I am not sure what the song actually means, but I had to say that the first time I actually listened to the lyrics I thought about the crucifixion of Jesus. I consider myself to be a very spiritual person but not overly religious. I will try my best to interpret some of the lyrics that made think of the crucifixion of Jesus. Now if you feel like I am reaching, so be it. LOL. I don't really want to debate on religion, it's not my focus. Just explaining what comes to mind when listening to this song. Ok here we go. Speak until the dust Settles in the same specific place (Jesus prophesied his death and it came to fruition just as he said) Light refused to go (He refused to give in to the pain & torture) Drink it from a cast and iron plate Instead of cold milk Was offered unripe (Jesus said he thirsted and the soldiers gave him sour vinegar wine) Instead of silence Considered craven (Jesus was taunted by the soldiers and the crowd) Nothing made it seem Hidden where the aging soil was pure Pressed against the crease Mountains become fragrant at the source (This is when Jesus and the other two criminals made it to Mount Calvary, ready to be mounted) How can you stand this Exotic angle (the visual of the 3 crucifixes tormented the loved ones, believers, and followers of Jesus.) I read it somewhere That they would lie still (In the bible, they describe the deaths of the criminals and Jesus) I remember how cloth hung Flexing with the forest clung Half waist and high raised arms Kicking at the slightest form (Visualizing Jesus only baring a cloth around his waist and nailed to the cross with his arms stretched out. Wincing and flinching due to the excruciating pain.) I remember my first love I remember my first love (Jesus died for our sins because he loved us but we had yet to even know it. Making him our first love) Unrelied I was called Missing teeth out of favour (I believe this is from the point of view of the criminal crucified beside Jesus that asked to be forgiven and Jesus promised him a place in Paradise (The Kingdom of Heaven).) Or it could even Simon that was called upon by a soldier to help Jesus carry his cross.) Nickel beach it was all Gathering by the sundial (Jesus’ loved ones watched and waited for his last breath) I woke hard I woke heavy For the half way stop Five whole hours in (It is said that the crucifixion lasted 5-6 hours (don’t quote me). When I woke hard I woke heavy with the live or parts (When he died there was an Earthquake and ancient prophets had risen from the dead. This is when they finally admitted that Jesus has to be the Son of God) I remember how cloth hung Flexing with the forest clung Half waist and high raised arms Kicking at the slightest form I remember my first love I remember my first love I remember how cloth hung Flexing with the forest clung Half waist and high raised arms Kicking at the slightest form I remember my first love I remember my first love I remember my first love |

| @[vivi808:3467] This was a beautiful interpretation. The part where you said that losing teeth in a dream indicates loss. I never thought to think of that. I have dreams about losing teeth frequently, so I can relate to that sentiment. | |
