An Analysis of “Belly of the Deepest Love” by Tow’rs

Every once in a while you come across a song that is so fantastic and beautifully written it requires a full-blown, in-depth analysis due to how well the lyrics are composed. It’s that song that when you hear it and you understand the lyrics for the first time, you are pulled to listening to it over and over again – trying to hear the intricate melodies and harmonies, working to understand the subtle nuances in the words chosen. That song for me is “Belly of the Deepest Love” by Tow’rs.

Andy’s Song

November 2019

I know You’re still here beside me

But I don’t hear Your voice

I have fought against the silence

But I feel like I don’t have a choice

Graven Hands

His graven hands go offering life from Death

who thought Christ took more than He could bear.

Death rejoiced at the sound of the hammer’s clang

of the nail into the wood as the Son of God sang,

“Eloi! Eloi!” and it leaves us wond’ring to where

Everything But the Truth

June 2019

[Verse 1]

They say the road is paved with good intentions

But really it’s just our voices in their ears

So Wormwood listen up and listen close now

And bring to life their deepest, darkest fears

Consider Your Death

O winter wind, o eastern wind

The wonder of my youth

Lay me down upon this earth

That I may know the truth

That my foe has been defeated

But broken not by sword

And I shall rest ’til He returns

In the comfort of my Lord

You have a nice bottom, too.
