Cover art for Bermuda Highway lyrics by My Morning Jacket

That 'meek guy' he's referring to is Jesus, and the singer is wondering if all the listless wandering and general directionlessness described at the beginning of the song is in fact what Jesus died for.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not pushing this as a christian type song. I think the opposite actually, like, what are all these people doing, their actions seem so silly, and yet here I am, waking up in a basement.

I don't know, I haven't fully flushed out this one and there're a lot of mysterious lines. It's a beautiful song regardless. Christopher Denny does a wonderful cover.
