Fugitive Lyrics

A very deep song, but I'll take a stab at it. I'm pretty sure this song, like many of Emily Sailiers', is secretly a religious song. It is about a tremendous internal battle between her two halves, one sinful and the other pious. The whole song is about trying to purge the former from her soul. The climax is incredible, and in the end she caves in and feeds her demons again. A notable, if confusing, verse is the third (I stood without clothes...) where she thinks she has a religious experience, and tries with all her might to hang on to that moment for as long as she can. This is an awesome song, I wish I could write like Emily Sailiers can.
