I understand art is broken down differently person to person. But clearly some of you are really taking things too literal and ignoring the title of the song. My take on the song is the story of Moses. The lead in of the song talking about if the scars being too stubborn or can the bearer of the scars look at them and see better days ahead, shows (again to me) the slaves that were freed by Moses while on his quest from God. While Moses tells his followers to dry their eyes and that they will be home soon. Home could be a different part of the world or simply freedom itself. Oh My God! The water is rising, its rising You just have to believe in me Failing that I'll ride this storm alone We can still make it out FUCK! Clearly the Red Sea is parting for Moses through Gods powers guding Moses and the followers to freedom. I am sure yelling FUCK wasn't the only thing yelled out of excitment and panic. The rest of the song is Gods voice (the deep grumble from the singer) saying he can take them through this if they take his hand. Inviting god in and believeing in his power. The tides get higher and higher yet they are not drowning. The song says they thnk we are drowning...perhaps those on the outside looking at the sea and not going on the journey. But the song reinforces that they are still alive. The end of saying you never said goodbye, could be once Moses was done with his quest God moved on and left nothing during his parting from Moses. I don't know if God spoke to Moses after the parting of the red sea or if Moses talked to the followers after that journey. |
