You know what it's about? Yeah. Me neither. It's one of those songs that has a multi-meaning; something everyone can read into. You can pick and choose the parts that mean something to you. I think it was Van Morrison who did that quite a bit - wrote songs that not everyone quite understood but everyone loved, anyway. Well, I have the first part down...
Lyrics
hide all your fears and come out from beneath the ashes
guilty hearts dispose knowledge before sufficient time passes
fill with all the passion cheap wine can bring
i need to close my eyes before love makes me sing
oh your road
bring me down
show me the light
before morning comes around
bleeding in the consumption of an empty tapestry
broken compasses are our best guides to what we’ll finally be
fill with all the passion blind love can bring
i need to breathe again before love makes me sing
oh your road
bring me down
show me the light
before morning comes around
