DC Talk – Red Letters Lyrics 17 years ago
Hmm... I always thought that "red letters" referred to letters, as in mail. You receive them, all for free - the postage is already paid - and the only thing you have to do is to open it, and you'll receive the contents; Love, truth, hope, peace, forgiveness, life. And they're red, due to the blood that Jesus shed to pay the price.
The explanation with the Bibles highlighting the words of God with red letters makes more sense, though - hence the first verse, and Kevin Max's line of "It's the book of love" in the bridge.

On that note, though, I think highlighting with exactly red in those Bibles is symbolic of the blood of the Lord.

Regards, ILB

"Spor 13" means "Track 13". Scandinavian. ^_^

Soil – New Faith Lyrics 19 years ago
Wow, now as I read what is written in the lyrics, it appears to me that this might be a Christian song. I'm not completely sure, though.

Great song, both lyrically and musically. It seems like a conversation of some sort...

Soil – True Self Lyrics 19 years ago
The lyrics for this song is great, I definitely agree with A.J. Cavalier on a lot of what he says here.

The music is also very good, it reminds me of Pillar (though maybe a little heavier).

Soil – Unreal Lyrics 19 years ago
"Oh GOD stop whining on about god. Why do people think every sodding song in the world is about god?"

You're the one whining about God.

And noone has yet said that every song in the world is about God, they've seen the imagery in some lyrics and then they got the impression that it could have Christian content. I also think it could be true, especially in SOiL lyrics. There are clear links:
"Sit back bare your cross to me",
"Sat back gave your soul to me",
"Long before I could even see
You’re what was missing"

It's impossible to rightfully deny that it is a possibility, though I do find the lyrics for this song slightly confusing.

The song itself is great, though, I really love the music.

Peace and Love

Soil – Until It's Over Lyrics 19 years ago
It seems to me that this song is about losing friends, maybe by moving away and returning.

It's a great song, nonetheless.

Soil – Pride Lyrics 19 years ago
'Tis a great song indeed, this is my favourite SOiL song - it's both catchy and replayable in the same run. That kind is rare nowadays.

Soil – Redefine Lyrics 19 years ago
@iquit: Your opinion is not neccesarily the right one. This is about interpreting songs the way you think they should be interpreted, not telling other people that their interpretations are incorrect. This song may very well be about religion and believing in God, and it might be about a person Ryan McCombs met in real life and that helped him - maybe both.

I personally think this song is about Jesus' work in a person's life - which is my interpretation. I base it on that it fits into the picture I have of God - helpful, forgiving and loving. Another reason is that I discovered a cross at the end of the music video. I think it is too much resemblance to look away from it being the intention of the lyrics:

"FIRST SIGHT
Turns me round again
Brings me face to face with my sin
I've got it, always had it
A reason to look within now
TAKE FLIGHT
To your sun again
Burns the sin straight from my hands"

"And every time I hate myself
You love me, forgive me
And every time I lose myself
You find me, redefine me"

You may very well disagree with me, but don't disagree by saying that I'm wrong - disagree by saying that you think something else.

So this song might be about becoming a Christian, maybe about returning to life after meeting a special person. It might even be about both. So unless McCombs himself shows up here telling the intention he had with this song, we can't really know.

And even if he says what his intention was, music is still such a subjective subject that people may interpret lyrics as they wish without being told that it can't be understood that way. Although then without basing it on that the writer meant it to be read like that.

Peace and love
