Final Coil Announce ‘The World We Left Behind For Others’ Release Date!

“…And I’ll leave” comes part way through the narrative arc of the album, detailing the break-up of a relationship from the perspective of a soldier’s wife. It’s clear from the lyrics that her husband is suffering from a form of post-traumatic stress disorder triggered by his experiences during World War II and it’s equally clear that he’s self-medicating with alcohol. As with so many of his generation, the need to maintain a “stiff upper lip” trumps the desperation to communicate, and so, awash with unresolved emotion, he becomes abusive and neglectful. Although she still loves him on some level, for her own safety, she has to leave. However, much as he is trapped by the expectations of his generation, so is she; and she soon finds that the support she might have expected from her family and friends is not forthcoming. It’s a tough lesson she learns, and one that results in a self-reliance she takes to her grave. Part of a wider narrative detailing the way society has become fragmented as a result of the seismic social and cultural shifts that occurred post World War II (seen through the eyes of a family torn apart by internal strife), “…and I’ll leave” tells the all too familiar story of ordinary people trapped into destructive patterns by social convention.
