Job's coffin looks down
Job's coffin looks down
To see what mankind
Is gonna do
There is a grid
Of
Disempowerment
All forces
Are being called
To dismantle this
As Job's coffin looks down
Job's coffin looks down
To see
What you're gonna do
There exists
A power of old
Who wanted earth
To be controlled
But She
And She alone
Is her own
She is her own
Job's coffin looks down
Job's coffin looks down
I can't be proud,
Proud of what I have done
Since time
Why do we women
Give ourselves away?
We give ourselves away
Thinking somehow
That will make him
Want to stay
Make him stay
Job's coffin looks down
At the day you
Shut your power down
You must uncreate
That
Destructive tendency
Let your fire
Start to
Heal the fury
Sister its time
To bring it
Back online
As Job's coffin looks down
Job's coffin looks down
To see what you're gonna do
To see what you're gonna do
Job's coffin looks down
To see what mankind
Is gonna do
There is a grid
Of
Disempowerment
All forces
Are being called
To dismantle this
As Job's coffin looks down
Job's coffin looks down
To see
What you're gonna do
There exists
A power of old
Who wanted earth
To be controlled
But She
And She alone
Is her own
She is her own
Job's coffin looks down
Job's coffin looks down
I can't be proud,
Proud of what I have done
Since time
Why do we women
Give ourselves away?
We give ourselves away
Thinking somehow
That will make him
Want to stay
Make him stay
Job's coffin looks down
At the day you
Shut your power down
You must uncreate
That
Destructive tendency
Let your fire
Start to
Heal the fury
Sister its time
To bring it
Back online
As Job's coffin looks down
Job's coffin looks down
To see what you're gonna do
To see what you're gonna do

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
This is what i get from it. My own personal opinion, disclaimer :)
There is, of course, the fox-spirit and tori discussion going on. The entire album is, to me, about making peace with the male/sexist/masculine beings/men in our lives as female/feminists/feminine beings/women (...instead of his blood by your thorn...). There is the story of Anabelle teaching Tori, but obviously (even as she wrote it she knew, and so did Natashya) there is an inter generational conversation going on. Job's Coffin (stars) are looking down, wondering why we "give ourselves away" and why there is a "grid of disempowerment." And those (same) stars can't be "proud" of what we older women have to do, just to exist. HAVE TO. However, there is a younger (newer, more pure) way of looking at things(as the fox spirit/young woman). "sister it's time to bring it back online." DON'T MISS THE PUN. "The power grid is back online." No more grid of disempowerment. The thing is, I wasn't much older than matashya when I started listening to Tori. Nothing has changed, really. it takes a generation...a rebirth....which is nothing compared to the age of the stars.
I apologize for any misspellings, like "matashya." I'm having trouble editing. Not sre whats up with site. will elaborate more clearly when I can edit.
