you can't listen to this song and deny les savy fav's greatness. it's basically a song about the things we are confronted with everyday and how our past experiences fuck us up eternally. |

| Sufjan Stevens – For the Widows in Paradise, for the Fatherless in Ypsilanti Lyrics | 19 years ago |

sorry vantage, but i too believe this song is about christ. the "i was dressed embarassment, i was dressed in wine" line makes me think of jesus' crucifixion. the crown of thorns was a way to make jesus feel shamed and the blood pouring down his body is the wine. i forget how many days after his death was jesus resurrected, but he comes back to life, reinforcing the line "even if i die, even if i come back" his whole life was spent teaching others how to be good and even though he was christ, he becomes human with the question, "is there some idea to replace my life?" just like the rest of us, he wants to know if people will remember what he taught when he was alive, if those ideas will outlive him and be taught to others as well. a beautiful song. sufjan is genius. i don't care for the relgious undertones, and i still enjoy and love the song. |
