Concrete Walls Lyrics

Cover art for Concrete Walls lyrics by Fever Ray

It's obviously about the trials and tribulations of a mother trying to be all she can be for her child. The concrete walls are a metaphor of her feelings of love and obligation to stay near to her child for years and years, and eventually, until death.

This song is dark, yet still has warmth and hope to it, which really embodies early motherhood: it's tough, but you know you love your child with all your heart, and you have a relentless determination to provide all you can.
