| Chris Cornell – Scar On The Sky Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
The second stanza (the paragraph after the first chorus) can represent a secret hiding place for heroes whenever they are tired of their heroic tasks. It is a place where these super-strength creatures find solace and wishing to be saved or be helped with their personal problem. I mean, thousands of heroes have been created already but it seems antagonists for happy endings are always there. Even Superman and Spiderman gets tired. In these hills they wash the gold and graves away To the valley under all of this I lay And the you dig me out un-earthed and saved The third point you can apply the song Scar On the Sky is on our everyday heroes let's say our father. It's a reality that kids love and respect their father with the highest mark inside their comfortable home. It's also a reality that fathers sometimes receives disrespect from their boss at work. Which may include fathers being scolded by their stupid boss at work (You should watch a Wonder Year episode about this one). Fathers sometimes losses the will to continue because of depression and/or during recession-time or after losing a job. After these terrible things at work, the father may ask for a night-out with his wife (or with children) to drive away problems and at least enjoy a night and hoping that wonderful night will never end. After having a wonderful date with a wife and coming home to/with the children is a wonderful way of driving away negative feelings. "We can rip the night out of the arms of the sun" http://josepherdon.blogspot.com/2009/08/chris-cornell-scar-on-sky.html |

The second point you can apply the song is to another flying creature, the wizard Howl (of the Anime movie HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE-you should watch it!!!). There are scenes in the movie that the wizard Howl transforms into a bird-like creature to interfere in a war probably driving away missiles or detonating missiles in the air that will harm people. Each time Howl transform into a bird makes it even harder for him to return back into human form. There are some scenes that shows that Howl is really really tired after returning back from a bird into human again. Howl's love to Sophie drives him to interfere in the war to save humans. In the latter part of the movie, Howl completely transform into a bird. Sophie helped Howl to transform back into human form with the help of the fire demon Calcifer. I think the song Scar On The Sky fits more to Howl than Superman. But the lyrics can be applied to both Superman and Howl. http://josepherdon.blogspot.com/2009/08/chris-cornell-scar-on-sky.html |

The first point you can apply the song is in the point of view of Superman. Scar On The Sky may mean that Superman is planning to abandon the task of being a sky-patrol (leaving a scar on the sky) because he is tired of saving people with it's endless crime. He draws his strength from Lois Lane to give humanity another try (this may explain the first stanza, where Superman leaves a note to Lois Lane about his dilemma whether to continue saving people. The reply of Lois Lane to help Superman's personal problem can give another strength and will to the hero) The chorus can be applied to Superman and Lois Lane having a date on a night sky, flying over the city while holding hands or Superman holding Lois Lane in his arms. During those moments, Superman can draw another strength and will to fight evil people and give the humanity another chance by fighting evil folks. http://josepherdon.blogspot.com/2009/08/chris-cornell-scar-on-sky.html |

| Audioslave – I Am the Highway Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
http://josepherdon.blogspot.com/2007/12/i-am-highway.html Directly / Indirectly, the song has a biblical meaning. I'm not aware of Chris Cornell's religious background but the song I AM THE HIGHWAY basically revolves around the verse John 14:6 ...I am the way... Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6 (ASV) Since the time of the Old Testament, people made their own way. People have turned on their own way, created their own way. Paths have been created, people have turned their back from the path of the Lord. The path of the Lord has been lost and was overshadowed by many paths created by man The lord is inviting people to turn back to His reproof. Let’s go back to the old ways, to the old path. The path of the Lord. Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls... Jeremiah 6:16 (King James Bible) Chorus I am not your rolling wheels I am the highway I am not your carpet ride I am the sky I am not your blowing wind I am the lightning I am not your autumn moon I am the night The night In the chorus, The Lord is saying that He is More than what you think of Him The Lord is more than man You cannot even comprehend the greatness, intelligence and majesty of the Lord. The Lord is more than what you think of Him http://josepherdon.blogspot.com/2007/12/i-am-highway.html |

| Megadeth – Never Walk Alone...A Call To Arms Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
this song is my favorite track from the UA album. Here's my view about the song: The song is being sang by The Almighty talking to a man. Whether you're a good or bad person, God is here. You cannot escape. You love Him, He will love you. You ignore Him, you'll suffer the consequence. God is waiting for you to return to His reproof. But the lyrics ...I loved you when you still hated me means that even you hate God, you still enjoy God's creations around you as written in That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. Matthew 5:45 You see? God Wants everyone to be saved. He's waiting for us to repent as it written in The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2Peter 3:9 this was elaborately discussed here: http://josepherdon.blogspot.com/2007/08/never-walk-alone.html |

| Black Sabbath – Sabbath Bloody Sabbath Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
On the first stanza... It appears that someone who has seen troubles in his eyes had known of the bible but refused to get serious about it. With the lines ..."the book is read, the end begins to show, the truth is out the lies are old, but you you don't want to know." is telling about ignoring the call of God. You've seen life through distorted eyes You know you had to learn The execution of your mind You really had to turn The race is run the book is read The end begins to show The truth is out, the lies are old But you don't want to know After ignoring the call, hatred, confusion and other bad things happened to man who refuse to follow God. Man prefer to walk on darkness and stay away from the light. They prefer lies from the truth. So instead of the sabbath or rest being offered by Jesus (...and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Matthew 11:29), the opposite happened because of the wicked ones ignored the call from God. this was elaborately discussed here: http://josepherdon.blogspot.com/2007/08/sabbath-bloody-sabbath.html |

| Slayer – Spiritual Law (D.I. cover) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
About certain religious laws/ceremonies which are not in the bible that was just created by preachers. about a man who is searching for Jesus but was lost by these so-called spiritual laws created by man and not God. (example: cross, holy water, confession to a priest, rosary) cool lyrics include: "I want to see Christ today!" |

| Wolfgang – What Grows In Your Garden Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
It obviously talks about the saying "What you reap is what you sow" just like what is written in the bible... Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Galatians 6:7 The song deals about the "sister" who is hoping to have a good harvest/fruit from the garden with too many grass affecting her plants. The "sister" is hoping a rain will wash the garden that turned to be infested with too many unwanted inhabitants. The song can also be a metaphor to our lives. If we let our lives to be filled by hatred and sins, our garden(lives) will not be beautiful as we have hoped for but will be filled with grass and other unwanted inhabitants. Our flowers in our garden will be killed by grass and other parasites. Once it happen, we can only pray that a rain will wash our garden away. ...Opening your eyes to the stars just to pray Hoping more rain will wash your garden away... http://josepherdon.blogspot.com/2007/06/what-grows-in-your-garden.html |

| Bruce Dickinson – Trumpets Of Jericho Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This song is about people who have let the demon live inside their heart and build a wall that even the trumphet of Jericho could not break that wall. Man is a living vessel that we have a choice if we let God or the demon dwell in us. Heavy lyrics by Bruce. Bruce was able to mix myth context with bible references to produce such a positive song. the Message: every sin you commit even if it is little, it serves as a brick to the wall inside your heart that continually build until there's no more space for the spirit of God to dwell inside you. nice work Bruce! Up with Irons! |

| Metallica – No Leaf Clover Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
it's about someone who thought that the light approaching to his way is the answer to his problem. So he was happy about it, he didnt listen to the warning of the distant thunder. He was so preoccupied with the success. "Pay no mind to the distant thunder New day fills his head with wonder, boy" but it turned out to be his destruction. "Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel Was just a freight train coming your way." Cool lyrics, yet heavy. =) James is such a great lyricist. |
