LYRICS:
I should have known better
To see what I could see
My black shroud
Holding down my feelings
A pillar for my enemies
I should have wrote a letter
And grieve what I happen to grieve
My black shroud
I never trust my feelings
I waited for the remedy
When I was three, three maybe four
She left us at that video store
Be my rest, be my fantasy
Iâm light as a feather
Iâm bright as the Oregon breeze
My black shroud
Frightened by my feelings
I only want to be a relief
No, Iâm not a go-getter
The demon had a spell on me
My black shroud
Captain of my feelings
The only thing I want to believe
When I was three, and free to explore
I saw her face on the back of the door
Be my vest, be my fantasy
I should have known better
Nothing can be changed
The past is still the past
The bridge to nowhere
I shouldâve wrote a letter
Explaining what I feel, that empty feeling
Donât back down, concentrate on seeing
The breakers in the bar, the neighborâs greeting
My brother had a daughter
The beauty that she brings, illumination
Donât back down, there is nothing left
The breakers in the bar, no reason to live
Iâm a fool in the fetter
Rose of Aaronâs beard, where you can reach me
Donât back down: nothing can be changed
Cantilever bridge, the drunken sailor
My brother had a daughter
The beauty that she brings, illumination

To all the new people here, this song talks about Sufjan regretting not letting himself grieve his mother properly. He uses various metaphors to depict his depression. However there is hope in the new generation, which is symbolized by his brother's daughter and the way the music turns happier at the end. "Illumination"!

His voice will ALWAYS just make me go ââ¨OH to see without my eyesâ¨â

So someone named Jimin brought people here? Dope, glad this song is reaching new ears.

My friend just killed herself last week and left a note with the quote
"My brother had a daughter
The beauty that she brings, illumination"
I had never heard this song before but it makes me smile through the tears

Only Sufjan can be so perfectly vague and blunt simultaneously. What a poet.

That shift in the song is like when the sun comes out after the rain and the air is all fresh.

The song refrain âmy black shroudâ resonates with me so much. Iâve been carrying a lot of emotional pain since childhood which I have kept hidden. This song really captures the ramifications of trauma at a young age. But it also implores us to grow as adults by feeling the pain we previously coveredâŚwith our shroudsâŚand to move forward with grace.

Thank God I watched "Call Me By Your Name". Mystery of Love is so good. How did i not know this genius?

You can hear âMystery of Loveâ coming to life in this song. Itâs not leaping out, but quietly, confidently taking shape in the background.

The first half makes me tear up, the second half makes me cry... The song itself is an act of grieving and a beautiful lightning rod for our own grief. Thank you, Sufjan

Grandmother passed away in March
My mother couldnât attend the funeral because of her health problems. She didnât get to say goodbye to grandma. It was devastating for all of us.
I was sitting by mom and calling her name, but it felt like she didnât even hear me. So i decided to put on some music for both of us. After the first two minutes of the song she burst into tears. And so did I.
I love you mom, youâve always been a strong woman, tears donât weaken people, it strengthens them.
Sheâs been feeling better, and Sufjan now has a special place in her heart. âMe and him we have been through similar thingsâ she said
