You go west
Where they won't find you
With your mother's breast
And the poison arrows
'Cause you see black
And I see shadows
I am the lamb
And I'm a dead man
They'll take my name
And feed my children
With my remains
In the holy temple
'Cause I am the lamb
And I'm a dead man
I am the lamb
And I'm a dead man
The Lamb is written by George Alan Sparhawk, Zak Micheletti, Mimi J Parker. ✔️

What is the meaning behind The Lamb lyrics?
When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, Low's song 'The Lamb' employs the metaphors 'I am the lamb' and 'I'm a dead man' to express human fragility and the experience of death. The lyrics show how people dedicate their lives to something greater than themselves while they accept their ultimate fate to die. The lamb lyrics mostly emphasizes despair, angst, solitude, reflection and heartbreak. The song demonstrates that people need to make sacrifices while they face their own mortality and their need to be alone and their desire to escape. The lyrics contain themes of death and violence, which may not be suitable for children under 13. The repeated references to being a 'dead man' and the imagery of 'poison arrows' and 'remains' suggest darker themes that warrant parental guidance. ✔️
