Yet another perfect song from Alexi Murdoch. Unfortunately, I am the first one commenting on it, and I have more questions than answers as far as its meaning.
It appears to be about death, or the end. Perhaps the "Slow Revolution" is the circular motion of all of our paths, as we complete a full circle and end where we began. You know, from dust to dust.
And, perhaps, the "floor" that all the people are on is simply a metaphor for life. We each have our time on that floor, to march, to stomp, or to dance however we choose. But once we are gone from that floor, it becomes as it was before, void of us. Again, the full circle idea.
And what is this "true word" burning? Is this a spiritual reference to the Word of God? Or maybe the true word is "death," or the idea of death. After all, death is the only thing that we can be completely sure will happen to each of us.
One thing I think is clear, the emotion of Alexi's voice portrays hope. So perhaps death is the wrong term to use when asked to describe what this song is about. Perhaps the cliche is true, death is simply a transition. A beginning.
Regardless of the song's true meaning, whether I am way off base or not, thank God for Alexi Murdoch. This is music.
