| Mumford & Sons – Awake My Soul Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
This song is about wanting desperately to love someone, but knowing that either 1) you can't love them as much as they deserve, or 2) they don't deserve your love. "How fickle my heart" - I often can't make up my mind "and how woozy my eyes," - I have been crying from the pain that has been inflicted upon me. "I struggle to find any truth in your lies" - You have lied to me, and now I don't know what to trust. "And now my heart stumbles on things I don't know, this weakness I feel I must finally show" - I'm struggling with the truth that has come out and do not know who or what to trust anymore. I can't hide that fact, and so must show my confusion and distrust. "Lend me your hand and we'll conquer them all, but lend me your heart and I'll just let you fall" (My favorite line) - As friends, we can do anything and conquer any doubt that we can't do what ever we set our minds to. But if you fall for me, I'll just let you down. I can't be trusted with your heart. "Lend me your eyes I can change what you see, but your soul you must keep, totally free" - I can show you the world, I can show you things beyond your wildest imagination, but you have to keep yourself free from me. You have to remain independent because I don't know how to care for those who truly love and depend upon me. "In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die, where you invest your love, you invest your life" - We have a short life, and who ever you love becomes your home and your life. "awake my soul, you were made to meet your maker" - Make me come alive, because I feel like I'm dying. I love this song so much! so beautiful (as all of their songs are) but this one just has so much meaning to me. |
