| Our Lady Peace – The Wonderful Future Lyrics | 21 years ago |

I see it as about someone who's found some sort of faith, or coping, something he cannot believe in as well. And maybe what she's found is real, or maybe her satellite is really just a rusty chair. Something that could seem almost denial, delusion, to those who don't have the same faith. "She needs to know I'm alive But I'm flesh and I tear" Perhaps her need for him to believe too? She wants him to be as happy in her faith? But he's not up to it, he can't or doesn't believe...maybe she's wrong but she seems happy and he doesn't know for sure that her dream isn't true...almost wistful? The need for something to believe in..envious, almost. I don't know how this fits into Kurzweil's book, though. *shrug* I'll read it eventually. For some reason this sound of this song reminds me a little of U2. Dunno why. But I love it. |

| the one-night stand thing works too with the "so tired of waking up all alone"--the excuse, the reason, y'know? But tired of that kind of relationship, maybe would be "so tired of waking up on the ground"? I like the guardian angel idea, though. | |
| Our Lady Peace – Is Anybody Home? Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| from the band "[It's] a distress signal, really. It's a call to everyone who's found themselves stuck in their rooms having their souls sucked out of them by TV and having television or the Internet mold their values and interests. It's a call for help from one isolated person to another." | |

I think I read somewhere that Raine said it was about people treating each other like machines, and the inhumanity of it...? But then about the ordering up new parts thing, that links into a discussion where they were saying with operations and things, where the dividing line is between human and machine? The continuum from hip repacement surgery, to when you start fiddling with the brain, brain enhancements, and then if you gradually replace or improve every part of the body, until little to nothing is left of the original, and where's the dividing line between human and machine then... |

It's more, I think, he is asking Jesus rather than God to save him...possibly closer to relate to, as he was once human, taking humankind's side against a more impersonal higher power, he wants another intervention...a reference to the whole Easter thing, I expect, Jesus coming back to life after dying on the cross. Asking to rewind--wanting that miracle again, Jesus saving everyone, or maybe he's 'working on something new.' A need for a BIG change, I think. The whole world is messed up, it's not a simple individual need, a cry for help. I adore this song. |
