| Zao – The Lesser Lights of Heaven Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
hm i have a different approach to this... im going to replace the lesser lights of heaven, to Hell...straight up.. just hell, think of it this way... theres heaven and hell, and this was a concept album for Zao, what life would be like without god, so hes talking about basically this is salvation if god doesn't exist..now lets continue with the slightly modified lyrics. hell is burning towards a dream The eyes of mothers bleeding Cast their children to the sea Hell is burning for a dream, the dream being the eyes of mothers bleeding, and casting their children into the sea (perhaps sea of fire) hell is screaming in our mind Listen to the chorus So divine and unkind anyone who wars with sin personally can relate to the line "hell is screaming in our mind" and sometimes we get deceived by its "divine" sounding, but in the end its unkind. Hell is burning for their Son Praying for the presence That birthed them into one this verse i cant really pick apart without saying, that i once was told that hell would be knowing what heaven is and not having it because you are in hell, in saying that, "burning for their son, praying for the presence, that birthed them into one", i have mixed ideas about this, ill say though, being in hell you would want a savior and you would be praying for his presense for he made you (birthed you into one). again keeping in mind of the concept of this album, god has died... this verse here under my interpretation makes me anyway realize just how much we need the lord. Hell, their bodies but a flame A sky that knows no distance A cut that feels no pain this verse here i really just get the idea that its setting a scene for us, in hell we are nothing but a flame, just burning and dieng forever, and eventually we would get no pain from it (a cut that knows no pain) but keeping in mind the previous verse, we still always feel hollow for the missing piece! Hell are bending towards your will Cutting through the person Who would rather die than kill ok jesus i feel is being talked about here, "hell is bending towards your will", YOUR will is not whats good, the LORDS willl is good and thats why as christians we try and work for him, and then "cutting through the person who would rather die than kill", here its like hes saying, hell is trying to make you forget who died for you instead of killed and did things of the flesh. jesus christ our Saviour! Hell cast crowns before your throne Dissipate into nothing We truly are alone Because there is no god in this concept, "casting crowns" is a way to mock us, as if satan is saying, where is your god now?, that sounds pretty alone to me. Can we live through this? Hell Can we?, good thing we don't have to! if we choose the narrow path matthew 7:13 thats my interpretation anyway :) |

| Zao – Praise the War Machine Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
hm OK ill post the lyrics and dissect it a bit... The death of the Omega pilots the war machine We shall destroy the earth Rebuild it None shall inherit it Blood turned into fire Made to drink like wine Pile up the countless corpses and on them we shall dine Ok now the omega is god, says so in the bible, now he can't Actually die, but figuratively he could, when someone is dead to you they are gone, so God is gone from the earth, immediately im thinking this is the judgement. The rest of the verse talks about how brutal things will get without gods guidelines in a New world order state... *cough* evolution philisophy*cough*...i didnt say that. We praise you, war machine You've come to set us free Run us through your jaws Carry us off in your claws At first i want to think, oh hes happy for god setting him free of sin..but then he mentions jaws and claws.. so on a side note this may be releasing quite a bit of feelings about his own faith? hopefully the writer of this song realizes hes doing a good thing for those who understand his motive..anyway, my feeling is this verse shows how decieving the devil can be, he has now fooled everyone to thing THIS is true salvation...which is sadly false. Cut away body from soul A slave freed from his master Closing the spirit's eye to embrace this earthly tie another deception of the devil, blinding you of the truthfullness of the spirit, thus causing you to only see fleshful things...how many christians here can say that there co-workers, school mates would look at you weird if you said straight up (i believe in the supernatural)...well people i know would think im crazy. so in short this is talking about how blind we can be and how ignorant we can be to freed (falsely) by the wrong person) 666 Doesnt need to much discription, this is here i think to really set the mood and get you thinking...where are you..who do you see as your above, sadly many athiests or even thiests of non-christian decent (in my opinion anyway take it or leave it) are blind to the reality of christ and god himself, and if you dont serve god sadly the alternative isnt based on your attitude, its based on your fruits (matthew 7:21 i think) The earth it shall burn bright tonight in our eyes The earth it shall burn right into our eye on this very night Praise the war machine Burn tonight Even as the world burns away and satan laughs standing beside us, we still assume its just the way it was suppost to go...we are that blind without the awakening of the lord, some people said consequences i say our ignorance to the free way out. This song by the meaning I have laid out makes me want to try and reach more people..so they wont suffer any fate like this...friends or enemies..no one deserves this punishment. |

| As I Lay Dying – An Ocean Between Us Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| i like walnuts1 view on it, actually i think that is pretty spot on, i was listening to it thinking perhaps it was talking about how he was an ocean between sin, and perhaps he wouldn't stand in the dream of sin, but walnuts1 interpretation is much better haha. | |
