Thrice – Backdraft Lyrics 15 years ago
i had the idea that the chorus is the voice of temptation/the accursed/satan.

he is waiting in a room starving, temptation comes to him to test him but it doesn't matter, the world can burn because he is true to his saviour

Death Cab for Cutie – Lightness Lyrics 15 years ago
lightness meaning void of any ties & relationships (as in the book)

she is wanting lightness by denying her love for him. he knows she has feelings but she won't let herself go.

her instincts are to think of being light but really she knows she should want him/love.

the great thing is that ivory lines = bra straps or ribs both kind of mean the same thing, she will give in to him. i dont think he is simply lusting after her, i think he's infatuated with her. he can't stop taking glances and is trying to build a bigger picture of how good she looks (patterns in static, can't see a lot but if you keep trying it will make sense)

just my 2p. brilliant song and so true to life!

Thrice – Daedalus Lyrics 15 years ago
such a sad song. i love firewingpegasus' view.



Daedalus was only doing what he thought was best for Icarus, but his ambition clouded his judgement and stopped him realising Icarus wouldn't pay attention.

The end of the song brings tears to my eyes. It is so hard to go on when the best thing in your life has gone, even more so when it's the consequence of your actions. I think everybody has been in the situation where there isn't an answer to the question, Why? Why me?

The saddest thing is that Daedalus will never leave that "prison", hes hung up his wings. given up hope, faith, ambition.

mewithoutYou – Messes of Men Lyrics 16 years ago
i like the idea that its is about a wife, but isn't aaron single? (not that it would matter, i know)

i always figured 'you' refered to god, he is all knowing and saw aaron give in to temptation.

the last line is so perfect. god is great, so beautiful, theres nothing better in life.

what does mildew have to do with spirits?

imo. seeing as the whole song seems to be about his lust/escaping sin (lusters are messes of men?) it would make sense that he has had a taste of hell and wont ever go back, oh my god! and hes watching every preconception he had disappear.

or something like that :p

mewithoutYou – O, Porcupine Lyrics 17 years ago
i never get figs from a thorny branch?
i never picked a grain from off a bramble bush
and i pass by almost 6 years now,
and you know you haven't once looked at me with kindness in your eye
and you say 'jesus is a brother of mine'
homeward sister and i
darkness and light shines, so everyone sings
but my life is held down like god
you know i've been mistaken while missing that point
and that light, is god/gone?

it gets really hard after the 'jesus is a brother of mine' part. doubt much after that is right.
