This is one of those songs that affects me more than I really think makes sense. I think I have some... emotional baggage that I'm suppressing and when I hear certain songs I'm just like "I know, right?"

This fits just about 50% of modern protagonists, shows and otherwise.

Touch my mouth and hold my tongue I'll never be your chosen one I'll be home safe and tucked away Well You can't tempt me if I don't see the day The pull on my flesh was just too strong Stifled the choice and the air in my lungs Better not to breathe than to breathe a lie 'Cause when I opened my body I breathe in a lie I will not speak of your sin There was a way out for Him The mirror shows not Your values are all shot But oh my heart, was flawed I knew my weakness So hold my hand consign me not to darkness So crawl on my belly 'til the sun goes down I'll never wear your broken crown I took the road and I fucked it all away Now in this twilight, how dare you speak of grace So crawl on my belly 'til the sun goes down I'll never wear your broken crown I took the road and I fucked it all away Now in this twilight, how dare you speak of grace So crawl on my belly 'til the sun goes down I'll never wear your broken crown I can take the road and I can fuck it all away But in this twilight, our choices seal our fate

Never forsake your honour. Even when other people don't think you are deserving of it, even if you don't think you are deserving of it, wear it without demur or doubt. Be you a king or beggar, the importance of preserving one's honour is all the same.

This is one of the most excellent, but sadly underrated songs I think I've ever heard.

I believe Marcus Mumford wrote this song about how he, as a person, is broken and the crown that someone has tried to place on his head, figuratively, is also broken. There are a lot of Biblical references in it, probably because he was raised in a very religious home by two parents who may well have had aspirations for his future within the church/faith. He admits to his flaws, but points out that there are flaws in the other as well, "the mirror shows not, your values are all shot". He'd rather crawl on his belly like the serpent in the Bible - in the garden. Beautifully written. Anyone who grew up with religion being touted as riteous and all-knowing, yet full of judgements could understand where he is coming from. I think it's great that you are all finding parallels, honest, but I truly think that this is Marcus' "letter" of sorts to the church or faith he grew up with, but ultimately rejected in favor of an equally flawed existence he chose instead. Just an idea. Not trying to sound like a smarty-pants. I just love looking at lyrics to try to interpret their meaning, like I do with poetry.

So many people interpreting this as biblical or relationship-wise. Hell, they may as well be right, but to me this is a father/son song - the son in this metaphore being the "chosen one", the heir that must wear the crown the same way, his father forging him into a copy of himself and the son being against it. "The pull of the flesh was too strong" - he tried to get out, but was basically too much like him already. "He is my flesh and bone" is a common expression to refer to a child. So, I like the intepretation of this song being of a man who disagrees being forced to become what his father is, because he doesn't respect it as much and takes his own path.
