Summary of Song: A description of her journey and movement from background to foreground on the stage and what it took for her to get there.
[in backgrounds and landscapes with the languages of saints] Certain lyrics seem to describe this artists previous experience in the background. If I'm correct she did a lot of work in groups of people but didn't do much solo work.
[While Jesus is saving, I'm spending all my days/grace] Perhaps this is a reference to how much work she had to put into marketing herself for this adventure. I think the spending all my grace line is in reference to how much of a toll she may feel her friend s and family take on so that she can create an album and find her own sound.
[Come my love the stage is waiting/on rosy-red pallor of lights on center stage/etc.] Perhaps anticipation of getting to share her music and thoughts with other people? It sounds to me like she's looking forward to it and she hopes it goes well (which it is).
That would just be my take on it. I might be completely wrong.
I love this song and this entire album. I got to see her perform live as an opening act for Arcade Fire when they played Vancouver's Deer Lake Park in May! She rocks!
This is what this song means to me...
