Red Chord Lyrics
And I'm pulling on the red chord
That pulls you back to me Lord
It helps me out
When you're away
When I was in the army
And they called you back to save me
And I was resting soft
In the arms of my war
And I'm pulling on the red chord
That pulls you back to me Lord
And I'm pulling on the red chord
So you're not so far away
And I was at the uni..
The university of
Blind love and black poetry
And it was there I found you
And you were happy like an angel
But for everything you learned
There is something you must let go of
And I'm pulling on the red chord
That pulls you back to me Lord
And I'm pulling on the red chord
That pulls you back to me Lord
Pulls you back to me Lord
Yeah, pulls you back to me Lord
Pulls you back to me Lord
Yeah, pulls you back to me Lord
That pulls you back to me Lord
It helps me out
When you're away
And they called you back to save me
And I was resting soft
In the arms of my war
That pulls you back to me Lord
And I'm pulling on the red chord
So you're not so far away
The university of
Blind love and black poetry
And it was there I found you
And you were happy like an angel
But for everything you learned
There is something you must let go of
That pulls you back to me Lord
And I'm pulling on the red chord
That pulls you back to me Lord
Yeah, pulls you back to me Lord
Pulls you back to me Lord
Yeah, pulls you back to me Lord

This song, according to Glen, describes the often used panic mechanism employed by Irish people - God and religion.
It's about panicking when things go wrong and, even though you're not religious at all, pulling on an imaginary "red chord" and asking for God's help.
I agree, although i think alot of Irish people have a spiritual side to them. I heard a great Q & A. A guy was asked if he believed in God, and his answer was when i want something i do. Beautiful song. Shame more people internationally dont know the Frames. Glen Hansard is a legend.
