Brandon Flowers – Right Behind You Lyrics 14 years ago
The way i interpret this song is a narrative from a person who has died, addressing the person they love. A few reasons for this, when he mentions trials coming suddenly and without explanation, I imagine he is talking about untimely deaths; when he talks about being born with goodness, this is reassurance to the person that they are capable of coping. As well as this i think the line 'Wherever you Go Now' is juxtaposed with the chorus to say 'wherever you go now I'm right behind you'. 'In the light of hope' is maybe referencing the person's faith that Flowers is singing to, kind of like, "you're hoping to be with me again, and i am with you, which is why it is light'.
'When you touch the stone' I think is the person visiting his gravestone and clinging on to his memory through their grief. When Flowers says 'No-one expects you to deny and, and no-one accepts your reasons why' i think hes talking about how other people expect the person to move on, and don't see why they keep clinging to his memory.
That's me done, sorry if i bored you. But it's an amazing song :)
