| Enya – Ebudae Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
Continuing what Emily Solo wrote, here is what Roma Ryan herself has to say of the song: This piece is an interesting piece for me. There are two aspects to this song. The idea for Enya and Nicky was one of rhythm, one loosely based on the rhythm of looms, while weaving. So the essence of the song for Nicky and Enya was rhythm as opposed to meaning, and although they gave me the sounds they wanted and I put my own meaning to them. So, the lyrics however, do have meaning for us. I was very much inspired by the story of a poet who learnt Persian. He learnt the language from a Sea Captain who had sojourned in his city for a while. The Captain, in time, had to leave. But the poet continued writing in this new language he had just mastered only to discover, to his horror, that he was not writing in Persian at all. In fact he was not writing in any known language. He was writing in a language that only he understood, for the captain had, in time, forgotten all their conversations. I loved the idea that he was the only one in the world who could understand what was written, and that is why the lyrics for this song have never appeared, other than the chorus which is in Irish, and which can be understood. |

| Regina Spektor – The Party Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Just wanted to get in here before someone types "I can't believe no one has commented yet!" because I hate it when people say that. It's not THAT hard to believe no one's said anything about a song, people. Someone has to be the first commenter, and it's obviously you. But not now. I win this time. | |
| Florence + the Machine – All This and Heaven Too Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
This is what I hear: ------------------- And the heart is hard to translate; it has a language of its own. It talks in tongues, and quiet sighs, in prayers and proclamations. In the grand deeds of great men, and the smallest of gestures. In short, shallow gasps. But with all my education I can't seem to commend it. (I don't think the word is "command". The "it" is love throughout the song. So why would "it", for only one sentence, change to mean language?) And the words are all escaping and coming back all damaged. And I would put them back in poetry if I only knew how. I can't seem to understand it. And I would give all this and heaven, too. I would give it all if only for a moment that I could just understand the meaning of the word, you see, 'cause I've been scrawling it forever but it never makes sense to me at all. And it talks to me, it tiptoes, and sings to me inside. It cries out in the darkest night and breaks in morning light. But with all my education I can't seem to commend it. And the words are all escaping and coming back all damaged. And I would put them back in poetry if I only knew how. I can't seem to understand it. And I would give all this and heaven, too. I would give it all if only for a moment that I could just understand the meaning of the word, you see, 'cause I've been scrawling it forever but it never makes sense to me at all. And I would give all this and heaven, too. I would give it all if only for a moment that I could just understand the meaning of the word, you see, 'cause I've been scrawling it forever but it never makes sense to me at all. And oh! words, poor language - it doesn't deserve such treatment! And all my stumbling phrases never amounted to anything worth this feeling! All this heaven never could describe such a feeling as I feel/as I'm here/as I heal. (not sure about the last word) And words were never so useful, so I was screaming out a language that I never knew existed before! |

Considering the fact that this is not the first time I offended someone who practices Catholicism (assuming you do), perhaps I speak too quickly without considering others. I do not like that this is an opportunity for someone who opposes faith to point and say "Look at what religion causes! Arguments!" So let me restate my interpretation: This lyrics to me seems to be from the point of a view of a person trying to escape something. We do not know what. However, with the Yrasor version, we have the rosary being recited throughout the song and by the end it is being played backwards. Perhaps this means that the person in the song is trying to escape a system where people use Catholicism to control others. If that offends someone, so be it. It is what I think and that is all. |

I am a person of faith and am far from an "accept everything" liberal. But wait... S&M sessions? Liberals? What are you insinuating? Are these.... are these insults? Are you judging these practices? Gasp! I hope you don't offend anyone! As I said: hypocrisy. Tolerance and acceptance are two different things. I will tolerate others' existence, but I do not have to accept anything about them. I doubt newborns made the choice to attend a ceremony and to have water trickled onto their head. |

| Stop being a hypocryte. Just as you have freewill to believe what you want, people have freewill to have an opinion and to share it on a site meant for doing just that. And for your information, I did not say anyone worshiped the Pope. And for the record, if it's ALL about choice, then I should have been allowed to say this without anyone replying with an insult. I could have talked about Joseph Smith, or the Phelps family, or Jim Jones, but the song has the rosary playing BACKWARDS for crying out loud. | |

I always have the image of a person in a cult repeating these words in their head. The leaders are trying to "build walls" to keep this person in but they are the bad weed and bad weeds grow tall; they will escape. "Grow tall skin" meaning to grow thick skin to not believe the lies, perhaps? Maybe the word "cult" doesn't work here. The Yrasor version has the Catholic rosary in it. Perhaps this person is trying to escape the Pope and his minions? Maybe it's a nun! Ha. |

Vacuum of god = a black hole? Someone disappeared perhaps? Not in a missing person type of way, but in a "they left" or even an "I'm ridding you from my life" kind of way. |

My favorite part of the song. "If I had a bill for all the philosophies I shared" -She has shared so many philosophies in this relationship, if she had a dollar for every one of them, she's be rich. "If I had a penny for all the possibilities I presented" -She has presented so many possibilities in this relationship, if she had a penny for every one of them, she'd be rich. "If I had a dime for every hand thrown up in the air" -Are you seeing a pattern? She is saying that so much has been done for this relationship, if she had a dollar, a penny, or a dime for every single thing that has been done and all the time spent on this relationship, she'd be extremely rich. "My wealth would render this no less severe" -However, all the money in the world would not make this situation (the end of the relationship) less painful and severe. |

He is God. Why would it matter if some random man died for us? It would mean nothing unless it was God. The Bible is obvious about this fact. If you care to see where: http://carm.org/bible-verses-show-jesus-divine :) |

I assumed it was about a death. Reminds me of Sarah McLachlan's "Wintersong". Both of the songs are great and so very sad. Love it when the "Mornings in April" part comes in... :) |

From her official site: Got to get on it Bodies disengage, our mouths are fleshing over As hiss and echo gain, irises retreat into ovals of white The urge to feel your face, in blood, rushing to paint my hand print And Frisbee one by one, your vinyl on laminate I’m desperate for some kind of contact. First train home, I’ve got to get on it Got to catch, to catch, to catch, catch, catch the… First train home Temporal dead zone where clocks are barely breathing Yet no one cares to notice for all their yamming on, I calm up to hold it together I want to Play-Do waveforms in the hideaway I want to get on with getting on with things I can’t do any of that here can I? So what, you’ve had one too many So what, I’m not that much fun to be with So what, you’ve got a silly hat on. So what, I didn’t want to come here anyway What matters to you, it doesn’t matter, matter to me What matters to me, doesn’t matter, matter to you What matters to you, doesn’t matter, matter to them What matters to them, it doesn’t change anything. Got to get out now |

"...for in that sleep of death what dreams may come..." act III, scene I, of Shakespeare's "Hamlet" (from the "To be or not to be" part!) I wonder if she got her line from that? :) |

It sounds like how one might feel upon entering heaven. I know Imogen probably didn't write it to be about that, but she was talking about Narnia, and the books are very much Christian influenced. Either way, I love to listen to this and think about how great heaven is going to be. I'm so excited! Huzzah for Jesus! :) Anyway, beautiful song, by an amazing artist! |
