| Mat Kearney – Girl America Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| This song reminds me of 1 Corinthians 10:13... about all the tempatations in the world that may lead us astray..or as Kearney puts it : "the circumstances"..and that, through the sacrifice of Jesus, we have an escape...it's up to us to decide: "But how you deal with these problems and pains that come your way"...that define who we are. | |

Apologies, first off for the spelling error occuring twice in the last two lines...i had a mental blank...and ended up flipping a coin to determine how i would spell 'shelter'....unfortunately, it was just after the lyrics were posted that i recognised my error. Also, I have a slight hearing imparement, so if I have made further errors there, please forgive me. Now, onto the song: I LOVE THIS SONG, it is awesome..short, but awesome! It features in the movie "Loving Annabelle" which i have not yet seen, but from what i've seen of the trailers it looks like a fairly interesting movie, well worth buying when it comes out on DVD. The reason it works so well, is that it portrays the feelings between Annabelle and Simone so perfectly...the meaning of the phrase to be "All Over" someone, is to be infactuated with them. "In the space between what's wrong and right, You will find me waiting for you"...this is again, the situation the women have found themselves in...the point where they must decide what is wrong and what is right....to consumate the relationship, or to let it go. "Coz i know, that you know you're all over me now" is Annabelle saying to simone, "I know u know u like me". I assume the phrase "you will show, your curtains will go" is metaphoric for Simone's facade crumbling down..allowing herself to love Annabelle. The last two lines are also wonderful in the imagery given to them by the movie...Annabelle has pointed out simone's hard heart towards a relationship with her and has offered a solution for her to be free....i doubt i need to explain the meaning of "my sheets are warm" in terms of the escape she's offering..it's blatantly put by annabelle, yet it has a romantic air to it, which i find amazing....as even tho this is the love between a teacher and her student, at no point does it seem that Simone (the teacher) is a predator or taking advantage of Annabelle (student)..rather it seems annabelle is older than her years and more certain of the relationship... hence making any feelings simone has, perfectly rational. Then, "I will shelter you through the storm. I will shelter you all through the storm"...i find these lines a very tender expression of love...these foreshaddow what is going to happen next. Annabelle is re-assuring simone that she does love and care for her and that this is not lust, rather it is love. All in all i believe the song is about love, unexpected love...it encourages those to open their hearts and minds to all possible types of love... in more specific terms, homosexual love. Whilst it not considered moral, by traditional standards...it is love none the less. |
