The Crane Wives - Ribs [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Marrow made a wife of Eve
But no one gave up a rib for me and mine
My hearts did expose to the elements
Calloused and untouched by a man's design

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Oh, my ugly organs
How lucky we are
(How lucky we are)
[Verse 2]
Brick and mortar between my bones
Built a kingdom fierce and fortified
My name fading from the yellow page
Stones are laid upon the mountainside

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Oh, my savage empire
How lucky we are
(How lucky we are)
Never to be moved by the words of a liar

[Chorus]
The dark doesn't frighten me
I chose to close my eyes
It is mine, it is mine
The night doesn't frighten me
I chose to let it thrive
It is mine, it is mine

[Verse 3]
Time has changed the metaphor
Now, dust is not the origin of bone
Little girl, don't let them sell you any armor
All your ribs are still your own

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Oh, my precious child
How lucky you are
(How lucky you are)
Handed down a shield for your tender parts

[Chorus]
The dark doesn't frighten me
I chose to close my eyes
It is mine, it is mine
The night doesn't frighten me
I chose to let it thrive
It is mine, it is mine

The dark doesn't frighten me
I chose to close my eyes
It is mine, it is mine
The night doesn't frighten me
I chose to close my eyes
It is mine, it is mine
