    I remember the first time I really **heard** this song while listening to it, I was on the verge of tears for the vast majority of it, the line, "Little girl don't let the sell you any armor, all your ribs are still your own," making me finally break down in tears. I'd been dealing with some repressed trauma, having realized that someone had assaulted me and I unfortunately hadn't quite realized when it occurred that that was what had happened. So it's three years after it happened, and suddenly I **realize.** And I felt lost, broken, like my body wasn't mine- but then I hear this, telling me exactly what I needed to hear in order to have the strength to deal with it. It was the comfort I was never given, the shelter I never had, someone that I could've safely told what happened then. Someone who would've told me, "You're still yours, you get to choose how that affected you, and you never have to feel that way again."

      OH! MY GOD, THANA! That it is beautiful. It's really good when we hear what you want to hear in a song, and it affects us so much. Finally we realize what really happened and we don't know what to do, it's horrible. I was also slow to notice the harassment and manipulation that the (older) boy who was a friend did to me. It was a long three months and long months after I ended the friendship, because I was afraid of him unconsciously, to realize the real gravity of it. I regained courage and told my family and they understood and supported me.
      If one day you feel comfortable and confident enough to tell those you know, I hope for you. I keep cheering, but it's good to reinforce it kkk (^^).

      Went through somthing similar. went years not fully understanding why certain actions made me cry or sent me into a panic attack. I made so many excuses why my ex was entitled to the things he took and why his own trauma excused him when he left. I didn't realize and contend with what actually happened until he called out of the blue years later to be friends again and I had the realization and calmly as I could told him exactly what he did to me before hanging up. Now Im with someone who never would even think of taking something from me without it being given and with that plus therapy Im finally healing.
      Its a long journey that takes years to process and even more to heal from. It will feel like you are at your lowest when you realize what happened, It will feel like you where doing fine before and now you arent, even though locking away the trauma isn't the same as healing from it. days will get better, life will get easier, and you will find new ways to heal.

    I'm almost in tears. I heard this song almost 3 years ago, and loved it. I couldn't stop thinking about it for a week, and when I went to retrieve it from my history, it was no where to be seen. It was saddening, since the song had such an impact on me. Fast forward three years, I find my new favorite song: Tongues and Teeth. Such a familiar voice with such a familiar name. I didn't realize until I dug into this channel that this song laid here. Thank you for making such inspirational and beautiful music. It's truly inspiring. I hope my band creates songs with equal if not greater passion.

    Marrow made a wife of Eve
    But no one gave up a rib for me
    And mine
    My heart did expose to the elements
    Calloused and untouched by a man's design
    Oh, my ugly organs
    How lucky we are
    Brick and mortar between my bones
    Built a kingdom fierce and fortified
    My name fading from the yellow page
    Stones are laid upon the mountainside
    Oh, my savage empire
    How lucky we are
    Never to be moved by the words of a liar
    The dark doesn't frighten me
    I chose to close my eyes; it is mine
    The night doesn't frighten me
    I chose to let it ride; it is mine
    Time has changed the metaphor
    Now, dust is not the origin of bone
    Little girl, don't let them sell you any armor
    All your ribs are still your own
    Oh, my precious child
    How lucky you are
    Handed down a shield for your tender parts
    The dark doesn't frighten me
    I chose to close my eyes; it is mine
    The night doesn't frighten me
    I chose to let it ride; it is mine
    The dark doesn't frighten me

  • @ellasedits_
    @ellasedits_ 3 ปีที่แล้ว +647

    My interpretation is this song is about Lilith, the first wife of Adam.
    She was created separately of Adam, unlike Eve, who came from Adam’s rib (hence “No one gave up a rib for me” and “Calloused and untouched by a man's design”).
    She left Paradise because she refused to be subservient to Adam (which fits with the vibe of the song, being an independent woman).
    The line “Brick and mortar between my bones/ Built a kingdom fierce and fortified” talks about her making a new life for herself after leaving Adam.
    Lilith is known in many texts as a demon of the night. This song is her talking about how despite how she’s presented, abandoned and displaced, she is still satisfied because she can be independent (hence, choosing the darkness). She is the demon of night, an outcast but her life is hers, and hers alone.
    “My name fading from the yellow page”, The yellow page is the Bible, which has gotten so old, everyone has forgotten about Lilith after Eve.
    I didn’t have enough time to look into the significance of “Stones are laid upon the mountainside”, but knowing the Crane Wives, it’s gotta be DEEP AF. Maybe it has something to do with women being stoned to death over history, be it for infidelity, speaking up, displeasing their husband or being accused of being a witch? People have forgotten women can be strong so they oppress them.
    “Time has changed the metaphor/ Now, dust is not the origin of bone” This line is super clever, Lilith was created by God, not out of rib, but DUST. Over time, after everyone forgot about Eve, people forgot that Adam’s wife was not made of her own, separate materials, but now everyone believes Adam’s wife was always and only part of him. The metaphor of creation has changed, but Lilith is here to remind us she is still her own.
    The second part is Lilith talking to a girl, born thousands of years after her time. She is telling her that she’s lucky that she lives in an age where she can be strong and hold her own power (hence the shield that has been handed down through the struggle of other women, the little girl does not have to let men give her “a rib”, or power, she has it with her already). Lilith sees her struggle as worthy because other women have learned to not “buy the armor” others are selling them, because they can exist on their own. Their “ribs”, or existence, belong to them and then alone.

      This is super interesting to read, I’m not religious but religion has always seemed very interesting.
      For the line “like stones laid upon a mountainside” I saw it as Lilith possibly being forgotten, but never able to get completely forgotten. She may have been forgotten after Eve, but the old texts still show her and talk of her. Trying to hide a mountain.
      That’s my personal thoughts, but yours makes a lot of sense.

