Black Refuge Lyrics

if anything can be said about Junip's latest recordings... they leave A LOT of room for interpretation. I appreciate that even though it can be frustrating to have to rely solely on my own experiences to give the songs meaning.

In its most broad and general interpretation, I would say this song is about a relationship between two people. One person chooses to "take the high road" by giving excuses and maintaining innocence while the other (the voice) chooses to be more realist and cynical... recognizing that he is tired of the BS "Because I tend to forget my duty when I get to close to your resistance "... ultimately, this song is a declaration that he is done trying to look at the relationship as something hopeful... Hence the "Black Refuge"
