I'd rather be unfulfilled than held by your grasp. "When it's cold outside, hold me, don't hold me" But he does, we just make you think he doesn't. We don't betray God, because he doesn't exist. If I don't know your 'religion' or haven't 'met' God, please.don't introduce us. "Follow me into nowhere, woven with the utmost care"įollow me into believing in God, something that was created for us to seem believable.
You look into nothingness and find meaning. "Do you pray with your eyes closed naturally" "When the stilts have been broken, and they can't help you now" Wait for God, but that's not the way to find him. Self-explanatory, we are falling into Their trap exactly as planned. "As we fall into sequence and we're eating our young" My InterpretationAll music is a lot more ambigious than it seems, all great things are.
