I think the meaning of the song may be lost seeing as it is sung by an all-male band. Too me the lyrics fit very well as being written from the perspective of a woman who is expecting a girl, considers an abortion, then reconsiders. Why it think this is: "Come my little venus" Waiting for a small venus, ei little female "You are in me." the girl she is waiting for is literally inside of her. "wrapped in shadows, yeah you're one of us" acknowledging the humanity of the child. the unborn is literally wrapped in shadows "Let me in, let me breathe" from the perspective of the unborn "You scream in silence but I can hear you." this is a pretty freaky line, but babies who are aborted actually scream (in silence) as they are being terminated. "but I can hear you" seems like a the mother resonating with the humanity of her child and resconsidering As "like the light, well see you soon" echos the choice to keep the baby. Other lyrics thrown in as artists do to obfuscate/add texture/interest |
