Lyrics · artist-supplied

They took the long way out  
To carry us, To carry us  
They took the long way out  
To carry us, To carry us

They need to speak in terms we can feel  
To carry us, To carry us

The words to end all our fears  
To carry us, To carry us

A shadow falls when it comes around  
To carry us, To carry us  
They’re the ones who let it out  
To carry us, To carry us

The effigy that roams around my head  
Made a point of damaging the easy route  
I can never see the enemy again  
Knowing that they’re the ones who let it out

They’re the ones who let it out (They’re the ones who let it out)  
They’re the ones who let it out

Working interpretation · analysis

> **Interpretation note:** This is analysis of the supplied lyrics, not an authoritative statement of authorial intent.

“To carry us” links rescue to both a journey and words that might ease fear. But “they’re the ones who let it out” complicates the image of rescuers: the unnamed “they” may also be implicated in the threat. The effigy and damaged easy route leave the enemy difficult to identify. This remains a working reading; the lyrics do not settle who the figures are or what the artist intended.

Themes

dependence, salvation, agency, connection
