I Will Wait

Mumford and Sons is one of my favorite bands. Their lyrics are amazing and so much deeper than they seem, you can try to take apart their songs and make them mean so many different things. My favorite song by them right now is called "I Will Wait". I am going to attempt to analyze it to figure out its meaning. The lyrics are:
And I came home
Like a stone
And I fell heavy into your arms
These days of darkness
Which we've known
Will blow away with this new sun

And I'll kneel down
Wait for now
And I'll kneel down
Know my ground

And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you

So break my step
And relent
You forgave and I won't forget
Know what we've seen
And him with less
Now in some way
Shake the excess

But I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you

So I'll be bold
As well as strong
And use my head alongside my heart
So tame my flesh
And fix my eyes
That tethered mind free from the lies

But I'll kneel down
Wait for now
I'll kneel down
Know my ground

Raise my hands
Paint my spirit gold
And bow my head
Keep my heart slow

Cause I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you

Mumford and Son's were brought up in the church, therefore many of their songs have a lot of spiritual ties. This song, in my opinion, is very spiritual, and about Jesus Christ. We have been commanded to live this life, to endure the hardships and the trials, and to do what is right to be with him again one day, I feel that is what this song is exactly about. He has done wrong, made mistakes, and is going through hard trials, but at the end of the day, he comes home, kneels down and surrenders himself to Christ. He is talking about how he will do better in his life, he has been forgiven and wont forget and he will do his part in this life, and wait for Him. This song is truly amazing.
