| Weaver At The Loom – Without fear of their return. Lyrics
| 13 years ago

The album that this song is a part of tells a whole story. The five song titles go, in order: "Buck up, they're coming. You can't escape them; You can't evade them. But you can enjoy life before and after, Without fear of their return." The very first song talks about wanting to overcome fear, the following songs talk about fleeing on a journey into the wide unknown, discovering both darkness and beauty in the world, learning to conquer "toxic" uncertainty and pain, and it's all capped off by this finale.
So I see this song as being about surviving in the aftermath, and realizing that you're stronger for the experience ("But it left me brave and bold"), that you've found out things about yourself that you never would have guessed. Maybe you made it where others couldn't ("They weaken, die, and fade"), but there will always be more who will face trials in the future, and maybe triumph as well ("Waiting in patience to show/Their glory at later times"). For now, you can move into the future, because at least this trial is over, and whatever else life may bring, you'll face it with head held high, "'cause I have finally found my bravery." |

It's only from reading the comments here that I realized this song is probably in reference to a relationship with God, and I'm thankful, because otherwise, this would be one creepy stalker-worshipping masochistic piece. It seems romantic on the surface, but this isn't a relationship between equals in the least. "Without you I can't go on ever again"? You can't be that desperately dependant on another mortal and have it be in anyway healthy. Nope, definitely about God. Whew. |

Sounds like a song about manipulation ("we're just the toys in the hands of another"), and the consequences of trying to recover ("can you heal the broken worlds within/can you strip away so we start again"), to break free of the cycle ("or cut this rope and let us run"). Voodoo dolls are all about control, and pins to remind you of your place, just in case you think you're getting away from it ("just when all seems fine/and I'm pain free/jab another pin/jab another pin in me"). And overrall, maybe saying that it's easier to destroy than to rebuild ("can you heal what father's done?/or fix this hole in mother's son?"), so the hard part of the fight is yet to come. |
