Maiden Mother Crone
Kellianna Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sing for the girl
Dressed in white
Sing for the song
Sing for the light inside her
Promise and hope
When you do find that Sunrise
Is creeping through dawn
Then you will know the Maiden
Sing for the Song

Woman in red full of life
Future is born
Nurturing, caring, fertile
Loving us all
When you do find that Sunlight
Is feeding your soul
Then you will know the Mother
Sing for the Love

Woman in black so travelled
Wisdom and bones
Weary with age and knowledge
Lifetimes she′s known
When you do find in Moonlight
All mysteries solved




Then you will know the Wise One
Sing for the Crone

The Sunrise creeping through dawn refers to the girl's transition into womanhood, when she becomes the Maiden. The Maiden is associated with new beginnings, fresh starts, and emerging sexuality.


The second verse talks about the Woman in red, full of life, who represents the mother. She is nurturing, caring and fertile, and her role is to give birth and raise children. The Sunlight feeding her soul refers to her maternal instincts, her love for her children and her desire to protect them. The Mother is associated with growth, abundance, and nurturing.


The final verse refers to the Woman in black, the Crone, who is symbolically associated with old age and death. She has wisdom and knowledge gained through a lifetime of experience, which she uses to guide others. The Moonlight represents the mysteries of life that she has uncovered over the years.
