Lyric discussion by joshuaCollier 

i get kinda of a Christianity feel when i listen to the song.. I love the song! kinda second guessing my beliefs.. all the more reason to love it.. (ill try keep it simple)

like the beginning he say "Lover of things" so kinda addresses who this song is to there.

then "Father of three" - the father, the son and the holy spirit.

"With hell on your face, dirt on the walls in the back of the place, you grew and complained." - to keep it simple human sins.

"Father of three, won't you believe, that the ones in between, the ones that are blamed. Of fickle faith, cynics that seethe, how their children are cursed, cursed to believe." - this to me is referring to us and every other generation after the death and before the resurrection of christ. how we are all kinda the ones in between to believe off the storys of are past. kinda how we are cursed and the ones who were there were so much more lucky to see christ at work. then the ones who whitness the rapture and have there chance to change before it is hell..

you can kinda put the rest of the verses together after that..

where had you gone? where had you been?

Only once, I'll call off the dogs, if you call off your guard.

  • asking for his return. dogs(demons, sin, etc) guard (gods absence in the body)

Yeah, the father of three part definitely had me thinking of God. The marrow without bone could be representative of trying to believe in God without any firm evidence as we are that middle child after the death but before the return.
