| Sufjan Stevens – To Be Alone with You Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I think its so incredibly weird and irresponsible wen people say things like: "I know without a doubt that this song is about A, but I like to imagine that its about B." What the heck? Its like an endless circle of illogic. "but thats not what the song's about." "but, thats what I like to think its about" "but..." You can't make your own truth, otherwise nothing has meaning. | |

Hm. could it maybe be a Sufjan conversion experience? Hearing a voice in his mind, feeling overpowered by God's love, etc. and, yes, mythology is fun but truth is better. |

| Sufjan Stevens – All the Trees of the Field Will Clap Their Hands Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Unfortunately, any kind of analysis these days has been tainted by relativism, Miss Misery. Tere used to be a time when finding out the meaning behind a piece of art meant referring to the artist's intentions. In our present time, its all about whatever it means to you, annoyingly enough. So if someone doesn't like religion, then it must mean something else, or if its too blatant to deny that its about religion, then you can just say you like it in spite of that because it has "multiple" meanings. | |
| Sufjan Stevens – The Seer's Tower Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I read that Sufjan was Episcopalian by the way. It took me awhile before I realized that Seer's Tower was a play on Sears Tower in Chicago. | |

Unfortunately there are some lyrics missing on this page here they are: =) (from the Avalanche liner notes) "Ad-a-lay, ad-a-lay, your holiday The Greatest of Man, sir." too good of a line to get lost, if you ask me. |
