| Beirut – St. Apollonia Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
St. Apollonia was the patron of toothache, because her teeth were pulled out before she was burnt for not denouncing Christ. Well, if you ask me, St. Apollonia was not a very significant saint. So the point here may be the insignificant things in life we don't even realize around us. "I move without, I lose without a name" something too insignificant, that one can live his/her life without, and die without knowing about it and it applies to the rest of the song. But I think the beauty of the insignificant things/people/places are also underlined in the song. Although they are insignificant, the repeated use of "without" reflects a feeling of something missing in the singer's life, thus a disappointment. Maybe it's just me, but the song gives me a feeling that the singer is also yearning to see/meet these things/places/people; and to fill in that gap. |
