Anyway, when i saw her live she explained that this song is about a baby born and left in a forest. It grows up by itself, teaching itself about the things around it. Then it finds its way into the real world, and discovers how different and cruel it is:
'So left to wander blind, I find myself in cautious times,
And they say, Loves labour is never lost; labour on to this very day.'
So it goes back to the forest, and there it finds another baby:
'So I walk into the fog, found a babe atop a log and all alone'
and teaches it everything they know about the world,
'Took him under, took him on,
Taught him everything about the world I'd come to know'
I thought the song was called "Made by Maid".
