I love IP. I do. I love SWSMH more than Wolves. But, this song just takes it to an entirely different level for me. I guess I reach an end "stage" in my life when I get some type of monumental song that just moves me tremendously. Last "stage" was Inscape by Stateless. This time it's a tie between this song & Anthony Green + Colin Frangicetto's remix of Long Time Coming. Now, with personal matters aside . . .
This song totally moves with the theme of their album Wolves, in my opinion. I feel that this song speaks of someone who feels like giving up, yet didn't throw in the towel. And, during the course of that, is fighting to find some worth in their life to propel them to keep moving forward. Something to show them that life is still worth living, in a sense.
It seems like these types of songs from Wolves tend to deal with a sense of defeat and recovery that can only be mirrored by thoughts of death. Could it be suicide, or a possible terminal illness, or, even, just walking on the path of the last days. There's something that screams out "FINAL" in terms of the deepest of lows from this collection of songs. I love it, and it speaks much more creatively than a lot of people are even giving them credit for. This band will be one of those lost gems that folks have to come back for if they don't end up having a stronger fanbase, soon.
Also, I think that some of the lyrics are wrong. I believe it's "the voice speaks now" and not "their voice speaks." That makes more sense, and if you listen, it sounds more similar to that.
The other mishap is "in a cavern of a useless skull" and not "our useless skull." Again, it makes more sense lyrically, and connects better to how it sounds when he's singing it. Outside of that, I believe that the lyrics are very spot on.
