Either that or it's coincidence that the biblical Jezebel was at her window ..."When Jezebel heart about it, she painted her eyes, arranged her hair and looked out of a window" (2 Kings 9:30) then was thrown from it and dogs ate her flesh. Anyway, i love the song and the allusion is perfect. The ending | Reviewer: Bible-reader | 7/13/07 For those of you who don't know - the biblical story of Jezebel ends with the dogs consuming her. I think the song is probably about a man who fell in love with a modern-day Jezebel. A woman who didn't truly love him back, but went to the "dogs" who lied to her, and fell into feigned love. The man is waiting, hoping she will come back to him and forsake the "dogs." brilliant | Reviewer: Michael | 6/20/07 simply an amazingly written song. i have a hard time saying the way i feel, but he takes the words right out of my gut. i'm waiting. amazing | Reviewer: Elena | 6/20/07 leave what it means alone, it's not important. this song is lyrically genius and beautiful. argue it's meaning all day, it will never take away its beauty no matter what each person perceives it to be. The struggle between men and women | Reviewer: Vana | 6/2/07 I am in love with this song. It seems to me this is about the pain for both men and women. A man who could not express himself in time. A woman lost and confused but most of all hurt by those who have come before and who is blind to those who care for her. This song sings of a woman like myself. It is both beautiful and sad as is life. a love story | Reviewer: Ben | 6/3/07 sam beam openly admitted agnostic leanings, so i'm going to assume the biblical reference was mere allusion. i'd interpret this work as a metaphorical song of unrequited love. one woman pursued by so many selfish dogs, she is unable to recognize the poor, deluded mess pining for her. RE: person above me | Reviewer: LackSap | 5/17/07 "This song challenges all of men's misogynist view points about women in general..." Some women just want to be offended it seems. Get over yourself. You're just as bad as any regular racist to be slighting men so carelessly. .K Jezebel By Iron & Wine | Reviewer: Drenchlands | 8/22/05 This song challenges all of men's misogynist view points about women in general, but at the same time does not let women off the hook. “the window was wide she could see the dogs come running” here in western culture we worship the whore in many ways .positive and negative. Some women revel in the worship others reject it vehemently. This song can also be construed as one man’s love of a woman who is constantly bombarded by sexual advances. She has let the man intimately into her life. He has fallen in love with her. He waits. “will the mountain last as long as i can wait wait like the dawn how it aches to meet the day” She is pre-occupied by all of the attention and in a perverse way cannot give herself to anyone, yet he waits for her, “the only shape he’ll pray to” This is a love song. Right up thee with Nick Cave. The earlier albums didn’t seem to have the melodic or lyrical maturity that woman king seems to have. I wonder if Sam can follow it up.
