    My partner and I lived in a big old house. In 2014, my partner in his early 40's passed away tragically. This song described exactly how I felt left behind with the children, especially at night when everyone was asleep and I was 'alone'.

      We are doing ok now I think. Grief is a funny thing because it takes as long as it does. Then one day, you wake up & feel strong enough to move forward. Once we get to this point it's like two steps forward, one step back. Fortunately over time the steps back are either less often or less big .. but they are always there .. and that's ok.

    I always thought this song was about a woman who's husband has died but her mind is tricking her into thinking he's back. She sees him in her dreams, she hears his voice in his head, she thinks he's in the house with her. In the beggining she continually goes through periods where she subconsiocly realizes he's not there and her mind says "No, he can't be gone". For example, in the beginning she says "I don't like this empty house" meaning she doesn't like it because she's all alone, bu she can't figure out why she feels so unerved because she thinks her husband, or at least his ghost, is still with her. I think the whole thing about the boat carrying their bodies implies that the boat is carrying his body into an afterlife and she wants to be on the boat with him. "The screams all sound the same" is when shes starting to realize hes actually gone and the voices she hears dont sound like him anymore. About halfway through the song, she realizes what's been happening with "And your gone, gone, gone" and realizes she been in a trance the entire time. Aft r realizing hes forever gone, she wants to commit suicide when she hears his voice again. She knows it not really him, but she realizes she will always have memories of him and see him in her dreams, and she knows he wouldn't want her to take her own life, so she stops.

      That's pretty much exactly what I thought, except she knew he was dead. But she was still in shock & thought if she wished hard enough he might come back & it would only be a dream .
      I don't think her mind was playing tricks because my partner died tragically age 42 & this is exactly what it was like for me - still is sometimes.
      After people close to you die, you might seem strange to the outsider & do weird things. I was still very clear in my mind, processes & actual thinking; I was just in complete shock & grief. I guess I felt 'numb'.
      To be more accurate, I was so deep in my own thoughts I kind of forgot about everything else, including what my legs were doing at times, if that makes sense? I knew I had a body (but not literally), so for example I might not consciously realise if I hit my leg on the corner of a cupboard, or that I tripped over a toy.... It's weird I know .. and even weirder to write!!
      I hope that makes sense, at least to some.

      Dang. I thought it was about a tough breakup. I thought that “the screams sound the same” meant that they weren’t listening to each other arguing. And that the rocky relationship was causing her to become super depressed (the voices in her head). I could go into more depth with all the lyrics but I’m to lazy. I might edit later.
      I love hearing other people’s take on the song. It’s so awesome! Your ideas make much more sense.

      For me there’s a lot of hope and inspiration past the bittersweet. The bittersweet is temporary, life after death and being reunited. :) It’s a happy ending. Also an affirmation that we all have our own struggles in life, some physical challenges some face mental, others both…but no matter how our bodies vary in their strength and ability, it’ll get you through-short or long life it all has purpose is what I get from this. 🙏 live in the dash between your birth and death years. :)

      The comments are full of these comments. The reason I started to listen to this was because it wasn't happy lyrics. The melody is catchy for sure, but with different lyrics it would not be as great. I know a lot of people don't actually listen to songs, but for me the lyrics have always been a big part of songs.

    I could be wrong but I have a theory to the meaning of this song.
    A woman was recently widowed and she is having trouble to deal with it. She keeps hearing her husband's voice and believes she is indeed speaking to him. The voice is trying to comfort her, telling her that he is not forever gone. They will soon be together for an eternity, away from all danger. They will reunite, never to separate. Whereas for the video, I do not have a reasonable explanation for the entire video but I believe the monsters are an example of how the widow feels, and the travellers may be helping the widow find her peace and happiness, as shown in the ending

    The way the lyrics were explained to me, is that it's about an older married couple. The wife is struggling with Alzheimer disease. She says the house is empty because she's forgetting all the memories she has in that place. She doesn't know if she's wrong or right because the disease prevents her from remembering one way or the other. The old voice in her head is who she used to be before the disease took over. That's why the man says to tell her that he misses their little talks. The man says "Don't listen to a word I say" because although he loves his wife immensely, he's letting his frustration get the better of him and ends up yelling at her. Then a the end the wife just wants to die so she doesn't have to deal with the disease any more. They're both old though, so he'll be following soon after she passes.

