"Richard Applegate, from “Servants and Kings”, also narrates this song. Upon returning home from war, he finds he no longer fits in. But he does not leave, and instead does what’s expected of him by his family. He struggles with feeling like a fraud and a coward until he befriends another man, Raymond, who convinces him to start living for the things he truly believes in." |

"This song was originally for the younger sibling in the song “Sisters.” But during the making of this album, my own family had a huge falling out that left me adopting a child and selling my home, among other events. I did not intend to work myself into this family tree so directly, but life happens. This song is now from my own point of view." |

In “Southern Snow”, Gabriel mentions that his sister “walked into the woods and was never seen again.” This is her song. She was born stranger than anyone else in the family and felt most comfortable far away from civilization. She spends her time with animals, or alone. But like weeds, rumors of her always spring forth from the homes she finds. This song follows a young boy dying of leukemia. He’s heard rumors that there’s a witch in the woods with odd powers, and in a last ditch effort, decides to find her and ask if she’ll help. She reveals herself, hears his story, and after some deliberation, bites into his flesh and sucks the cancer from his blood. He is saved, but she must leave and find a new set of woods to inhabit, both for her safety and any sense of peace. |
