| Mercenary – My Secret Window Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
To me, this song is about contemplating suicide and looking for a sign or permission to do it. "To see the destination, to be the one who makes the final call" - to seek the end-of-life/afterlife, and be the one who makes the decision when that happens. "To escape the way we feel we bleed and rush to say goodbye" - thats pretty obvious. "Save me, my miracle, take my doubts away and fly through my window I'll rise and fall through you" - to me it sounds like asking God (or similar) for a sign that its okay to do it. Saving him by letting him know it's okay to end his life or giving him the strength to actually do it. A sort of reverse selling your soul - like I'll believe in you or commit to you (rise and fall through you) if you just let me know this is okay to do or help me to do it. "And so we speak to feel a little less neglected" - speaking to a God (not something he would normally do) to try overcome the neglect he's felt living this existence. "To reach the final chapter and understand the answers that you hide" - again, talking to God. Looking to move on to what's next (afterlife) and try to understand all the stuff God has withheld from us. "We'll meet the ones we had to leave behind" - meeting people in the afterlife that has previously died. Given the content of many other Mercenary songs, I don't actually feel like the writer believes in God. This just feels like a desperate plea to one if he exists. In a way that makes his "secret window" - speaking privately to a God he publicly doesn't believe in. |
