Entombed Lyrics

"Entombed", safe and sound, placed inside a mother's womb. The arrival there is about birth. While you're a fetus all you see is "shades of colors". The mother is always by the son's side, since the day he arrive.

I totally agree with you. The line that got me was...

"From the day you arrived, I became your device, to NAME and SOOTH." A mother will name her child and sooth them as well.

This is interesting. Only thing that doesn't really make sense is the sequencing and flow of the lyrics. The speaker has "remained by (his/her) side," since "the day (he/she) arrived," so it doesn't make sense that the mother would have "arrived." I see it more of a relationship/deep love for someone that has "entombed" the speaker.

@guering I kind of thought that too. I always said this would be my mother/son song at my sons wedding. ♥️
