| David Crowder Band – You are My Joy Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
The breath of God is in him, which leads him to repeat how much joy God brings him. The joy of God makes little sense to people who have not experienced it, which is why he cannot remain composed, but he is okay with that because it is worth it. He needs to catch his breath because God is the source of his fiery passion and if he does not pause to breath he will not be close God. He has to stop in mid song around thousand of audience members to "catch his breath," which is figuratively saying to center himself on God. As it would turn out (Crowder probably knows this), the word for worship in Greek (which was one of the original languages of the Bible) is pneuma. Phneuma is the root word for pneumonia and it literally means to breathe. So when the Bible says to worship God, the Greek readers were reading to "breathe God." David Crowder understands that while he is a worshiper, he is also a worship leader, and his purpose in life is to lift up others in mutual worship of God. His final song on this album (A Collision) is titled "The Lark Ascending (I'm Trying to Make You Sing)" I think in this song he was trying to lead everyone into not just worshiping God but to actually breathe him. To pause in the middle of a song and catch a breath of God, something that most people have never done before. In the Psalms this kind of pause is called a "Selah" which roughly translates from Hebrew to mean "a holy pause" The last line of the song is "I'm laughing so hard." Laughing occurs when you joyfully expel air from your lungs. In fitting with the rest of the song, he is outpouring God with great joy for everyone around him that they too may enjoy God. Hence the repetition of "You are my joy." So all in all this song reflect the cycle: pause and inhale God -> spread this joy to everyone around you -> catch you breath and inhale God -Ben |

| Five Iron Frenzy – Dandelions Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
When a kid goes and picks dandilion for his mother its because he loves he and thats all he can give. A dandilion is a weed but a mother puts them in a vase a delights in them because her son gave them to her out of love. This is a metaphor for God loving our gifts to him no matter how bad they are. That we dont have anything to give better than a dandilion but God will still proudly hold them in a vase. "You see flowers in these weeds" |

| of Montreal – It's Easy to Sleep When You're Dead Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Treat everybody the way you want them now, because when you're dead, you can't tell them anything and all you can do is ponder your life. | |
| of Montreal – You Are an Airplane Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| In the shell of a childish story about playing outside, he is afraid that his best friend is doing something dangerous, that can make her "crash" and "make a horrible mess." He pretends that he can talk to her while she is in the air and that what he tells her can bring her to saftey. But if it can't he has no reason to be alive. | |
