| First Aid Kit – The Lion's Roar Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
The "Lion's Roar" and the religious interpretations in this song, my first song in the context of the song where she sings "I'm a -God damn- coward" ...... there's the verse in the Bible about Satan roaming around like a roaring lion (barks but can't bite) looking for (the coward who takes the bate) the one to devour. "Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." 1.Peter 5:8 This passage in the Bible tells on how Satan is bluffing as a "lion" that roars, but isn't able to devour. The lyric: "And I'm a goddamn coward, but then again so are you And the lion's roar, the lion's roar Has me evading and hollering for you And I never really knew what to do" Might as well sing: "And the dogs that bark, the dogs that bark" ... Religious connotations, sure. But the song thrives on mystery as well. Lion's that just roar. Beautiful though. |

| @dark_maiden, thank you for putting this into words! You are more than right, Patty Griffin is such a treasure that hasn't been fully discovered, but maybe it shouldn't be discovered so broadly, so it doesn't become commerciallized. Yet, it's a treasure only to be found by those who are looking for deeper things ..... | |
