Faunts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
have wondered about you
Where will you be
when this is through?
If all
If all goes as planned
Will you redeem
my life again?
Fire the fields the weed is sown
Water down your empty soul
Wake the sea of silent hope
Water down your empty soul
Fight your foes you're not alone
Holy war is on the phone
Asking to please stay on hold
The bleeding loss of blood runs cold
And I need you to recover
Because I can't make it on my own
And I need you to recover
Because I can't make it on my own
I
have wondered about you
Where will you be
when this is through?
If all
If all goes as planned
Will you redeem
my life again?
I
have wondered about you
Where will you be
when this is through?
If all
If all goes as planned
will you redeem
my life again?
My life again?
And I need you to recover
Because I can't make it on my own
And I need you to recover
Because I can't make it on my own
I need you to recover
Because I can't make it on my own
I need you to recover
Because I can't make it on my own
On my own
On my own
On my own...
The song "M4" by Faunts can be interpreted in various ways, but a common theme is that of longing and dependency on someone else. The first verse sets this tone with lines such as "Where will you be when this is through?" and "Will you redeem my life again?" The singer is unsure if they will have support after whatever trial or struggle they are facing. The second verse brings in more intense imagery of war, bleeding, and hopelessness. The chorus unites these themes with the repeated plea, "I need you to recover, because I can't make it on my own."
Overall, "M4" seems to be a cry for help from someone feeling helpless, possibly in a romantic relationship but it could also be a plea for help from someone else with a different relationship such as a friend, family member or even to god. It is a reminder that no matter how tough and resilient, everyone needs a helping hand at times. The lyrics are conveyed through the thick ambient textures that Faunts is notorious for, creating an atmospheric picture in the listener's mind.