      This is exactly how I hear it. There's an old couple, and she is suffering from dementia/Alzheimers. She doubts herself but has moments of clarity. Her husband has to watch all of this but stays with her. The first couple of verses are lovely; she is insecure and he reassures her. "I don't like walking around this old and empty house" ..
      "So hold my hand, I'll walk with you my dear"

      It is explained:
      Speaking with Interview Magazine, Hilmarsdóttir explained the song's meaning: "How we usually make our lyrics is, Raggi and I, sometimes we come up with stories or situations. That one is about a relationship. Sometimes we haven't wanted to give too much away. We like people to read their own things in the lyrics. I guess I could share it. It's about a couple and the husband passed away and it's from the conversation between the two of them. We don't know if she's going crazy or if someone's actually there. We've kind of been inspired by people that lived in my house. This old couple that lived there for 30 years. The woman passed away, so it was kind of different."

  • @Sturmensky
    @Sturmensky 4 ปีที่แล้ว +85

    Love seeing the different interpretations of the lyrics in the comments. The idea that one died fits strongly. And now that I've seen it? I think it fits perfectly. But my own interpretation was different. I always thought it was husband and wife struggling with the wife's depression, with their lines showing their different perspectives as he tries to help her through it.
    For example,
    W: "old and empty house" = her sense of isolation.
    H: "hold my hand, I'll walk with you my dear" = his effort to show her she isn't alone - to try and keep her moving.
    W: "The stairs creak as I sleep/It's keeping me awake" = the insomnia depression can cause.
    H: "It's the house telling you to close your eyes" = him comforting her
    W: "And some days I can't even dress myself" = the lethargy and inability to get out of bed that depression (and, yes, grief) can cause.
    H: "It's killing me to see you this way" = showing that it's not easy to deal with depression and, being on the outside, we can be at a loss for how to help.
    On and on... E.g.,
    W: "Here's an old voice in my head/That's holding me back" = lethargy, lack of energy, the sense of hopelessness
    H: "Well, tell her that I miss our little talks" = him telling her that he's still there and longs for when she felt better. An idea that works with the next stanza, which can imply that her depression developed later in life, after their relation ship started.
    In this interpretation, lines such as "Now we're torn, torn, torn apart/There's nothing we can do/Just let me go, we'll meet again soon" can be understood as the destructive effects that depression can have. The stress and strain it places on a relationship can destroy it.
    And yet, when the voices come together with "Though the truth may vary/This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore" it shows that they're sticking together and hope remains. That they will get through it. For though the road may be long, though the way they see things (depressed/not-depressed) may vary, this ship (their relationship) will see them through.

      When my daughter was 4-5 me and her danced together to this song. She was (and still is) great. I never payed any attention to the lyrics.
      In that time my wife got in a very hard and deep depression. She spend nearly 5 years in bed, almost died. She fought her way out of it and now she is the best mother ever and we are still together. Like I said I never paid any attention to the lyrics. I was a bit shocked and amazed to find out how well the lyrics fit in the situation we as a family was back then. It's like her and me speaking. She was going away and I was waiting for her and helping her. So I totally agree on your intepretations.
      The line "Here's an old voice in my head, That's holding me back" that is her sane voice in her head, her true inner voice keeping her for going totally insane. He in reply is saying:"Well, tell her that I miss our little talks" The husband saying: I know that you are not you right now, behind your mental illness is the true you. One day she will rise agian and I will wait for her. But I miss her.
      "just let me go, we'll meet again soon" means she is saying:"I am lost, I lost myself. Let me go, I'll fix this I need time, once I beat this mental illness you see my true self again and we are back together (feelings for eachother).
      On your other intepretations of the lyrics you made, you were spot on. Indeed the ship is the relation.

Many times I attempt to take my life failed each time then little by little I started to see my worth.