      This is an incredible analysis, and really interesting. I was raised Catholic and hadn’t heard Lilith’s story, so thanks for sharing it.
      I think the ‘stones laid on the mountainside’ is a reference to trail markers. For a long time when making new trails or roads, people would drop stones or make piles of them to mark the trail so that others could follow. Since Lilith is walking out on her own in this verse, it’d be her making her own path, but also ones that others can follow.
      Could be wrong, but that’s how I’m interpreting it for now. Either way, beautiful song, wonderful analysis. :)

      Interesting interpretation. The illustrations in this video have always resonated with me as community and healing, as well as the lyrics. The women in these drawings are almost never alone, and most of the ones who are alone stare directly at the viewer, roping you into their gaze. The skull-fox sits with the crows as equals, and is cradled tenderly by the little girl. The ram skulled women come together, and the bird joins them, another connection. The women hold themselves gently and confindently, and the lyrics like the kingdom, "me and mine" and the advice to the little girl all feel like solidarity with other women to me. It's sisterhood, motherhood, and mentorship from all angles.

    Even though I’m a guy this version of Lilith is my favorite as someone who’s been in abusive relationships with parents and friends who control you like Adam wanted to control Lilith, I relate to her on so many levels, especially the chorus and the part “handed down a shield for your tender parts” because if it wasn’t for the hard work of the ones who fought before me so I could have the life I have I’d never have escaped the abuse of my family

    I cry almost everytime I hear this song. It fills me with hope, but also sadness for them women who came before me.
    If you saw my Lilith theory, it also makes me so mad. Lilith was the first woman, and she did not want to be lesser than Adam. She said, "I will not lie below," and he said, "I will not lie beneath you, but only on top. For you are fit only to be in the bottom position, while I am to be the superior one”. She wanted to be equal and for that her name became synonymous with a demon, an uncontrollable, evil demon.

I just finished listening to The Fool in Her Wedding Gown on digital, and I gotta say I don’t understand why your band isn’t better known. It just makes me sad that the masses can’t accept songs like this; songs that are so thought provoking. You guys rock!

    I will forever and always translate this song for myself: Stand up as an independent woman and never throw your entire existence to a man. I’ve come back to it so many times over the years as my strength song. “Little girl don’t let them sell you any armor, all your ribs are still your own.”

    "The night doesn't bother me, I chose to let it thrive, and it is MINE, IT IS MINE..."
    That says everything, and if you know me, and the sick sad faery tale that has been my life, you'd know it would become my anthem, but I'd rather you not know why it chills my bones in the most beautiful way, and makes me feel so deeply the feral strength that runs forever like (S)teel through my blood, the last one standing- Mimi, Mommy, Papa, Daddy- I am the sum total of you all, my ghosts in the trees, and I am finally home among you once more, my savage empire regained, and I will NEVER LEAVE this time, I won't murder you all twice, I have tasted karma and retribution and finally seen forgiveness and peace reflected in a horse's eye, the greatest gift of all you nudged me toward, taking better care of me in the afterlife than you ever did when you were living, guiding my way into a life I am finally willing to fight for...
    I had to lose so much to gain this tenuous high ground, and somehow I am starting to realize it was all worth it, maybe the cards added up after all...
    Anyway. Out of steam now.
    Yet another amazing song from an amazing band I wish I had found long ago, although it's crazy what finds you in it's own time, if you let things come, they will- the things that resonate will somehow find their way to you, when the time is most right for them...
    I have to trust that much.
    I think I am starting to...
    Thank you for this song, and all the others.
    (Riding the high- today, the crash.
    Maybe the cards don't add up after all, maybe nothing does, or I was simply never meant to be here... Manic depression is a hell of a ride, I'll give it that much...)

    • @jeffreysmyk1718
      @jeffreysmyk1718 4 ปีที่แล้ว +28

      A friend and I went on some investigations and I figured I'd put it here for funsies but we think it could be Lilith reflecting on Eve
      Marrow made a wife of Eve
      But no one gave up a rib for me
      - The bone marrow made Eve but Lilith was never given that
      My heart did expose to the elements
      Calloused and untouched by a man's design
      - Lilith lacks the "protection" granted from Adam's ribs and as such, her heart is exposed but she is not made from a "man's design"
      Oh, my ugly organs
      How lucky we are
      - a more positive look on that, her organs do not protection and are "ugly and exposed" but they are lucky to be their own person
      (The next verse kinda gets us but)
      Brick and mortar between my bones
      Built a kingdom fierce and fortified
      - Lilith uses the soil/clay she is formed from (bricks) to make a kingdom herself without Adam
      My name fading from the yellow page
      Stones are laid upon the mountainside
      - Lilith is sort of forgotten given Christian writings and she fades from old, yellow pages whilst making her "kingdom"
      Oh, my savage empire
      How lucky we are
      Never to be moved by the words of a liar
      - Her "savage" and demonic empire is lucky because they are immune to the lies from man about how they should serve him
      The dark doesn't frighten me
      I chose to close my eyes; it is mine
      The night doesn't frighten me
      I chose to let it ride; it is mine
      - Lilith welcomed the darkness as she left God and Adam's grace's, making her own "dark" kingdom and she lets the darkness and night exist alongside her
      Time has changed the metaphor
      Now, dust is not the origin of bone
      - Time has given women more power, they take power from themselves not men and don't give credit to God or men for making them
      Little girl, don't let them sell you any armor
      All your ribs are still your own
      - Speaking to the women of today, they should not trust men to protect them and shouldn't give them credit, they are their own women
      Oh, my precious child
      How lucky you are
      Handed down a shield for your tender parts
      - also to women today, they are in a position where they are more respected and do not have to love through the days of terrible oppression, though more is to be done
