Widow Lyrics
I saw the widow in the window waving down at me
Heal your bones
I saw the bird circling above me
Heal your bones, heal your bones
I had a vision of this, but so painless
Heal your bones
I opened the book to your birthpage
And it said, heal your bones, heal your bones
Heal your bones
I saw, I saw, I saw, I saw
Heal your bones, heal your bones
Heal your bones, heal your bones
Heal your bones, heal your bones
Heal your bones
Heal your bones
Heal your bones, heal your bones
Heal your bones
And it said, heal your bones, heal your bones
Heal your bones
Heal your bones, heal your bones
Heal your bones, heal your bones

Chelsea said in a YouTube interview that this song was about a friend of hers who lost his arm in a drunk driving accident.
Correction - it was his leg, not arm.
Correction - it was his leg, not arm.
As for my interpretation, I think Chelsea is describing different premonitions she had of her friend's accident before it happened.
A widow is a common symbol of loss and sadness, especially in dreams. The "bird circling above me" is presumably a crow, raven, or possibly vulture - all obvious indicators of death since they all circle their prey.
It's interesting to me to note that Chelsea is a Scorpio (born November 11), which is said to be the most psychic and intuitive astrological sign. I'm a Scorpio myself and I've had very strong intuitions about things either before they've happened or before I'm informed of it. It's quite possible Chelsea felt something bad was going to happen to her friend and saw all of these things as warnings.
