"Adult Tree" By Haste the Day is almost a "Snow White" tale, engulfing the listener in venomous apples that lead to bed ridden sorrow.
The icy fingers are Satan, he is trying to tempt you to taste the rotten apples. The apples are his temptations, and even one bite is enough to make you sick.As seen in "To Bite and to chew and to swallow to muscle it down bed ridden, shivering fever follow it down".
The apple may look shiny and nice on the outside, but inside they are nothing much bile and poison. I say they look nice on the outside, because its a subtle hint coming from the fact that, who would bite an apple that's rotten on the outside? He also makes this clear by saying "But we know what's inside," it looks nice on the outside but we know what's inside, implying that's where the rot is.
We can see again how he is talking about sin when he says "The breath of a fallen angel brings death if we breathe it in". A fallen angel is sinful and even his breath can kill you, because sin is death. If you are breathing in sin you eventually will die. Maybe not literally but figuratively, you will lose you closeness with God and eventually fall away and sin.
"The young men willl dream dreams and the old men will see visions". This bible verse reveals the "young dreamer," bit. It's as the young dreamer goes to sleep he eventually grows old becoming a prophet, and prophets called the people out and prophesied of their decline. Though they did this, they still followed the people down to inevitable destruction.
This song tells of the external venomous beauty, and dark interest of sin, yet you know the vile taste, bitterness and rot of it, you still take that one big foul bite. Even the prophets that know what follows, still carry on down the same path. When you accept the apple you also know of the deceit that you have given into, and yet you still taste it, chew it swallow it digest it.
