Little light, lead us through the night
And if we die, burn down the forest
Chariots, carry us
Distances we don't care to walk
I'm on my way out
Why doesn't anyone I know sleep?
Are they all just scared of their dreams?
When they lay their heads down at night
What are they haunted by?
Why won't anyone just close their eyes?
Could it hurt them to rest for a while?
Do they need their friends to be a lover?
Or a lover to be a friend?
Because I'm on my way out
Well, I've tried
God knows that I've tried
I'm on my way out
One time, two times
Three times again
Sitting duck, running out of luck
Our car's stuck on the train crossing
How am I ever gonna know peace?
How will I ever see your light through the trees?
I want to burn down everything we've begun
I want to kill and eat my young
Because I'm on my way out
Well, I've tried
God knows that I've tried
I'm on my way out
One time, two time
Three time again
I'm on my way out
And if we die, burn down the forest
Chariots, carry us
Distances we don't care to walk
I'm on my way out
Why doesn't anyone I know sleep?
Are they all just scared of their dreams?
When they lay their heads down at night
What are they haunted by?
Why won't anyone just close their eyes?
Could it hurt them to rest for a while?
Do they need their friends to be a lover?
Or a lover to be a friend?
Because I'm on my way out
Well, I've tried
God knows that I've tried
I'm on my way out
One time, two times
Three times again
Sitting duck, running out of luck
Our car's stuck on the train crossing
How am I ever gonna know peace?
How will I ever see your light through the trees?
I want to burn down everything we've begun
I want to kill and eat my young
Because I'm on my way out
Well, I've tried
God knows that I've tried
I'm on my way out
One time, two time
Three time again
I'm on my way out

I think the chariot represents a means of conveyance to heaven, and the forest humanity. The song to me is about God dying, from God's point of view. The little light is leading "us", the Holy Trinity, through the forest to their death caused by humanity or whatever. The chariot would then carry all three Gods to whatever afterlife God's have. The "I'm on my way out" part is God's voice saying he's dying or at least giving up on being God.
Why doesn't anyone I know sleep - Talks about the guilt of everyone on earth. We're all sinners right? Well at least in the eyes of Christianity, and therefore a Christian God. That guy must know a lot of people who have sleepless nights wrestling with their guilt or whatever. (I'm sleeping fine being the Godless little jerk I am strangely)
Later God says he's a sitting duck (I hear this as getting dark (the impending death), but I'm probably wrong. Either way it still doesn't change the interpretation), and running out of luck because he realizes that by giving free will to his creations, or whatever, they are allowing him to disappear, die, what have you.
How will God know peace if his creations are killing him, and how can he see the light through the trees (forest/ humanity), if they are so guilty and murderous and vile that they would let him die. He created humanity and therefore wants to burn down everything he's begun (ala Sodom and Gammora [sp.?]), kill and eat his young going back to a time before humanity could destroy him, oddly a naturalistic time (back to the forest).
I think this song pairs well with Daisy which is kind of a human's desire for God to just start things over again as well. Armageddon would be a good thing to the speaker in Daisy (If the skies opened up and started pouring rain like he knew it was time to start things over again it'd be alright...it'd be easier that way).
This album, like T.D.A.G.A.R.I.M is about Jesse or Vin and how they are wrestling with their loss of faith. It makes sense to try and understand faith from God's point of view to end the whole thing here on Daisy after it starts with Sowing Season a song that could be interpreted to be about dying or killing yourself for worldly pleasure or love or something earthbound like that. This is probably why Jesse has said they want to write a happier album/ songs next time they go at it. They've completed the cycle of the death of God and have argued the point from all sides. Even God is ready not to exist anymore the way things are going, and he's going to take us with him.

It probably doesnt explain much about the song but it kinda fits to the whole fire - light theme that runs through the whole album.
Little light, lead us through the night
and if we die, burn down the forest
Chariots, carry us
distances we don't care to walk
I'm on my way to hell
I'm on my way to hell
Why doesn't anyone I know sleep?
Are they all just scared of their dreams?
When they lay their heads down at night
What are they haunted by?
Why won't anyone just close their eyes?
Could it hurt them to rest for a while?
Do they need their friends to be a lover?
or a lover to be a friend?
because I'm on my way to hell
Well, I've tried
God knows that I've tried
I'm on my way to hell
One time, two times
Three times again
Sitting duck, running out of luck
Our car's stuck on the train crossing
How am I ever gonna know peace?
How will I ever see your light through the trees?
I want to burn down everything we've begun
I want to kill and eat my young
Because I'm on my way to hell
Well, I've tried
God knows that I've tried
I'm on my way to hell
One time, two time
Three time again
I'm on my way to hell

Now, I would not post this just to argue, I really want readers and listeners to get the right information, so I took the liberty in playing this in four different EQ's and listened to it countless times. I also firmly without listening to it, just by reading and lyrics analyizing I can see that the whole "to Hell" part fits better, because he says "I've tried, God knows that I've tried." and that just makes me feel like he isn't worthy of heaven reguardless of how hard he tries. The bible can support that too, because in theory we (us humans) aren't worthy of heaven, but Christ died, and the bible says "All have fallen short of the glory of God".
C'mon guys, isn't that overwhelming evidence it's "to Hell" and can we please close the case after two years of this albums release?
All in all I am amazed by the lyrical structure of the entire album, and certainly do hope it's not their last, and if so, what an divine way to go out.
Any comments are regards please email me at shpraine@gmail.com.
Thank-you,

I dont know why people keep on saying "i know" instead of "in noro"
but its great
"I'm on my way to hell" is definitely there. Just listen to the second half of what you think is "out" and you'll be able to hear it for most of the song. A lot of it I couldn't tell, but either one is a clear reference to feeling like you're stuck in sin.
The "guiding light" is mentioned throughout the song, leading through a forest. Or how about "chariots, carry us, distances we don't care to walk." Chariots have carried a few prophets in the bible to heaven without them dying, so it's saying that he wants to go to heaven, he just can't make it there the normal way everyone else does.
Guilt also makes it hard to sleep, as anyone who's felt deep guilt knows.
"How am I ever gonna know sleep, how will I ever see a light through the trees" is referencing the beginning of the song. How will I ever see a light through the trees is the guiding light that they always loose.
I'm on my way to hell.
But I try, God knows that I try.
I'm on my way to hell.
One time two times three times again. (He keeps sinning and he feels stuck in it.)
