Entwine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Old enough he is to bear the weight
He's lying bruised and left to die by the sons of his own
The storm is leading him into the dark
Dark is the light inside your fearful mind
Your fearful mind
Plead...plead for your life, there is no other way
A drop of tear falls from his eyes
The bitter scars reveal the pain of a man
Blinded by the dark, he crawls along
Along the muddy road
The storm is leading him into the dark
Dark is the light inside your fearful mind
Your fearful mind
Plead...plead for your life, there is no other way
No other way
Only but pain is left to feel
Feel
Only but pain
Only but pain is left to feel
Feel, feel
There he is crying 'till the end
Dark is the light inside your fearful mind
Your fearful mind
Plead...plead for your life, there is no other way
No other way

There is a sense of desperation in the lyrics as the man pleads for his life, knowing that there is no other way out.

The dark is the light inside his fearful mind, as he finds himself consumed by his own thoughts and fears. The drop of tear that falls from his eyes and the bitter scars that reveal the pain of the man serve to further emphasize the themes of sadness and despair.
