Song Meaning of “Knot – Remastered” by Elder
“Knot” speaks to the depths of our desire for connection and the complexity of longing. The lyrics convey a sense of awe and adoration at the intensity of our yearning, while noting that it can be difficult to untangle ourselves when we become bound up in our longings. Musically, the song ebbs and flows, capturing the movement between pain and hope, struggle and longing.
The chorus speaks to the cycles of wanting and needing, as we strive for a deeper connection in our lives. Though we try to reach out and make connection, we feel stuck in a “knot,” with no clear resolution to our search. These powerful feelings come as a kind of miracle, bringing a sense of awe and wonder to our experience of life.
The song ultimately speaks of a different kind of connection, one that comes from within rather than from without. We can find freedom in the understanding that our connection to our own inner truth will ultimately set us free. With each step, we can learn to be still and unravel the knots of our longing to find peace and connection in our lives.
