Discover the story of the song > The Well – Esben and the Witch

The protagonist is in their safe place, a chapel, but they feel forgotten and at the bottom of a well. They look out the window and see rain pouring down, wondering if it can cleanse and redeem them. They realize that when they are desperate and empty, they can dig their way out and find a circle of light above. They then talk about how misunderstood demons can actually be helpful in killing flies. The overall theme seems to be about the protagonist's struggle with feeling forgotten and finding redemption and help in unexpected places.
