be beside that person), put me beside you and never leave me. and that person, even if you did't think it was possible, he/she cheered you up and helped you on your tough moments.Īnd then you ask him/her 'cast me gently into morning' which means you want to get out of those dark times and live happy, and 'take me to a place so holy, that I can wash this from my mind, memory of choosing not to fight.' which for me means that you ask that person. those are the dark times (the night has been unkind).īut then you realize how much that person means to you and you feel like he/she's the one you love and the one that understands you completley and will always be there for you.

I believe that 'the memory of choosing not to fight' it's about those times when you feel that everything is lost and not even the person you love can cheer you up or do something for you.

take me to a place so holy that I can wash this from my mind, the memory of choosing not to fight" Was it some reference to initially wanting to give up and then deciding not to and being ashamed of thinking of "not fighting" for the relationship? Any ideas? Reason: The only part I have trouble really figuring out in this song is the line before the final repetition of the chorus ". take me to a place so holy that I can wash this from my mind, the memory of choosing not to fight" Was it some reference to initially wanting to give up and then deciding not to and being ashamed of thinking of "not fighting" for the relationship? Any ideas? It stated how I feel about marriage, that you have to be there for you partner through it all and fight instead of just giving up when things aren't going perfect. I played this as a sort of dedication to my husband as our last song of the night at our wedding. That even when times are tough between the two of you, that you won't 'break or bend' and give up, because once you get through it, you know you will be stronger than ever before ( It will all be worth it, worth it in the end). Being their strength when they are weak and giving them hope. This song to me definitely is about being there for someone you love and care about through even the toughest of times.
