Such a good song.
I see some church references in here:some of the deadly sins, back on your knees.

Saosin – Seven Years Lyrics 18 years ago
This song parallels The Scarlet Letter. Used that in an English presentation.

7 years-span of the novel

The holy ghost leaving...Dimmesdale getting Hester pregnant.

I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm not sure...Dimmesdale always indecisive.

Getting off my chest...He was always clutching his chest and may have put his own scarlet letter there.

That mistake was gold...In the end they decide they love eachother.

Seven years you assured me
I'd be fine if I complied ......Dimmesdale says nothing and gets none of the punishment.

Tell him his eyes see too clear...Chillingworth and perhaps God see right through Dimmedale

mewithoutYou – Disaster Tourism Lyrics 18 years ago
Does anybody think the green eyes could be a Great Gatsby reference?

In the novel they eyes pretty much represented most basically false hope/emptyness. I see alot of that in this song.

So many cool idioms/metaphors here

As Cities Burn – Of Want And Misery: The Nothing That Kills Lyrics 18 years ago
When it's an allegory of God's love for us:

"you will kill me by doing nothing"-
We hurt God when we care about him only enough to spend 3 minutes in prayer, basically nothing.

I can also see it as someone trying to help a materialistic person.

Underoath – Never Meant To Break Your Heart Lyrics 19 years ago
punkkid6312 has it right. Sin offends God and essentially breaks his heart. (song title)
First he is sad b/c he can't seem to break free from the sin (No different than yesterday).
Then he is disgusted with what he has done (sick from the mirror).
He prays/repents (do these prayers feel sincere?).
He finally gets over his sin/satan (grew to love YOUR LIES until I put YOU in the past...Until you revealed the MAN behing the mask.) Satan decieves.
He still feels pain from his past and wonders how he will go on in this world (will the scars go away
in this world i have no place)
Surrenders completely to Jesus and asks Jesus to give him strength and cleanse him b/c he can't on his own. (alone it never did me any good
hold me close, wash my mind)
New life in Christ, old self dies...(Destroy the me that lives inside).

Cursive – Big Bang Lyrics 19 years ago
What does he mean by clergyman? (Like which church, Catholic, protestant, what?) Bc my pastor has a really cool theory that backs up the big bang (Not evolution) with the first chapter of Genesis.

Nelly Furtado – Promiscuous (featuring Timbaland) Lyrics 19 years ago
There is great irony with Nelly. She goes to Africa and sings to support the fight against HIV. Then she sings a song like this. It's title is promiscuous. Is that how you prevent HIV?
