I quoted wrong. 1) "You're not doing this alone." 2)"We can dance in our front room again" |

From my point of view, the song is about a loved one fighting cancer. He feels helpless and wishes he could do more. Long term illness, pain, etc. leave one depressed and it's difficult to continue fighting. This person is beginning to give up and he's not letting it happen. "To my sweetheart the melancholy. You have crossed The River Styx." Also, someone who's been sick for awhile tends to push others away - especially those in chronic pain. Yet, the isolation can degrade one's will and the depression worsens. He's not letting this person let go or withdraw. "I won't let you do this alone" As for the blueberries, they contain an astounding amount of antioxidants. In cancer and numerous chronic illnesses, a nutritionist/immunologist may suggest a diet rich in antioxidants in addition to western medicine. He's asking someone dear to him to keep fighting and not to with-hold pain. "Every tear you shed is cleansing, taking the pain away from you." And although he can't do much more than be there and leave blueberries in the fridge, he's writing him/her songs, forcing this person to see that (s)he can lean on him and to not lose hope. "You stand up for the both of us Remember that when the darkness looms ... We can dance in a front row again" At any rate, I play this song on repeat. It makes me feel less alone. Never lose hope. |
