Amazing song. But I think this is about finding himself in love, with God, Jesus, or just a woman, and realizing that is what is important, rather than material goods, so he gets rid of his stuff because his love is more important. And the part about crying, is because he is struggling to free himself from the hold of his material goods and to embrace his love completely. The parts about a lot of mistakes makes me think of how he is realizing that through his material goods, he has made mistakes because of/relating to them. I recently read an interview with Sufjan in Rolling Stone and he was talking about his Songs For Christmas album and he mentioned about how he didnt like materialism. |

I agree with what themunkel was saying, about how we are so fast to give kids these complexes and that we should let them be. But the part about Brothers Grimm being 'declawed' relates to how we try so hard to make everything equal for all the kids that we have to change these stories and declaw them so that no one is like left out (dont really know how to explain) or offended. |

He wil pay any price to be with her. When it is almost time to wake up, he doesnt want to cuz he wants to be with her. |