      Please don't get butt hurt because of people having an opinion, it's what makes this world such a terrible place so let him/her (I can't tell from that name sorry) say what they want to say.
      Anyway, electronic instruments, just because they aren't played by someone, doesn't mean it's a bad song... People can use electronic instruments to create absolute masterpieces and it still takes so much effort to make those types of songs, so don't hate on them.

      i know not much are fans of kpop but day6 and stray kids both have wonderful meanings to their songs, definitely stray kids. i mean their albums atm are "i am WHO" and "i am NOT" lol they write their own songs but they're not a band. day6 on the other hand does play instruments and most songs have really nice meaning

    MEANING OF THE SONG, READ!!So there's two point of view in the song's story, a wife and the ghost of her dead husband, still lingering inside the house (although she can't hear him cause he's just a spirit)
    Wife:I don't like walking around this old and empty house
    (because her husband is gone, the house feels cold and lonely)
    Husband:So hold my hand, I'll walk with you, my dear
    (He's telling her that she'll be with her so she don't have to be so lonely)
    Wife:The stairs creak as you sleep, it's keeping me awake
    (him being a ghost, making sounds. She can't sleep because she's being expectant of his presence)
    Husband:It's the house telling you to close your eyes
    (He's telling her that its not him (a lie), but the house telling her to sleep)
    Wife: And some days I can't even dress myself
    (In pain and incapable of doing anything cause then again, her husband is gone)
    Husband: It's killing me to see you this way
    (The husband is in pain seeing her wife being like this)
    Both: Cause though the truth may vary
    This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
    (Cause whatever comes in life, there would be a time where death comes and we shall be reunited in the afterlife)
    Wife: There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back
    (her memories with her husband)
    Husband: Well tell her that I miss our little talks
    (him just missing her company too)
    Wife: Soon it will be over and buried with our past
    (She is saying that all of this memories will eventually be buried)
    Husband: We used to play outside when we were young
    And full of life and full of love.
    (Husband at the state of nostalgia)
    Wife: Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right
    (Her life being miserable)
    Husband: Your mind is playing tricks on you, my dear
    (him saying its all just in her head)
    Wife: You're gone, gone, gone away
    I watched you disappear
    All that's left is the ghost of you.
    (Her being miserable, and can still remember the good memories which she just can't let go)
    Husband: Now we're torn, torn, torn apart,
    There's nothing we can do
    Just let me go we'll meet again soon
    (the husband telling his wife that they're now separated, and there nothing they could do about it. He is also saying to let go of him so she could move on)
    Wife: Now wait, wait, wait for me
    Please hang around
    I'll see you when I fall asleep
    DOUBLE MEANING!!
    (Her wanting his husband's ghost to stay a little longer and they should see each other in her dreams)
    or
    (Her telling him to wait for her, and they shall reunite once she dies)
    Amazing song, but tear breaking story T^T

      +Rika Suyumoto i had always that it was the husband cheating on the wife because of the stairs (also the husband denying everything). Then she says that sh had a old voice (doubt) that is keeping her awake. Then the husband says that he used to talk to her about the doubts before hand. Now comes the most controversial point: Although the truth may carry on,(PAUSE) SHIT will carry on. Now that can be another whole argument but i believe that the use the word SHIP to make it appropriate for little children singing this song. So back to my point i believe that this last sentence says that even tho they both believe that there side might be wrong (although the truth may bury this) that the world will still go on (shit will carry on) and finally (bar me safe to shore)=i hope that we will get out of this ok.

    • @thebloodhelm3811
      @thebloodhelm3811 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Morgan W but its all out of context. they way that they say ship does not make since it has a pause where it is not needed. "Although the truth may very this (pause) shit will carry on (pause) bar us safe to shore" not "although the truth may very this (pause) ship will carry our (why this pause?) bodies safe to shore. no reason for the pause, so that is why I believe that its shit not ship.

    Fun fact: throughout the video you will see large statues of “monsters,” some of them were in the actual music video. Most of them appear in this video where they did in the actual music video. Take the last one for example, where you can see the large horns and throne on it’s head.
    Edit: they may be slightly altered in design btw.
