Jaws of Life
Embracing Redemption: Unraveling the Depths in Wintersleep's 'Jaws of Life'
Lyrics
Hold me like a child
Seek comfort and protection, resembling the care given to a child.
In your warm, warm arms
Embrace me in the warmth of your arms.
Whisper parables
Speak in allegories or stories that convey moral or spiritual lessons.
Keep me safe from harm
Provide a shield, keeping me away from danger or distress.
Oh my sagging skin
Reflecting on aging or vulnerability, possibly the physical effects of time.
Oh my burning skies
Allude to intense or troubling experiences represented by burning skies.
I will close my eyes
Choosing to close one's eyes, possibly to escape or find solace.
I will close my eyes
Reiteration of the decision to close one's eyes, emphasizing closure or withdrawal.
There was laughter once
Recall a time of joy and happiness, characterized by laughter and beautiful songs.
There were pretty songs
Reference to the existence of aesthetically pleasing and melodic compositions.
Pull the metal shards
Remove the remnants of pain or trauma, likened to extracting metal shards.
Thin my clotted blood
Thinning the coagulated blood, suggesting a desire for emotional healing.
Oh my rotted skin
Contemplation on the effects of decay or deterioration on the skin.
Oh my burning skies
Reiteration of challenging experiences represented by burning skies.
I will close my eyes
Choosing to shut one's eyes, possibly as a response to adversity.
I will close my eyes
Reaffirmation of the decision to close one's eyes, emphasizing resilience or withdrawal.
Oh the jaws of life (x3)
Symbolic mention of the "jaws of life," possibly signifying a force or tool for rescue.
