A few people here have some very interesting ideas. That's what I love about music. The song may be about something completely different than you thought, and to every person it may carry another interpretation. Having experienced my first pregnancy and my first loss at 38 weeks last year, this song has a significant impact on me emotionally since this happened. The first verse speaks to me of the struggle he is having with coming to terms with being a father, and finding his way to acceptance. The second verse says to be patient with him for he is not perfect and although we are suffering, we persevere. The third verse reminds me how I felt when I found out I was pregnant and the fear of telling him for I might lose him, when the time came, I weathered the storm and brought him back to reality. The fourth verse talks about pregnancy and its risks, and the things that weight heavily on his mind, possibly not taking into consideration all the things I was feeling and dealing with on top of his struggles (especially now since the loss), or maybe his fears that his child is not his is another one that comes to mind. Anyways, that's my interpretation of it. |
