This is a beautiful song indeed. And a sad one [like most beautiful ones tend to be]. I interpret it as being an old man watching his loved one [spouse] dying, and here's why: "The cold has a voice / It talks to me" -- he feels her body getting colder, it is she who is speaking her last words to him. "Stillborn by choice / It airs no need to hold" ---- I believe this is about the inevitability of death; or better yet, the frailty of life it self. "Old man feels the cold / Oh baby don't / 'cause I've been told" ---- the old man feels her getting colder and colder and begs her to stay because she said the following words to him before: "Stay on these roads We shall meet, I know Stay on my love We shall meet, I know I know" ------ she wants him to keep on living and not to worry about her cause she believes they will meet again in another life. "Where joy should reign / These skies restrain ------ the joy of living with her is taken away by heavenly fate. "Shadow your love" ------ her words to him; she recognizes her death brings him sadness. The voice trails off again ---- she feigns again from weakness after her words Old man feels the cold Oh baby don't 'cause I've been told Stay on these roads We shall meet, I know "Stay on...my love You feel so weak, be strong Stay on, stay on We shall meet, I know I know" ---- and these words are his to her. He feels she is getting weaker and begs her to be strong just for a little while more and stay; assuring her that he wants to believe they will meet again just like she said they would. |
