Through The Desert Alone Lyrics

Pretty sure that this one, like Spirit of the Stairwell, is about his wife's miscarriages. "What was stolen from us, now is forever lost". Though I'm not sure about the bit about paying a ransom.

Song Meaning

I'm a huge fan of anything Circa and AG... I don't know all the back stories about he and the rest of the band... but this song felt very much like losing a child... my girlfriend, also, miscarried and this song made me think of the devastation that it did to she and I as individuals... and us... which there's no more us... but it wasn't because we didn't love... it's a loss of faith... and we won't pay the ransom for something that shouldn't have been taken from us, not from something we believed so deeply in... fuck that.
