| Ben Howard – Conrad Lyrics | 10 years ago |

Lyrics should be modified from 'bridged' to 'breached' 'In the tale of Conrad('s)' I also believe that "The Tale" by Joseph Conrad is referenced here. There is a war at sea and the main character, the commander, comes upon a ship that is undeterminably friend or foe. The Commander feels that the captain of that ship is lying to him about his intentions. Not knowing where the heart of the captain of that ship truly lies, the Commander sends him to his death in the form of false directions that lead to impassable waters. The Commander struggles with the thought that he condemned innocent men to their deaths. Ben Howard writes about specific people in his life, It is possible that he is talking about somebody he was conflicted with, he regrets sending them away because he wasn't sure who they really were at the point where he sent them out of his life. Seems to focus on unsurety and possibly regret. "Oh I loved you with the good And the careless of me But it all goes back" - This seems saying that he gave the person he sings about the benefit of the doubt then took it back on the discovery of something. |
