| Why? – These Few Presidents Lyrics
| 15 years ago
|
|
Am I the only one who thinks that "these few presidents frowning in my pocket" might be referring to bills? Like, money? How that applies to the meaning of the song, I've yet to determine, but I think it's a definite possibility. |

| Sufjan Stevens – For the Widows in Paradise, for the Fatherless in Ypsilanti Lyrics
| 16 years ago

I think the reality of multiple meanings and Christian undertones has already been firmly established, and I'm quite happy with both ideas.
The thing is, Christianity has become so repugnant to so many people, but artists like Sufjan have a way of transforming it into something that's so identifiable and human.
I'm not really a Christian, but I prefer to believe that the Christian interpretation is, in fact, one of several actual meanings. Given the story it tells, religious inclinations aside, that makes it all the more beautiful. |

Actually, I think it is "cross his palm", and, despite the song title, I think what follows is "my first born with a song." As in, this is the exchange he's making with the king, you know? |
