Mumford & Sons – Below My Feet Lyrics 13 years ago
So after listening to this song a few times I have a feeling this song is about someone dealing with a death... a death of someone who is very important to them...

"You were cold as the blood through your bones
And the light which led us from our chosen homes
Well I was lost"

The first part of this is obviously a meaning for death... and the second line could mean the person "going to the light." The "chosen homes" being the persons flesh body. last line being that they were lost without the person.

"And now I sleep
Sleep the hours and that I don't weep
When all I knew was steeped in blackened holes
I was lost"

a Breakdown the person went to... locking themselves away because of this death, just sleeping, their waking hours only thinking about the person that died... the "blackened holes" could mean a grave...

The second verse seems to be the person kind of starting to get over that person, though they need time, they know all was well, and also have religion to help them...

I haven't actually worked the chorus into this theory, but it seems to be what I got...
