Cover art for Workhorse lyrics by My Brightest Diamond

The lyrics in this song make me think of slavery, as she talks about a 'dark workhorse', who fell by the side of the road, presumably of exhaustion, and then she goes on to talk about how they've lost all their youthfulness, and therefore usefulness - a slave too old to work? Useless! However the analogy could be considered fabricated as the lyrics could literally be referring to a workhorse, who you can kinda consider slaves anyway ;D Great song, love the moody atmosphere and as usual, stunning vocals.
