Sons and Daughters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know many have tried
Not a blind man among you
For years let fate decide
So swallowed and followed and played through start to end
With the good weight all carried by your faithful friend
She wrote you a song and you bought a wedding dress
Have insured people met
Then sundry and nocturnal
You lay your peace to sleep
With your new loves good fortunes
And secrets safe to keep
[Chorus]
What will await you
Can tether no more
What's shrunken withers
In the path to your door
What will await you
Can tether no more
What's shrunken withers
In the path to your door
The lyrics of the Sons and Daughters song "Johnny Cash" speak of a person's journey towards finding love and their willingness to take risks in order to do so. The song begins with the person embarking on a search for love, acknowledging that many others have attempted the same endeavor. The person is not blindly optimistic but rather aware of the challenges that come with the journey. Despite this, they continue to follow fate, allowing it to guide them towards the right person.
The lyrics go on to describe how the person finds love, with the help of a friend who carries the "good weight" of the relationship. The person's partner writes them a song and they buy a wedding dress, indicating their commitment to each other. The lyrics then describe the intimate moments between the couple, where they lay their peace to sleep and keep their secrets safe.
The chorus of the song speaks of the uncertainty that lies ahead, but also the freedom that comes with letting go of fears and doubts. The person is no longer tethered by their fears and is free to embrace whatever lies ahead. The withering of what was once important in the path to their door signifies that the person has moved on from their past and is ready for a new chapter in their life.
