Discover the story of the song > Bandage For Promise – 36 Crazyfists

The lyrics describe a person who feels like they are constantly surrounded by darkness and trouble. They compare this darkness to lightning in a bottle that sets everything on fire. The person hears a voice whispering to them and sees shining eyes from the trees. They feel like they have become a wolf in exchange for sleep, and they feel damaged because of it. The person understands what it's like to lose everything and wants to be rained on, maybe to feel refreshed. They feel that the brightest lights and darkest shadows have decorated the hearts of those who stayed close to them, and the person's promise to help others hurts the most. Despite all the pain, the person still wants to learn from their mistakes and find beauty in the chaos.
