All In Your Rows Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Neilrd 

Cover art for All In Your Rows lyrics by Maccabees, The

easily my favourite song on the album! i find it such a melancholic song even though it has a fun bassline and no directly sad lyrics.

my guess is that it's about how old traditions and formalities (especially in the UK-where the maccabees are situated) that are associated with religion should be removed. all in your rows refers both to the pews in churches and the lead singer being an observer of this. it's a liberal song both personally and politically i think...

basically the end message is probably something like 'don't follow someone elses guidelines, follow your life based on your own experiences/mistakes'
