| Exactly, I thought the same thing. It really sounds like "And tell Dad I just farted." | |
| Thousand Foot Krutch – Favorite Disease Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Agreed. "I'm on my knees" - reference to being humble before God in prayer. "haven't lost myself in a long time" - reference to John 3:30 - He must increase, I must decrease or being "hidden with Christ" (Col. 3:3). | |
| Līve – Sofia Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
thelegendofkb, that's similar to what I was going to post. Ed is alluding to Sophia (although he spells it Sofia), who is the gnostic personification of wisdom. Man, Ed hits on so many spiritual points in his songs and dances around love and truth. He has come so close to Christianity but won't embrace it. Buddha won't do anything for him on his deathbed. |

this song is definitely not about Lucifer. Aside from the fact that the music is positive, upbeat and uplifting, there is no sense of evil in the lyrics. Go read Billy's lyrics from Zwan and you'll find a trend: he writes about positive aspects of Christianity. Lucifer is not a "son of God." Christians/humans are God's children. what kind of kit do you play b_rent? |

| KoЯn – Evolution Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
"You don't need the threat of hell, promise of reward in heaven or some other religious basis in order to be a decent human being." So what is your definition of a "decent" human being? By what standard are you measuring and why should I adhere to your standard? You cannot define right and wrong without a transcendent truth. Who are you to say that Hitler was a bad person? Your morality has no ground without an absolute definition of good and evil. On another note, why do you even want to be a "decent" person? If you are just going to die in the next century and be forgotten, why did decency matter? In other words, your life is futile if it has one end, namely the grave. |

| Līve – Lakini's Juice Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
John 6:54 - "Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day." This is what Jesus said in reference to communion. So this song definitely references Christianity. Not in good way. Other than that, I can't figure out the rest of the song. |

bbrocker, who said the Bible was at odds with science? You can either use the Bible to interpret the evidence or you can use a naturalistic approach to explain the evidence. Either way, it's the same evidence, and quite honestly, evolution does not do a good job of explaining our existence. Your view of human origins will invariably reflect your starting assumptions, and evolution is built on the presupposition that God had nothing to do with our creation. I am proposing that you use God and the Bible as a starting point for fitting the pieces of evidence into your worldview, and I think you will find that it makes more sense than evolution. Just because evolution is the only theory taught in our education system doesn't mean you can't question its validity, and it would be extremely ignorant not to. Maybe you could be more specific and point out some of the facts you are referring to...? |

| Bad Religion – Lost Pilgrim Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Bad Religion makes religious references constantly, and I think "Did you drink the mercury?" is referring to the idea that religion is the "opiate of the masses." Like Karl Marx, Bad Religion is questioning why people will "risk it all" or "march ahead" in the name of religion even to their deaths. They are critical of organized religion and people with "pious eyes" who look down on others, "ignoring passersby." On a side note, perhaps "see the writing on the door?" is referring to Martin Luther's 95 Theses and how the Pilgrims may have not heeded Martin Luther's calls to change challenge the state religion. Pilgrims, in effect, created colonies like "a place you were before." |

"I don't believe...that there's any hope left for me" If evolution is true, this statement would sum up all of our lives. In a world in which we are all just animals dancing to our DNA until we die, there is no purpose. Might as well kill ourselves. This song is depressing, but very relevant, and I think it should force people to reconsider their worldviews and try to answer the question of 'Where do I come from?' Evolution is nothing more than an unsupported hypothesis...and I don't believe it "by the evidence that I see." |

| The Smashing Pumpkins – Bring the Light Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I think Billy Corgan's transformation from a negative, God-mocking artist in his days of Bullet with Butterfly Wings to his more recent, positive songs is notable. After his project with Zwan, it is clear that Billy Corgan is now a Christian, and this song reflects that conversion. He asserts that the "son of God you know you must arrive in the light" and recognizes that the light is "yours not mine." "Mix my ash with your blood" refers to the dust that we all become and Billy's longing to be saved by the blood of Christ, who was sacrificed for mankind. Light is a major theme in the Bible, and it describes the holiness of God that is pure. In our world of darkness, we should welcome God's light by exclaiming, "Bring the light!" | |
| Blindside – After You're Gone Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I really like how Christian uses the metaphor of "singing" to fill him with life. God's voice is the most AWESOME thing known to man. God SPOKE the universe into existence, and that same voice can sing you to life and save you from death when you humble yourself before Jesus Christ. And that is who Christian wants to see when he "crosses over into the light." | |
| 30 Seconds to Mars – Fallen Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
The title, "Fallen" instantly reminds me of the book of Genesis in the Bible, and the chorus seems to refer to the Garden of Eden. After Adam and Eve committed the first sin, God cursed mankind and death was God's promise of punishment. So the singer seems to be asking "why are you here?" and "who are you?," and "innocence is out of style" (sin is in style now). In his cynical view of Christianity, he describes humans as nothing more than a violent urge that is sweet (sin is fun) who have an end (death) because of God's promise (curse). While the choruses may just be alliterations to the Bible, the big picture seems to just be asking the HUGE life question of WHY? He's trying to make sense of reality. |

| Blindside – Silence Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
thebennieboi, calling people close-minded is an awfully abrasive way of classifying people who are legitimately analyzing the song. If the majority of people are finding this song to be Christian's relationship with God, there must be some reason for them to believe that. I am weary of people identifying all of Blindside's songs as "love songs" based on relationships with girlfriends. Given the pattern of Blindside's references to Christianity, it is safe to assume that the "cross" and "silent prayer" and "looking up to the stars" characterize this song as a relationship between the singer and God, namely Jesus. Please don't inundate us with anymore of this "it can mean anything you want it to." That is relativism, in which there is an absence of truth, and it is such a cop out for investigating what the truth is, in songs and in life. "Tolerance is the virtue of the man without convictions." - G.K. Chesterton |

| Blindside – Ask Me Now Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| this song reminds me of Matthew 4:18 when Jesus calls his disciples to follow him. Simon and Peter are so intrigued by Jesus' call that they just drop what they're doing and go to become "fishers of men." This song is sort of along the lines of Pitiful when Christian talks about looking away from Jesus' eyes, but in this song Christian "lost your face in the crowd for a while." Anyone else see the similarities? | |
| Blindside – Cute Boring Love Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Very good point about his use of "sister," edmonds7. Nobody has really made much sense of the lines: "Thank God for freedom, Thank God for liberation." In light of the lust theme, Blindside may be asserting that sin (lust) has us bound in chains, and if we love like God loves us, we can be freed from our bondage. Paul talks about finding freedom in Christ in many of his letters (Galatians 5:1). Being liberated from our sinful lust will allow us to long for a love that is pure, God's love ('don't you ever long for purity?'). | |
