So I've only listened to this song a couple of times, but it came on when I was doing some reading, well prepping to do some reading and it really stuck out.
This song is clear and outstanding, first of all. And Lights is incredibly talented, I am grateful she is making music. She does an excellent job combining melody, a sweet tech sound, her smooth voice accents the hard/digital sounds she tends to so well and she is very transparent with her lyrics. And her writing doesn't suck. It a whole lot of awesome in a digital Canadian pixie. Secondly, and more to the point, I feel this song about her relationship with the God, there are a lot of Christian, new testament references. Pointing a lot to Christ saying he is the true vine, and those who are not connected wither and die. ("I never meant to wither" + "And watched my branches fall" + John 15:1-15). Also the recognition of something wrong and the hope that she is not forgotten because of what she has done (The Chorus) which lines with Jesus making everything new (2 Corinthians 5:17). She makes a reference to the storm finally coming (Matt 7:24-27). And finally she sings about unending tears (which is heartbreaking) (Isaiah 25:8 + Revelations 21:4).
I pray that I am wrong, because this song sounds like she is having a hard time. But given my finite-ness, only a bit of information and no perception of Lights motive/heart in writing, this is of course opinion. But it has encouraged me to pray for the broken hearted. Also, not to sound preachy, but if you are feeling broken hearted, you've had a tough relationship with God or you feel you're too dirty to come back to God...I just really want to encourage you to come home. Jesus cleans us of all sin, and he desperately wants to see you again. He remade my heart, he can do yours too. Love you guys.
@sirdevio Thank you so much. You may never read this, but I really needed to hear this. I'm going home, i've just taken a really long time to realize how far i've strayed. God bless you my friend, much love. See you on the other side.
