I forgive myself that I have allowed myself to define love as God (

We did not see the serpents moving
Underneath our feet
As they laid down eggs in our wound
The promised land starts now

Demur
Privilegivm
The tree of life is burning
Climb up and catch the serpents flame
A new Bethlehem covered in filth
We will be one with them

Demur

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Harvest" by Secrets of the Moon reflect an internal struggle with religious beliefs and a desire to reconnect with nature. The repetition of "I forgive myself" suggests that the singer is grappling with past attitudes they once held as truths. By forgiving themselves, they acknowledge and distance themselves from the idea of God, love, prayer, and hope being the only things worth defining their existence. The singer also recognizes the separation they have created between themselves, Earth, and creation. The concept of forgiveness is turned inward to reject the narrow interpretations of religion and embrace the freedom of exploring new ideas.
