To me this feels like the story of a world where the government is tyrannical and has absolute power. The person singing lives a safe life without challenging authority. Then someone- a friend, a family member, a lover?- starts talking about overthrowing the government and giving power back to the people. This is the kind of talk that gets people killed, so the singer takes the person into their home and tries to reason with them. However, the other person continues to talk about these dangerous things, and things escalate. They become violent. The singer kills their friend, fearing for their own life. Things are fine for a bit. The singer hides the body and gets on with their life. But then, they start hearing a little voice in the back of their head. "Your friend was right," it says. "This is no life for people to live." And no matter how much they struggle, the singer has started to believe this. To rebel. They are horrified, but it becomes stronger. until others find out, and then- We don't know what happens next, but can assume that the singer meets a similar fate to their friend. |

I feel like this could almost have been written about Bran Stark. (SPOILERS AHEAD) 'Moving along in a pace unknown to man'- running away from everything, like Bran, Hodor and the Reeds are at the moment. And you thought the lions were bad - lions aka Lannisters aka the most confusing family in all of Westeros aka the one that you hate and the one that's on a redemption arc and the one that everyone's loved from the start aka MOVING ON! Well they tried to kill my brothers- there have been several murder attempts, some successful (coughcoughredweddingcoughcough) , on the Stark children. And for every king that died Oh they would crown another- there have been several dead kings (Aerys, Robert, Joffery) But it's harder than you think Telling dreams from one another- Bran's prophetic dreams and warging, which he sometimes has trouble separating from reality. And you thought the lions were bad Well they tried to kill my brothers- again with the Lannisters and the murdering. And felled in the night By the ones you think you They will come for you And felled in the night By the ones you think you love They will come for you- Theon being a traitorous asshole and selling out Winterfell to the Boltons. And the rest kind of repeats. See what I'm getting at? |
