Portishead – It's A Fire Lyrics 15 years ago
Wow, I can totally see this now. With the biblical lyrics in Wandering Star and the songs about relationships.
Loss of faith, despair, this album is amazing.

Great thread.

The biblical reference blows my mind. I've had this song in my soul for 15 years and never knew about this.

Now my interpretation of the whole album is about losing faith. The lyrics about a close relationship could easily be about the divine.

This is about death, and how the implications change when faith is lost.
The reflex is to go back, but that is not an option: you cannot lie to yourself.

We've got a war to fight
Never found our way

Faith is lost; disillusionment reveals the absence of answers, the lack of direction.
