I'd love it if we can stop talking about the word "allah" and start talking about the message of this song. The word "God" means any god and yet Christians use it to refer to a specific God (the trinity) so language is a moot point here. I think the line "What effect is without a cause" is referring more to the fulfillment of Christ as an atonement for sin. Christ was the effect even though he was not the cause, we were. Also I think that line ties in with the one a few after it, "There's a love that never changes", identifying God's love for us as an "effect without a cause" because it's unchanging regardless of our love for Him. I'm particularly interested in the last part of this song, the words "It's all crazy, It's all false, It's all a dream, It's alright." I'm not sure what that pertains to, maybe it's supposed to be a contrast to the first part where he is saying "Allah in everywhere we look" to show that even though God is in everywhere we look, we can't expect "everywhere were look" to fill us with God's presence because this world is fleeting and deceptive. Would love to hear what people think of this particular verse. |

I think he's describing a time when reading a book he hasn't read in a long time brought back memories of his youth that he had forgotten, possibly also memories of being with someone. To me, it reminds me of how unfamiliar something becomes that was once so familiar, but how quickly something of that era of my life can bring back vivid memories of it. The ending I think is the regret that comes with that flood of memories. He's telling himself that just as reading the book feels familiar, yet he can't really remember it, given enough time he'll be healed from the regret he's feeling and be able to move on again. To me, using the analogy of reading a book again after a long time to being in love again after a long time is beyond genius. |
