| Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Maps Lyrics

the verses make the song flow but the chorus is simple and beautiful. "they don't love you like i love you" sounds like a plea for someone to understand that there is someone out there who cares about them on a deeper plane than the surface people who claim to love them. that's a line that anyone could sing really...a mother to a child, a friend to another friend, a lover to the one they love... |

| The Innocence Mission – Song for Tom Lyrics

i imagine that this song is a story of someone who is old/sick but has a beautiful spirit that will never fade. the speaker remembers when they "walked in song" and treasures that very much, but is struggling at the thought of losing this person. ["You'll never lose that light though so much is gone".] |

Also, i love the first line, it reminds me of a phoenix that dies in flames and turns to ash and then is reborn, thus "my smoldering ash into a bird". it reminds me of the human spirit that must be attacked and burned before it can be reshaped and born again |

this is my favorite sixpence song. i think it's talking about growing as a person and in the process being pushed into a new level of pain. sometimes when we try to grow into being who God made us we feel like we're being broken, like life itself is crashing down on you which is why i love the line "why do you set to break the one thing, the one thing i have to give". but in order to grow we have to broken to the core and reshaped. our old ideals and ways of thought are shifted, our souls are attacked, our hearts are broken, but in that brokeness is when we find we must hold tighter than God than ever...hold on for dear life and for sanity. we start all over from scratch and "begin again" |

| Sixpence None the Richer – Paralyzed Lyrics

i think this song is talking about the feeling of insignificance when horrible things are going on in the world around you. You wonder, is what I'm doing enough? Should I become apart of the madness? "Should I lay my fiddle down take a rifle from the ground"
It also adresses the crippling feeling associated with losing someone you love and the numbness that the aftershock can produce "It's hard to say a healing word when your tongues is paralyzed". so true. |
