| All Together Separate – Paradigm Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
"You say live and let live, But people are dying everyday" This is not necessarily a physical death, but also spiritually. 2 Corinthians 4:16 assures believers that those who set their hearts in Christ will be renewed everyday even if they are wasting away on the outside. "And you say what I don't know won't hurt me But if what I do not know is the very thing I need" Ignorance is not bliss. This song challenges the complacency of humanity. "Humanity sees truth through a shattered window pane." It's as if we have all decided what our own view of life should be so much so that we have shattered the glass we are looking out of instead of looking to the eternal consistency of the one who fixes everything. |

| The Almost – Dirty and Left Out Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
For those who don't understand the deeper meaning to this song...neither do I. I can't understand how I've been dirty and left out, a sorry sinner that deserves death. My righteousness is a good as filthy rags. (Isaiah 64:6) However, while I was an enemy of God, disobeying his commandments (to love Him and love others [Mt 22:37-40]), He still loved me so much that He died for me! (Romans 5:8) I can't understand why a God who has all things would want to come down and die for a poor soul like me but He has and my sin was crucified with Him, it is not me who lives anymore, but Him in me. (Gal. 2:20) This is what Aaron is talking about. He does not sin to obtain something glorious, our sins lead us only to temporary pleasures. He is talking about how his temporary desires has failed an eternal God that both convicts us, but loves us beyond conviction into all eternity. So much so, that he was willing to die for us! Rejoice people! |

| I think this song is about the writer seeing God's beauty through his love. Just purely, blissfully in love. | |
| Dierks Bentley – My Last Name Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
This song means a lot to me because I have a unique last name. My favorite lines are: "So darlin if you're wonderin Why I've got you here tonight I wanna be your husband I want you to be my wife I ain't got much to give you But what I've got means everything It's my last name" A wonderful song about the pride that comes in being who you are and knowing where you come from. |

| Tonic – You Wanted More Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
A song about the irony of love. Obliviously, he's heartbroken, and perhaps a bit peeved about what happened within his relationship - describing what love should and shouldn't be. My favorite lines are: "I got to pick me up when I am down I got to get my feet back on the ground I got to pick me up when I am down" Basically saying that now he's on his own after relying on his former partner for so long. |

| Train – Calling All Angels Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| This is a song about the irony of the society that we've become and calling on something higher to save us from it all. Also, just asking why things have become so messed up. | |
| Third Day – I've Always Loved You Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Obliviously a song written as if looking through God's eyes. Wonderful song. | |
| Johnny Cash – Hurt (Nine Inch Nails cover) Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I hurt myself today, to see if i still feel, I focus on the pain, the only thing thats real, (the drugs or apathy has made him numb to everything, except possibly, the psychological pain of his guilt) The needle tears a hole, the old familiar sting, try to kill it all away, but I remember everything, (probably talking about drugs and how he can't seem to get rid of his problems through drugs) (Chorus) what have I become, my sweetest friend, everyone i know, goes away in the end, (perhaps his friends have died, from drugs [or in Cash's case, old age]; "my sweetest friend" could be drugs because it is now the only companion he has) and you could have it all, my empire of dirt, I will let you down, I will make you hurt, ("you can have it all", this "empire of dirt"; basically meaning, everything I've worked for means nothing now) I wear this crown of thorns, upon my liars chair, full of broken thoughts, I cannot repair, ("Crown of thorns", perhaps a symbol of guilt. "Chair" could be referencing a type of throne, as if to imply that he is a king of lies.) beneath the stains of time, the feelings dissapear, you are someone else, I am still right here, (the feelings perhaps "disappear" because he has forgotten what it is to live/be happy. "You are someone else" could mean that he wishes he was someone else, or who he used to be - a better person.") What have I become, my sweetest friend, everyone I know, goes away in the end, and you could have it all, my empire of dirt, I will let you down, I will make you hurt, if I could start again, a million miles away, I will keep myself, I would find a way, (wishing, but more importantly...regreting) |
