| Bastille – The Draw Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
Although it probably is about something else, I can also relate this being about "having been through a depression and the constant fear of falling back into it". Starting off with his left and right hand, he's obviously weighing and it reminds me of the devil and angel on someone's shoulder in the cartoons, his conscience talking to him. The entire "Don't listen to your friends" is the exact voice representing the Draw, what do they know, let them go. It's luring him back to the dark/down sides. For some reason there is some kind of beauty in a depression which he feels drawn towards. Whereas in the beautiful contrast in the second bridge, it's more his own voice telling him to listen to his friends and convincing him to keep on fighting this. At least, having been through a long depression and having overcome it, this song is very relatable to me. It's a very clear reminder on the Draw being present and not falling for it again. |
