I believe this song is about the protagonist, and their struggles with grief, and/or anxiety, but eventually managing to overcome these struggles. ⠀ It was said that: ⠀ "I keep the phone by my side Afraid she'll wake me up to catch the next flight In time to say goodbye" ⠀ This implies that the protagonist's father is ill (possibly terminally). ⠀ It was also said that: ⠀ "I can't stand myself" ⠀ This, fitting in line with the previous interpretation, describes one of the seven stages of grief, guilt. Although the protagonist may not feel directly responsible for the (implied) death, it is likely there was some guilt about lost time, and missed...

Although the protagonist may not feel directly responsible for the (implied) death, it is likely there was some guilt about lost time, and missed opportunities. ⠀ In the end, it appears that the protagonist may not have completely recovered, but is healing, and learning to cope with the loss of their father, as seen in quotes below. ⠀ "I think I'm gonna finally give myself a new try," "Because I'm holding my own in a great big storm."
In my opinion, it is very wise to think through everything down to the smallest detail before traveling, for example, take everything you need with you, including a first aid kit, and think in advance about how to leave the airport. I advise everyone who is planning to travel to France to go here atobtransfer.com/france/charles-de-gaulle-airport-transfers/ and pre-order a taxi to Charles de Gaulle airport. This is a convenient way to save time and quickly leave the airport to where you planned to start your trip to France.

In my younger days, I conducted a rigorous series of controlled experiments that proved to a statistical certainty that playing "Refugee" on the car stereo reduced my 0-60 time by a full second.

Alan and Mimi discussed the writing and recording process of Things We Lost In The Fire in detail on the podcast "Life of the Record." The title "Dinosaur Act" isn't really about anything, and was actually thought of as a temporary title. In the end, it was kept because it worked sonically. The imagery in the song is a collection of some of Alan Sparhawk's childhood memories. Some memories involve his family, some involve his childhood friends' families. The memories are mostly unrelated and aren't intended to tell a story; they're just sketches he remembered at the time of writing....

I think this song is about drugs.🚬 I think it's about two addicts, one chose to get help and is trying to motivate and encourage the other to do the same. When she says she chooses to be happy it means she is choosing to get clean. Then she trys to say many things to remind the other person that they're capable of much better. " I saw the life inside your eyes" 👁️maybe means that she remembers the spark and energy that the person had before she/he became addicted. She says "So Alive" many times, reminding her/him that there...

She says "So Alive" many times, reminding her/him that there is more to life and more to live for. 🌃"Shine bright like a diamond"means "I see your potential and know that you are still special." 💎That the person is more than just an addict and can overcome the addiction and return to living normally, that he/she will always be a "star" in her eyes.
Such a beautiful song.🏆❤️
Interpretations of this song suggest a gunslinger running from the law who gets captured and sentenced to hard labor. That's one interpretation. If you take the lyrics literally, however, they seem more like a deadbeat who left his family to starve and had the Pinkertons track him down. He seems to be running from debt and dishonor rather than Wild West lawless capers.

Usher never disappoints tho.....He's over the girl who hurt him and now there's a queue of girls who are willing to be with him......."constantly be calling , me I just don't reply"😇 It a little too late baby girl.....coz I'm also on that line🤭❤️

The lyrics, imo, are a reference to Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker's LDS faith. The Plan is God's plan, renewed via weekly sacrament. The song is prayer between Mimi Parker and her higher power, God. She asks to hold God's word in her heart for the week until she takes her next sacrament. Even though listeners may not share the same faith, the premise is still relatable for anyone asking for strength and inner peace over a period of time (ie: strength to make it through a busy week.) Much like the Serenity Prayer, any listener can use the song's...

I feel like this song is quite clearly about "traditional" Christians, some of whom are homophobic, ableist, transphobic, racist, misogynistic A lot of very bad things. I believe this song is quite clearly a jab at those people, who are prejudiced, and sometimes much worse, but who pass it off as preaching their religion. It is not against Christianity, even through it may seem like that, especially in the line "'cos there's just no hate like Christian love." This is mitigated, however, when it is said "Jesus would’ve hated the way you’ve portrayed him Love they neighbour right? Or is...

Repeat: Not anti-Christian, anti-discrimination.
