I thought of that last night, too. All the webs in the trees were sort of an insane thing to see. Although it might connect nicely with the word "branches" being used, another line for which I had readings I wasn't super impressed with. But again, what would that have to do with the rest of the song--in or out of my interpretation of it?
EDIT: If that's not clear, I wasn't satisfied with
my readings of the line. I'm not saying I'm dissatisfied by Trent's lyric.
Also, I love the reason for your edit, @
Lew.
