Discover the story of the song > Thawing Dawn – A. Savage

This song is about a person who knows the protagonist very well and asks them to take their remains and put them in a river after they die. The protagonist remembers someone they knew saying that they were free but not cheap and wonders what to say to them. The protagonist sees a man on fire and tries to put out the flames, and then reflects on the relationship between religion and faith. When summer comes, the protagonist needs their partner like a bluejay needs a tune to sing. The song also talks about the protagonist's mother dancing with ashes on her head and the feeling of being trapped or escaped when away from their partner. The protagonist drinks away their blues and starts smoking to fit in with their friends. They feel like a lonely lighthouse by the sea, and the song ends with a reflection on the mix of a thawing dawn with regret.
