The Mother Road
Journey Through Pain: Unveiling Chelsea Wolfe's Mother Road
Lyrics
I took the mother road
I embarked on a journey, possibly metaphorical, symbolized as the "mother road."
Down to goddess flesh
I traveled to a sacred and divine place, described as "goddess flesh."
I swallowed the key
I metaphorically consumed knowledge or experience represented by the "key."
I want to learn to swallow my pain
Expressing a desire to learn how to cope with or endure emotional pain.
Hallowed the fruit, hallowed thy name
Consecrating something important, possibly the act of enduring pain.
Guess I needed something to break me
Feeling a need for a significant event or experience to disrupt the routine.
Guess I needed something to shake me up
Expressing a need for a transformative or awakening experience.
Guess I needed someone to break me
Desiring someone to challenge or confront the speaker.
Guess I needed someone to shake me out
Seeking someone to bring about a transformative change in the speaker.
Afraid to live, afraid to die
Feeling fear both of living and dying, reflecting inner turmoil.
Building a broken but precious web
Creating a fragile yet valuable connection, possibly representing life.
Like a spider in Chernobyl
Using the metaphor of a spider in a radioactive environment, suggesting a precarious existence.
And when the cattle low, something is on the horizon
When there is disturbance (cattle lowing), change or trouble is imminent.
I do not have a child
The speaker doesn't have a child but has experienced enough to understand pain.
But I'm old enough to know some pain
Despite not having a child, the speaker is mature enough to comprehend suffering.
And I'm hell bent on loving you
Expressing a strong determination to love intensely, despite challenges.
Women know what it is to endure
Acknowledging the resilience and endurance of women in the face of hardship.
Guess I needed something to break me
Reiterating the need for a significant event to disrupt the status quo.
Guess I needed something to shake me up
Expressing a need for something impactful to shake up the speaker's life.
Guess I needed someone to break me
Desiring someone to break the speaker, possibly leading to growth or transformation.
Guess I needed someone to shake me out
Seeking someone to provoke a transformative change in the speaker.
It was you
Identifying the catalyst for the speaker's transformation.
It was you
Repeating the acknowledgment of the catalyst for transformation.
Bloom and eclipse them, wake up and transform
Encouraging growth and transformation, breaking free from constraints.
Bloom and eclipse them, wake up and transform
Repeated emphasis on blossoming and eclipsing, signifying a profound change.
Bloom and eclipse them, wake up and transform
Continuing the theme of awakening and transformation.
Bloom and eclipse them, wake up and transform
Further underscoring the importance of breaking free and transforming.
Bloom and eclipse them, wake up and transform
Reiterating the call for growth and transformation.
Bloom and eclipse them, wake up and transform
Continuing to emphasize the need for awakening and change.
Bloom and eclipse them, wake up and transform
Further underscoring the desire for a transformative experience.
Bloom and eclipse them, wake up and transform
Continuing the theme of breaking free and undergoing a profound transformation.
Guess I needed something to break me
Closing the song with a repetition of the desire for a transformative experience.
