Okay, these lyrics are probably entirely wrong, hence only putting them in a comment, but this is how I interpreted the song:
You keepin' on a holdin'
Holdin' on a-keepin'
No givin' into takin' more
But still, still feedin'
Completely disturbed
All you want is allegiance
Hear them what you saw
You hear them what you saw
You hear them what you saw
You hit 'em with believin'
Holy, holy water washin' over the soul
Collectin' all the people you love
To sing you a song
Even if they stick to hummin'
Hold 'em on the soul, deceive 'em
When you're really sick-a sick-a sick of love
Leave 'em with a heart
To shape 'em within
Even if they stay to runnin'
Hold 'em on the soul, believin'
'Til you wanna stick-a stick-a stick to love
When you went down, the men came callin'
Change into stone as you wept from fallin'
When you went down, the men went fallin'
Speakin' in tongues, we've all been summoned
Why you wait to put 'em on show
You hate the thought, you're so-so
You seem so dull, you cry
I hope that I'm ready, honey
I got all the skills you gave me
And all the love, love for you
Everything you taught me, honey
It never even mattered, really
It's all about my love for you
With you in my head
With you in my head
With you in my head
When you're in town, the men went callin'
Faded in stone as you wept from fallin'
Freedom went down when the men went callin'
Singin' in tongues, it makes men summoned
I hope that I'm ready, honey
I got all the skills you gave me
And all that I ever loved was you
Everything you taught me, honey
It never even mattered, really
It's all about my love for you
I hope that I'm ready, honey
I got all the skills you gave me
And all that I ever loved was you
Everything you taught me, honey
It never even mattered, really
It's all about my love for you
I think it actually suits Jasper's feelings toward Maria since he used to think he was in love with her and was kind of under her spell so to speak. Maria was completely self-involved and was only using Jasper and other men for her needs. Now he's using the "skills" she taught him to fight the newborns so she's still "in his head" even though he loves Alice now. I dunno, I'm probably way off base.
