I've run to ground
I've run from everyone that I have ever known
I'm aching cold
I'm aching from the bones the very blood of me
[the drum beat picks up through the first chorus like a heartbeat, it would make sense that "it" refers to a heart...]
"And it's broke before you know it
Before you knew what it was for
All you know is you can't fix it"
And you wish you'd listened more
To your instincts to your family
To the wisdom you'd ignored
Are you finally gonna ask us for help?
[It seems almost as if the song is narrated from a split perspective, verses being one person
and the chorus being the person or people reaching out to them]
I've crashed to earth
But I'd fallen for so long that it was just relief
I saw your face
In everyone that looked me in my drunken eyes
[what a wonderful few lines...]
I feel like it's about someone who has gone astray or down the right path and is trying to find a way to get back to their old life. In the verses you have them narrating, and in the chorus their friends and family calling them back home.
Anyways I have had this song on repeat constantly... beautiful songwriting and lyrics.
:B
