The Mountain Goats – Up the Wolves Lyrics 8 years ago
This is a Christian Song with much Christian symbolism.

This Song is about the Pedophiles that invaded/infiltrated/destroyed the Catholic Church.

Victims feel shame, later recover, eventually forgive and then victims go after the individuals who made the cycle possible, to prevent further destruction of children.

Closet = self loathing/ shame

Mother = Virgin Mary

Float = forgive/letting go

Rome = Vatican/Catholic Church

Take Years/ Damage = going after pedophile ring and cover-up with a wrecking ball

Mother has been absent/ Rome = Centralized Church/ Control

The wolf = the second coming.
