Cover art for Dark Undercoat lyrics by Emily Jane White

beautiful song, and I may be ignorant for saying this, but does anyone see the meaning? I'm sure there's something profound in here that I just can't find...

It IS beautiful.

think it may be about a man who went to war. He was strong and unable to be harmed there. He asked the narrator to be with him and was rejected because of her fear. Now he is gone, and I think she is saying he killed himself, or maybe just that he has died metaphorically on the inside.

I could be way off though. :p Its just the story that plays in my head

We blind ourselves with these expectations and these assumptions that plague our daily lives. Sometimes, the truth is a soft and fragile light that we guard deep within ourselves until we allow another in.
