i love the part after the first chorus. Sometimes kindness speaks in tongues with one of them I can see love in her eyes And if I fall death will never stain one of his hands I find safety in these lives the subject we should understand first is what does "her" and "his" referred to? here's my interpretation "her" is i think refer to Mother Nature, to me that translate to surrounding, so to put it in context: The protagonist saw something "beautiful" in nature( maybe kindness of others or something in that particular) and thought that maybe there's still hope in life, then in that same moment his mind reflect all the wrong doing and bad things he have done. "And if I fall death will never stain one of his hands " . "His" i think refer to God himself. "if I fall death will never stain one of his hands "as if even if he dies, the God wouldn't care because he's sinful ( maybe they use the hindu's concept of God since hindu portrayed God having many hands ) and that translates to: He couldn't find solace as his past haunted him which prevented him to proceed in life along with having any thoughts about hope. lastly the part "i find safety in these lies" could mean that, he knew there's still chance in life but due to his past that's haunted him, he chose to stay in his current state which is wallowing in his own sadness and failure in life because he's afraid he's going to fail again. btw sorry for poor explanation, english is not my main language. |
