Cover art for In the Wake of Pigs lyrics by Oh, Sleeper

The concept of this album is God and Satan have destroyed each other, and the world is left without any heaven or hell, no consequences or an afterlife. This song describes a man searching for a higher power, but finding nothing. But there appears that God is still out there, struggling to get through to him. But in the end, he does. The battle has been won!

Song Meaning

The man/priest has already lost his faith in God when his daughter was raped in "The Marriage of Steel and Skin", causing him to murder her rapist. His daughter (being an atheist) is discovering her faith in the tracks after "Hush Yael". So this is about the daughter beckoned to by those who still have faith.

It seems as if she is a Christian who feels alone at any sign of trouble.
