Re: the line, “Oh you oughta spare your face the razor / Because no one's gonna spare the time for you.” Life is short and moments are precious. Often we spend our time doing mundane and conditioned tasks, but if we are mindful we can start reclaiming lost time. |

| Laura Marling – I Was An Eagle Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| I think that the eagle-dove metaphor could refer to the idea that the narrator is viewing her relationship from above. She views romance as a delusion that she can't fully participate in since she is busy analyzing it. The last line of the song provides a great double meaning: she is "preying" on this man (i.e. seducing) but also praying for herself since she understands that she is setting herself up to get hurt. | |
