The song is very easy to interpret. The woman Mary is someone of great importance and how she refers to her through the song would suggest that Mary is either her mother or her grandma. If you were to dedicate this to someone though, it would be easy to come up with your own interpretation.
What makes this song great is the emotions you feel for the author. Specifically “we overcome the sirens” which alludes to an ambulance coming to save someone, and then it very quickly gives you the end result by saying “I know someday I’ll see you soon but now your out of sight”. Which causes the emotion of fear, devastation and sadness to all merge without a break to process those emotions. I also love how the author put in short sentences to include memories significant to her to describe her loved one and reference it into being her story book.
