This is a hard one to listen to for me. Reminds me of my darkest hour very trapped , very betrayed and alone . There was not any drama and everything was colourless. It still makes me shed a tear but a lovely song.
I have a slightly different take on it. I always thought of Faith as a journey through life through the eyes of a very young man (even an adolescent). If you think about it it has birth, youth, rebellion, maturing & death in it.
All Cats puts me in mind of the amount of pressure there is on a person to conform & be the same as everyone else & so be kept back in time (in a cave) where everyone is the same.
Very good.. I always thought of it as being trapped in a state of mind .. Or situation you didn't expect and stuck cornered . When your like that day and night merges into monotony /grey.
For sure, it's one of my favorite Cure songs ; beautiful version on the album Faith ; don't like the sound during the 81's gigs ; we had to wait Roger and his keyboards to find again the real song (1989, 2000)...

Faith is almost like a black/white cliche, beautiful song no doubt.
At night...I hear the darkness breathe...I sense the quiet despair...Listen to the silence...At night...Someone has to be there...
But I never cared about what the lyrics meant because the atmospher recalls me one thing :
"The cat that walked by himself", a short novel by Rudyard Kipling (In "Just so stories" recollection) and, for me, a very moving and charming childhood memory.

I think you've hit the nail on the head there. One of the things about The Cure's songs is that there is something about each song, no matter what they are supposed to be about, that touches us all in a certain way. Often they can be very personal.
