Look, I really do agree with you guys saying "on the morning that you came", however, I think the "lay to die" has more relevance when its left how it is.... Maybe the "other one" is the feeling of doubt as in like the one before him/her would have waited instead of leaving without her..? its a really well constructed song though... and although some of their lyric is dark its compensated by the angelic harmonies and up beat melody. Its quite an amazing combinations. |

Honestly, I think no response is more accurate than the other, purely because we all interpret the lyric differently. I kind of feel like the song is all about the recklessness of youth and how commitment in marriage tends to mature us and make us a different person. "Cut off my hair and rode straight away" is almost cutting his ties to his relationship and responsibilities. He seems to be thinking about all the riches but at the same time about his responsibilities with Isis. The part that throws me off is after "I knew then what he had on his mind". Kind of like a change kindness to this deceit. Me and my Dad originally beleived that he was taken off by this grave robber who was trying to cash in on Bob's body or his riches. However, Bob uses some really confusing lines that almost contradict each other. "we chopped through the night" and "when he died I was hoping it wasn't contageous". We don't really know if they were chopping at each other, like a fight, or if the physical labour of chopping into the grave was what caused the other man to die. I really think the comment that Bob knows we'll pick apart his lyric is so valid because he's thrown in all these different interpretations just to keep us thinking. Its definately one of my favourites though, purely because i seem to find a new meaning every time I listen to it! |

agreed with demon of the fall. if any of you guys are doing journey's for english, this is a ripper of a supplementary text. i believe it is set in the future, when government deceit for control has become even more fucked up than it is today. As cog is (or has recently become) a band based around propagandist ideas, i believe this song targets the government and its corruption of politics to control a population. It confronts the idea of venturing to the new aswell, with the source being symbolic of the truth, discovery and self realisation, put on a pedestal by the government naming it the forbidden zone. the chorus sums up his internal debates, wondering if he should venture free and strive for individuality, or just fit in like the rest of them. i reckon a lot of this song can be applied to the common day beliefs, exploring the deeper idea of taking risks, and living life to the full and not living in the shadow of self doubt. i love cog. |
