Mumford & Sons – Little Lion Man Lyrics 14 years ago
I think its very easy to assume that this song is about the guy making a mess of things. But you need to notice that the singer is talking to the guy. Im lead to believe that this man was in an abusive relationship where he would constantly ignore that fact that he is being mistreated.
"you know that you have seen this all before"
as if the same problems keep reoccuring
he was so brave and bold at the beggining but now he is ruined
his grace is wasted and he stands ALONE among the wreck
as though he was more loyal or passionate about the relationship
and yet, through all of his problems and being mistreated
He still turns to her and says its his fault, "I really fucked it up this time, didnt I my dear?"
which is him apologizing again for something that isnt his fault
hes no longer brave
It sounds too sarcastic by asking "didnt I?"
obviously everyone has their own opinions and no one is really right
just a take on the song to consider
