| I Can Make A Mess Like Nobody's Business – Timshel Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Actually, timshel in the book is about every individual having the choice to be good or evil in their live. At least, that's how I understood it. It's pretty much the opposite of predestination. If the song is an allegory to the book, it seems likely that he compares himself to Adam, the main character, who throughout his life is hit with major tragedies that he can't seem to escape, yet still manages to forgive his son for killing his other song and in turn Adam himself, because his son can still choose to be a good person. It seems like it represents those amazing people who have lost so much but still seem to go on and have faith in people. "its the feeling spring has brought, but an eye for the winter's what i got, it always finds me..." He finds happiness, but always seems to end up in darker circumstances. Yet, he still just sees it like "I'll get better soon" ("No, I'll see you later"). Ace Enders is a freaking genius. I loved this song way before I read the book, and although I had to read all freakin 600 pages for school, it made me love it. ps. A friend of mine says that timshel is like "agency" in the Mormon faith. |

Ma800m - Incessent is to never end...it can apply to anything, it's not necessarily happiness...and I played the song on slow speed and I'm sure he says insuccinct, which is basically..he doesn't know the words to say. And this is the most beautiful song I've ever heard...from the intro inspired by classical music, to the violin...wow, that violin is like..heart-wrenching. It's like the music is crying...and the lyrics, well the cancer part reminded me of Heart Shaped Box...and the dark and light symbolism, it's as if the problem is better and the light has returned, but it still eats away at him inside. When he says "How this restlessness can turn into a day" It could be that there's a problem, possibly someone dying, and then it all comes down to one day when death comes or something finally ends. "And things that hide in the night" - it's like the problems that are always in the background finally make themselves seen and known. I didn't relate this to drugs, but rather like a natural high..that he's lost, just floating through, and "No, I don't feel right. I can see but I've lost my sight." He can go through daily life but it just doesn't feel the same. It sounds like Andrew lost someone, and it's over now, but he still doesn't feel right. It still pulls at him.."I don't claim to be better...No, I don't feel right." And towards the end, "Maybe I'm crazy but lightning might strike me tonight." Maybe that's about that even though he's gone through this pain, that he might be either jolted out of it..or he might end up feeling more pain in the future. Maybe he believes one day in the future he'll finally come to the epiphany about this, will finally figure things out. I'm going to see them in concert for the 2nd time in a little over a month. There's a song to fit every mood...I can't believe that such beautiful and incredible music can come from just one person. Andrew's absolutely amazing... |
