The Bringer

this song seems to be about something a person can't scrap from their mind. a certain idea or belief that won't leave them and ultimatly, is leading to it taking grave effects on their well-being and over all life. Something like a girlfriend's graphic past or something they were taugh as a child....I don't know, great fucking song though : ) Soilwork is the shit.

yeah he tells of something that forces us to play a reurotic role, and he wants to escape that, to be left alone.

"Bring it back, bring it home Enough is enough, I'm alone Everything's set all ready to go away ... There comes a time when this nighmare will turn to hate"

he wants to escape, before the nightmare that life is turn to hate inside him... maybe he's talking about suicide.

Quiet chorus, but very cool song. Soilwork rock!

Great song. catchy as hell! to quote my unknowing friend above, "Soilwork rock!" hahaha Great song...

I was listening to The Bringer while going to the university, trying to interpretate it differently.

The lyric/poetic subject (lyric self) was "enlightened" about something: "A bitter message from heaven sent It says we're asleep at the wheel again"

Then it started being tormented and gives us an advice: "Repress what's before your eyes, gather the spirits and hypnotize", probably because it got into problems for saying something that shouldn't be said ("Those words will always make you pay").

Also about "Repress what's before your eyes", it seems the lyric self saw something that made it neurotic or jealous ("Forcing us to play a neurotic role") and now tries to erase those images: "Oh, won't you take this thing out of me It never leaves me alone"

And that's how I interpreted this song, folks.

Is it just me or someone else is listening "Everything sets our way to go away"?
