Ah, that generalization definitely fits the context! Like you said, the line's repetition would seemingly apply to Daniel as opposed to anyone else in the story, as the song's namesake. I never realised Daniel was constantly betrayed I just assumed it referred to the one event that led to him being thrown in with the lions, but that is so interesting, maybe i should read the book of Daniel...Thanks heaps:) |

hey thanks for going through that interpretation, it's great! I was wondering, he says "well they tried to kill my brothers" by THEY does he mean those people that threw his brothers in the furnace and not the lions? probably really obvious but hey :) |

"Felled in the night by the ones you think you love"
Love this song!! I agree that it's definitely about Daniel from the Bible, but I also think it's a tool so to speak, representing the feeling of being betrayed and hurt by people you love and trusted. Blatantly being stabbed in the back.
*The lyrics btw is Felled, not fell xx |

(Although I now love azurities^ interpretation) When I first heard this song, and before reading the aforementioned interpretation, I pictured it like you're holding a sleeping infant (referring to oblivion and how babies are unaware of their surroundings to an extent) and just wondering what his/her future is going to be like. Although I love that with Bastille songs, even though there is usually a defined story, it is still ambiguous enough to be left to subjective interpretation. |

Oh wow that interpretation is amazing, and something I never thought of but now it's all I see. The one thing I can say is like yourself I never thought it was about romantic love like a lot of people, so i love your view! |
