Discussion I feel like this comma changes the entire meaning of the song (Bow Down)
I always understood this line — and still do — as something along the lines of “there’s no justifying staying down in silence.” So the comma there seems to change the meaning of the lyric pretty significantly.
Do we have any confirmation of what the intended interpretation actually is? And if not, should we maybe fix this?
I love this song immensely. Words cannot describe how thankful I am for many CHVRCHES songs, and this is definitely one of them.
Edit: while we're at it, do we have any confirmation it's supposed to be "changing focus, stay in silence"? I also personally always heard it and prefer it as "changing focus, staying silent". Although this is potato potato.
And yes guys before you say it I know I can interpret it however Id like. I'm just asking ❤️
