| Anberlin – Cadence Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| In 1 Thessalonians 5:19, the apostle Paul writes, "Do not stifle the Holy Spirit"... I'm pretty sure that's what Steven Christian is referring to when he says "Stifle, Paul said that you stifle him again and again and again." | |
| Emery – Left With Alibis And Lying Eyes Lyrics | 19 years ago |

First of all, this song isn't about sex. It's about what Kcf3106 described very well -- being trapped in the cycle of sin. The song makes perfect sense in the context of sexual sin, but I don't think it is necessarily restricted to that. It could pretty much be about any sin that becomes habitual. Second, a lot of Christian bands do this: they write a song that can be taken from a nonchristian listener's perspective and a Christian listener's perspective. The nonchristian would interpret this song as someone running away from murder, which makes sense if you take the lyrics at face value. However, from a Christian viewpoint, the song is a metaphor for being trapped in a cycle of sin. To address CombatChuck000's comment: Yes, that part sounds a lot like murder if taken at face value. However, the metaphor is comparing committing murder to a committing sin. This is the part where the character is indulging in sin. |

| It's not "I'm gonna gun this town," it's "I'm gonna gun this down." Definitely changes a lot about this song. =P | |
