| Funeral – Vagrant God Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Without a doubt my favorite song on the album. The last line "Only his death would have them saved" is just amazing. | |

@ sandra, I think so too. Also, when he says the very last line in the song, it's just....chilling. That's the best word I can think of to describe it. Really good song. |

| Such a good band. Too bad they are crazier than shit jeezus freaks. It sort of detracts from their music. | |
| Van Halen – Mine All Mine Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
This has always been on of my favorite Van Halen songs, but recently the lyrics mean much more to me than before. I was raised in a Christian household, but a lot of it never made much sense to me. Over the past couple of years, and after many debates with myself, I have decided that belief in God, any God that is, is ridiculous. I have decided, on my own, that I am an Atheist. I have found what is "Mine All Mine." This is what the song means to me... Forgive me father For I have sinned I've been through hell and back again Shook hands with the devil Looked him in the eye Looked like a long lost friend Anything you want Any dirty deeds He's got everything Except what I really need Keepin' me temporarily satisfied But not one thing I tried Filled me up inside Or felt like mine At the start, the writer is in confession and obviously religious. He's basically saying "I've done all the 'sinful' stuff, and I liked it for a while, but I'm still feelin a tad empty. This isn't really MY thing, ya know?" Yeah, the search goes on But the more I look My world keeps getting smaller I'm trying, I'm looking in all this religious stuff for something that'll be mine, something I can take away from it for myself, something to complete me. But the more I look, less and less of it makes sense. "My world," my way of life that I've been taught my whole life is falling apart, becoming smaller, because the harder I look at it, the more I find myself rejecting it, and the more questions I have. Staring at the sun (Son?) Searchin' for the light Almost ended up blind I really don't know if the writer intended for "sun" to mean "son," or Jesus, but it very possibly could. I think he means, "I've looked and looked for what's supposed to be so great about this religion, about this "God." I've tried to see what so many others see, (the light) and almost became a brainwashed scripture-vomiting robot. I almost became blind the the many things the religious person is: Logic, Reason, Thinking for yourself, etc. Some only see What they want to see Claiming victory Oh, but that's not me I think this just refers to how close-minded religious types are. They tend to see the world the way they were taught to see it, and can't seem to see it for what it is. They are quick to reject anything other than the way they see it, because the way they see it is the only correct way. "Oh, but that's not me." Damn skippy it's not. Give me truth Give me something real I just want to feel Like it's Mine, all mine Give me the truth, cause this religion stuff is B.S. Give me something real, something I can see for myself, something I don't have to believe in blindly. All the words on the wall Look the same in the mirror Every riddle Every clue All of these religious texts, from all of these different religions, are basically the same crap. You got Allah in the east You got Jesus in the west Christ, what's a man to do? These people believe one thing, and these other people believe something else. How am I supposed to know that one is correct? If one IS correct, then one has to be wrong. Maybe they're all wrong? They'll find a cure for anything Just kill the pain Numb my brain They'll tell you that God can do anything!!! Any problem you have, God can fix it. But your ability to think rationally, for yourself, may be lost. We see a man Speaking the word of God Provin' to be a fraud His own church applauds I think this goes along with "Some only see what they wanna see." Many see church leaders as infallible. Even when they prove that they are just as human and full of flaws as anyone else, their church doesn't care. They still hold them as high as they always did. Stop lookin' out Start lookin' in Stop looking for what makes others happy, or for what others tell you will make you happy, start looking within yourself. What do YOU want? What will make YOU happy? And when you find it... Be your own best friend Stand up and say Hey! This is mine Don't let anyone shoot you down, be proud of it, don't let anyone tell you that you're wrong. It's yours, you've found it for yourself, don't let anyone take it from you. That's what the song means to me. |
