| Mumford & Sons – The Cave Lyrics
| 15 years ago

Plato's allegory of the cave was the first idea that came to my mind as I heard the song.
English is not my first langage, so I had to check up the lyrics, and well, somehow I stick to the idea.
Anyhow lyrics are beautiful and cryptic in a poetic way enough to find many interesting and different meanings (to find to eat and to drink would we say in french " y trouver à boire et à manger") |

| Micah P Hinson – Don't Leave Me Now Lyrics

Love this and wish I could told something like that to my lover at the end. Though I doubt. I've always thought it was a break up / heartbroken song. English isn't my mother tongue and while posting the lyrics (btw, a verse's missing, if someone knows...), I read a review where the reporter was talking about a death song. Does it make sense to any of you ? Obviously, there're some verses that cold be understood this way.
I'm more for the heartbroken version but I like the idea of the song being ambigous. |

I agree with all the comments. This is music first, words included. I don't say it doesn't mean something but the songwriting is pretty poetic (and cryptic) and based on rhymes and rythm. You understand some things but it's up to everybody. They're considered a political group in France, though their music isn't directly explicit, some songs critizice global economy and capitalism & its excesses. But mainly, the lyrics are very litterary. In this song the accumulation of many nouns make sens with the chorus. You feel overwhelmed and "lost". Hope i was clear, because even if french speaking persons could translate this song (i'm french), the meaning would be up to what it conveys to you. I can translate but it's long and gets complicated at the end. Anyway, I'll try if anyone asks. |
