I forgot to mention a word about these two lines: "Run your fingers through your bristling beard or hair" "Run my fingers through my bristling beard and hair" I was kind of confused on why the artist changed from a third-person point of view to a first person point of view, but then I realized that thats the entire point. In the beginning of the song, the artist is singing from a third-person point of view. This would suggest that the main person has stepped back and taken a good look at a situation they are in/idea that they have and analyzed it without any connection to themselves. All the mentioning in the song of another person by the word 'your' is really the main person just talking to themselves trying to analyze their situation without having a biased view. |

This is a mysterious song, and I came here hoping to see other's interpretations of it and was sad to see no one had yet. So as a result, here's my best attempt at deciphering it: "Fall upon my brow, this signature of love" Not entirely sure about this line, but I think 'fall upon my brow' is a metaphor for something like 'I have realized the idea/it has entered my mind' and 'your signature of love' would be an idea that that someone else shared with the main person out of love and concern for the person. Like an outsider viewing the situation/idea from a non-biased standpoint and seeing that it's harming the person so they tell them what they think about it. But this is a tricky line, and I would like to see what others have to say about it. "Descending from the canopy of poison vapor" 'Descending' suggest that with this new perspective comes a colder harder reality. At least you are no longer in 'the canopy of poison vapor' or in other words you are abandoning what was harmful. "Filtered through the cold this magic of the air" Also suggesting that by reexamining whatever it is you were examining with a new, less optimistic and non-biased view ('filtered through the cold') the 'magic of the air' doesn't seem so magical anymore. "Is blushing every cheek and soul thereafter" Looking back at what you previously had thought was embarrassing to you and for others who had the same realization as you. "Wake up to the light, the light thats always there" Again with the realization idea. You 'wake up' to the truth or the 'light' and its always been there, you just weren't 'awake'. I love this line :) "Your mind is tangled from its ever-thinking glory" You're trying to grasp and understand the idea, and while the idea was 'cold' and you had to 'descend' from your more appealing false views, theres something beautiful about the reality of the idea. "Run your fingers through your bristling beard or hair" Stopping to think about the idea (like some people will pull their hair back or comb their beards while thinking) "And watch the endless butterflies within escaping" Not too sure about this line. Perhaps the butterflies represent the comfort you found in the the idea that you're abandoning. "Fall upon my lap, your signature of God" "Descendant from the everlasting curdling wonder" Again, not too sure about these two lines. At first I thought that maybe 'Fall upon my lap, your signature of God' meant that someone was sharing their views of God with the main person. However, now, when I look at how the wording is equivalent to 'signature of love' and how 'signature of love' was someone else's input, I am also considering that 'signature of God' is about how important the idea/situation is. However, 'descendant from the everlasting curdling wonder' doesn't really make sense in with the former proposal. I can't really figure these lines out for sure and again, I am curious about other's interpretations of it. "Let the blinkers flake and wipe the dust away" "Let ripples settle and the riverbed appear" Letting any contention/struggles you had with your new realization go "And watch the endless butterflies around returning" Previously I had related butterflies to comfort and how when the person lost comfort when they abandoned whatever idea they had for this new idea that they realized is the truth. Now the butterflies are returning and the person is finding comfort in this new idea. In the end, I'm pretty sure this song is about a realization that the main person had. However, whether this song is about the general eye-opening realizations that we all sometimes have, or if it's specifically about gaining or losing faith in God, I'm not sure. Many parts of the song ('poison vapor', 'magic of the air', 'signature of God') suggest that the song is about a loss of faith in God. However, art of me is telling me that that is not correct, and that this song is more about the wider subject of an eye-opening realization. |
