I feel this song is perhaps one of David's most depressing.
The most important line in the song is line 4. "as it is that's just a lie" - this is in regards how it would maybe do him good to believe there is a God - except he realises it's a lie. His conclusion is that "Love", or God if you will won't guide him.
Then there comes the moment of hope. In winter there we see the beautiful image of this tree with glittering colours. Yet then when we pull back - look at it from perspective we realise it's barely a "quiver in the dirt"
While in my opinion a song about losing hope - but the question remains. Something is guiding him in this song - if not God - what?
"...but the question remains. Something is guiding him in this song - if not God - what?"
The desire to do good, even without the guidance of a God. I've wanted that guidance myself and found I really only have me.
