| Emery – Walls Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
At the beginning of civilization, the most important thing to people living inside a city were the walls that surrounded the city. They were a symbol of the power and magesty of the individual cities, both protecting the city from attackers and define bounderies for the people inside. I think this song is resonating that, though we no longer build huge walls around our cities, we still build figurative walls around our hearts, souls, or whatever you want to think of it as. These walls we build around ourselves are to protect us from the outside, as well as defining us as a person. "The lines that keep you, the lines that sweep you." The tone of the songs seems to make one think that these walls, however cherished, are dangerous do us. They beg for someone to be able to tear down the walls and reach them in a deep way. "I've built these walls: come get to me." What do you think? |
