Widow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dublin Crow, Dublin crow
Tell me everything you know
Show me all the life I've seen through your eyes
Take my soul, take my soul
Higher than you've every flown
Drop me right into the water from the sky
When I submerge up from the ocean covered in that muddy kelp
If I'm drowning please don't save me
'Cause I got to save myself
Fly back home to tell the others
That I always needed help until today yea
And I'll finally find my way
English crow, English crow
Does the sunlight ever show?
There's been rain for 40 days inside my heart
Bitter cold, bitter cold
I just want the world to know
That I lost the finish line right from the start
Can you sing off my hangover?
Can you break away this crust?
For I am the weakest scarecrow in a field that's made of dust
For I promise if you help me to my feet
To board the bus I'll leave today yea
And I'll finally find my way
Scottish crow, Scottish crow
Does this tattoo really show
That my bloodline has been your line all along?
And just when you think you know yourself
That's when you will outgrow.
And you'll settle in that tree where you belong.
Did I ever really know, God?
Was it just a lie or truth?
Was I raised to think
That I would never ever lose my youth?
Well I thought that guns were made
For killing pretty things like you
I've got to say yea
That I've finally found my way.
The lyrics of the song "Crows" by Widow's Song can be interpreted in various ways, but one way to understand them is through the lens of self-discovery and empowerment. The song is addressed to crows from different regions such as Dublin, England, and Scotland. Each of them is asked a different set of questions related to the singer's inner turmoil and struggles.
The singer seems to be in search of guidance and knowledge from the crows, who are often associated with wisdom and insight in many cultures. The Dublin crow is asked to show the singer all the life they have seen through their eyes and to take them higher than they have ever flown. This portrays the desire to see the world in a different light and to experience something beyond the mundane.
The English crow is addressed with the question of whether the sunlight ever shows, which can be interpreted as a metaphorical representation of hope and happiness. The singer seems to have been struggling with mental health issues as they describe their heart being covered in rain for 40 days.
The Scottish crow is asked about the symbolism of a tattoo that represents the singer's bloodline. The metaphor of outgrowing oneself is used to describe the process of self-discovery, where one might have to distance themselves from their previous self to find their true identity.
The lyrics also suggest the theme of self-reliance as the singer states that they've always needed help until today. The singer seems to be on a journey of personal growth and realization as they finally claim to have found their way.
