Doubt
Dig Hay Zoose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
shudder children to gather together
in the warmth of the firelight's glow
...and the ground grew cold
split like the skin and parched
like the hollow of a dead man's bones
such a long time
sometimes I think
You ain't never comin' back
...and then the myth was clear
the drumming of pagans still echoing
in the halls of remembrance
...and now the truth is clear
One Man is all the is clear
in the warmth of the firelight's dance
...I am the autumn wind
in the days a man must fear
and as the crooked man grows bent
I am the bitterness in his tears
for what a selfish man will sow
into this cold and barren ground
is the truth behind every lie
that's where the emptiness is found...
...d anderson
The lyrics of Dig Hay Zoose's song Doubt are quite metaphorical and poetic in nature. The song seems to be referring to a period of uncertainty and doubt, perhaps in the singer's personal life or in their relationship with a higher power. The first verse talks about the days growing cold and people seeking comfort in the warmth of firelight. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for people seeking shelter and comfort during tough times. The second verse talks about the ground growing cold and dead, likening it to a dead man's bones. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for despair and hopelessness.
The singer states that they have been waiting for someone or something for a long time, but they begin to doubt if it will ever come. The third verse alludes to the myth of paganism still existing and echoing, which could be interpreted as the singer's internal battle with doubts and skepticism. However, the fourth verse talks about the truth becoming clear and how this truth is embodied by a single Man. This could be interpreted as the singer finding hope or faith in a particular figure or belief system.
The final verse describes the singer as the autumn wind and bitterness in a crooked man's tears, implying a sense of sadness and loss. The lyrics suggest that the singer believes selfishness is the root cause of emptiness and despair, and that truth can be found by facing this reality.
