(ONE OF) MY FAVORITE 311 SONG(S). I love how they stand true to their roots and where they came from.. One thing I don't understand is how could people possibly honestly believe 311 has anything to do with the KKK?? I know the letter K is the 11th letter in the alphabet, and 3 K's, blah blah blah.. but come on. 311 is all about LIVING POSITIVE and UNITYYYY. And if I'm not mistaken 311 comes from the streaking/public indecency police code.. right? Mad crazy people. Anyway I love 311 and I get to see them live for the 3rd time in August.. I can't wait. |

| Flyleaf – I'm So Sick Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I was surprised to see only one or two comments on this song that mentioned anything to do with abuse or rape. "You sink into my clothes This invasion makes me feel Worthless, hopeless, sick" This verse clearly indicates she had been abused - the word "invasion" is a big clue. The emotions she lists afterwards are usual symptoms of rape victims, as well. The chorus: I'm so sick, infected with Where I live Let me live without this Empty bliss, selfishness I'm so, I'm so sick The chorus indicates that the abuser was close to home, which made the writer feel even more violated. She beings to feel "infected" because she is being abused in a place that is supposed to bring her security and comfort. The author feels out of place and extremely lost. The line "Let me live without this" indicates two things about the writer: one, her inferiority to her abuser, pleading for him to end the horror; two, her longing for what she now views as a better and happier life. The line "You broke into my faith" is an amazing way of the writer saying that her abuser came between her and something greater: her relationship with God. She feels as if she is being tested, or maybe even betrayed, by the God she felt would shelter her from such torture. Luckily, the writer had it right: she viewed the experience, no matter how devastated and violated she felt, as a test from God. She felt if she overcame this, the experience would result in a stronger relationship and greater faith in God. I honestly had no idea who this band was before several hours ago. So I had no idea they were a Christian rock group until I came on to this site and analyzed the lyrics. It's amazing stuff.. I'm definitely not going to stop listening to Flyleaf now that I found out what they are all about. It's actually refreshing to hear a band sing about something so compelling, besides drug addiction or heroine. (Although those are great too.) The girl's voice gives me chills in every song on this CD. The review I read basically said they rocked hard ("with the rock hardship of Audioslave and the rock melody of Incubus"). Anyway, I'm rambling. I hoped this helped.. |
