White Blank Page Lyrics
Can you lie next to her
And give her your heart, your heart As well as your body And can you lie next to her And confess your love, your love As well as your folly And can you kneel before the king And say I知 clean, I知 clean Chorus: But tell me now, where was my fault In loving you with all my heart Oh tell me now, where was my fault In loving you with all my heart A white blank page and a swelling rage, rage You did not think when you sent me to the grave, the grave You desired my attention but denied my affections, my affections Chorus Lead me to the truth and I will follow you with my whole lie Lead me to the truth and I will follow you with my whole lie |

I'm sure what it's about but I could venture a guess. I thought that perhaps it was of a person who was willing to dedicate him/her self to a person that they loved but the latter did not share the same intentions. Maybe the other person only wanted a short-term relationship and hence broke the 'singer's' (or the persona in the song) heart.
I don't know, but I that's what I thought, not much depth but hey. The song is fantastic.

I might just think that though because something similar had just happenned to me the first time I heard this song. Several Mumford and Sons lyrics are creepily reflective of the goings on in my own life.

I think it's a sign of a fantastic song writer when they can make you think of moments in your own life when listening to their music.

Dont worry...i heard this song and checked my closet just to see if Marcus Mumford was hiding in there with a pen and notepad.
But yeah as Kane92 said it shows a good song if it relates to you somehow

It seems like a Christian is having a hard time with the whole no sex before marriage thing, the other comments make sense if the king line wasn't in the song.
Just an idea.

The girlfriend confides in him about how he treats her and/ or flirts with him so he thinks that she feels the same about him. He eventually comes on to her and she rejects him and and she denies that she ever gave him any signals, and basically blames him and makes him feel bad about coming on to her while she is in a relationship. Hence
"You desired my attention but denied my affections, my affections"
Not exactly sure what "Lead me to the truth and I will follow you with my whole lie" means. i think it might mean that he wants her to be honest with him, and possibly herself, and not lead him on or make her mind up what she wants, because he still has a thing for her evan though she seems like an evil bitch!!
and
"But tell me now, where was my fault In loving you with all my heart"
And the line "A white blank page and a swelling rage, rage" is either the singer wanting tp write her a letter about how he feels or this song bassically explaining how he feels.

Given the amount of biblical reference on this album, it feels safe to guess something like this as a possible allusion. Maybe it's there to add the potent depth of cruel rejection and endless faithfulness, in a song that's actually about a human relationship.

But yes i definitely agree with you on that one

You did not think when you sent me to the BRINK, the BRINK

"in loving you with my WHOLE HEART" (not "all my heart")

i was about to get all over that.
I mean how you could you possibly think it was grave.
If "page" rhymes with "rage",
then its safe to assume that "think" rhymes with "brink" NOT grave...

This is the song you would write when you realise the other person in a relationship doesn't actually care about you that much, and is moving on to someone they will take seriously.
"But tell me now, where was my fault
In loving you with all my heart"
Perfectly sums up the feelings of humiliation and confusion you experience when this happens to you. I say "when" not "if", since I think this particular experience happens to everyone sooner or later!
But in a way it's a very optimistic song. Although the singer has been cheated and left, they have retained their integrity.
I particularly like the line "Lead me to the truth and I will follow you with my whole lie;"
(actually, I think that's meant to be "life") because it's saying that you were the one with noble intentions and feelings. It's saying you would commit your all for an honest lover.

I've always thought that this song is about unrequited love :) To me it's about a woman who's dating someone who's unfaithful hence the entire first verse "Can you lie next to her/And give her your heart/ As well as your body" etc...and the line "can you kneel before the King/And say I'm clean" is basically the singer asking if the boyfriend can really sink so low as to deny before the eyes of God that he's being unfaithful.
"But tell me now, where was my fault/In loving you with my whole heart" is about how the best friend loves her, and he doesn't understand why there'd be anything wrong with that.
"A white blank page and a swelling rage/You did not think when you sent me to the brink/You desrired my attention but denied my affections" Ok, I know that I could be really wrong here, but to me this line is refering to a suicide note...this woman has led him on to the point where he can't take it anymore because he loves her so much and she's just toying with his emotions...so he's decided to take his own life, hence the "You did not think when you sent me to the brink" part...and "A white blank page and a swelling rage" could be him wanting to write a suicide note, but he's unable to express his emotions in words...so rather than the page being filled with some sort of explanation...it's blank and all he's feeling is unexplainable rage...
"Lead me to the truth and I/Will follow you with my whole life" is pretty much suggesting that he wants to be with this woman, so long as she's honest with him. He's willing to give himself entirely to her, if she's willing to stop leading him on.
That's my take...I know I could be dead wrong...but everyone has their own take I guess :P

The first verse is explaining the sacrifices he has made for her but she has sned him "to the brink" though someone has wrongly put "grave" instad. Yeah and the chorus and the outro go along with it as well.

The man loves his friend: "But tell me now, where was my fault In loving you with my whole heart"
but the the friend just wants to stay friends: "You desired my attention but denied my affections, my affections"
Well, that's how i listen to it anyway. I think all interpretations are valid. Oh and i love mumford & sons :) hooked on them at the moment.

"king" = god
"and say i'm clean" = grace
"sent me to the grave" = crucifixion
"tell me now where was my fault in loving you with my whole heart" = Matthew 27:46 "eli, eli lema sabachthani" (my god my god why have you forsaken me?)
- jesus, jesus, jesus
lead me to the Truth and i will follow you with my whole life. that i will

And give her your heart, your heart
As well as your body
And can you lie next to her
And confess your love, your love
As well as your folly
And can you kneel before the king
And say I'm clean, I'm clean
Chorus:
But tell me now, where was my fault
In loving you with my whole heart
Oh tell me now, where was my fault
In loving you with my whole heart
A white blank page and a swelling rage, rage
You did not think when you sent me to the brink, the brink
You desired my attention but denied my affections, my affections
Chorus
Lead me to the truth and I will follow you with my whole life
Lead me to the truth and I will follow you with my whole life
