This will be a short summary interpretation: I believe that again, like many Republic of Wolves song's, that it is up to any interpretation. The songs meaning may change to you based on how you feel. It's a part of the good music. However, I think this song is a direct prequel to the song "Wood/Bricks" if it were story line of a relationship. This song is explaining what could be the time where there is bickering and ignoring each other in a dying relationship. |

I think this song can be interpreted in many ways, and that's what makes it great for a good discussion as well as making you feel more connected to the song. However, i believe it goes in a gneral direction something like this. Two people met in circumstances making them different than their normal selves, then they joined forces (relationship or otherwise), and got rid of their old depressed selves for each other. " Two carpenters of failing worth,We found ourselves in disrepair,But didn't care.So we took the wood from that old tree,Built a coffin on the sea.Flowers strewn across the deck,Sails drape around our broken necks." Then, since one person cared more about the other, or feelings eventually died down, they broke up. Later they came back multiple times and tried to rebuild a broken friendship/relationship. These too failed due to having no base or initial attraction to build on. "This is the bulk of the song which i won't make you read again. See part about building houses in lyrics." Then, when it's all over, the two people are unable to stay friends and the situation becomes extremely dramatic; which ends it all. "And every splinter of timber like thunder inside of my shuddering frame, Says I'm gonna pay, yeah we're all gonna pay, when it's over" TL;DR: People get together and break up. Tries to rebuild the relationship, but they always end due to no real attraction emotionally. After it all, they can even be friends anymore because of the drama and tragedy that follows the last time they met. Open to personal interpretation. |
