because I know all about this stuff just kidding but this is my interpretation. I think that the door without a key and a fild without a fence is discribing a new understanding of God. Through out the cd he talks about a dificaulty with God. He talks about how he can not hear him and in the sun and the moon song. He talks about wanting to be ok with the nature of God. In these lines he came to the understanding that God can be put in a neet little box as much as we want him to fit into a nice little understanding. "I love the part where he sais you made a holy fool of me and I think you ever sence." I know when you question everything you end up relizing that every thing you thought was true probably isnt. It is good to be humble. To be in a constant state of learning and not a self obsorbed or pretending that God does not see you |

to Sepron. Hmmm. Birth and death of what. Like the span of life itself or something else? Faith? I wonder if this song is not about unneded suffering that we see others face. It is hard to grasp sometimes. Why people go through what they do. I think that is what the dieing mice represent. I agree to the other coment earlier very Sufjan Stevans, lyricly. In the yellow spider song its, the faith seems to be going well for him. He is pondering heaven and such. Then in the last song his faith is dead. The sweater poorly knit. He comes to the realization that God is, even though it hurts and he is worth following. |

| I love how in this song he says the same words like he knows it and it moves him from the bottom of his being then he says the words as if he is sick of saying them....brilliant | |
| mewithoutYou – The Dryness and the Rain Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Also the stuff about mutual surrender. Things being in harmony with one another. Any one else think this is about a mutual peace or want of a mutual peace with each other and God when he does not have that? I think this whole CD has a strong feeling of struggle with God. A lot of the other songs in their old stuff has that too but not as much as this one | |

I wonder if this song was not slightly inspired from a story about moses. I don't know where it is but there is a part where he sais that God was not in the storm or the really big things but he was in the wind. or it could be how he was wondering where God was in the caous but found him in everything simple. To all the other comments I heard someone quote this lady once and again I don't know who said it but any way it was this catholic women and she said "I am not a cathlic as in other are protistants, I am a catholic as in others are athiest." I not sure where I fall doctrinly but I love this quote. To me this is saying that God is and I want to know him. Its not about being caught up in a certain religion it is about knowing God and that it is it. In Christianity we believe in the trinity "Father, son and holy spirit" The father means father is everywere and is in everything. the son is God with us and the spirit is God that dwells in us. I think that is really interesting because it makes me undurstand God in three facits. He is in the air that we breath and we can understand him relationaly and be so close that he is actually in us. I love the part in the bible where it talk about Jesus. Jesus says that "I am the way the truth and the life no one comes to the father exept through me. If you know me you will know the father as well." I think that is really intersting because he is saying hey what I came to earth to help the people understand how God thinks and acts. |

ok, you sin people crack me up. There is something further beyond staying away from sin and I think this band dives into that big time. I think this is about Christian culture. I think that mabye the light in broad day has to do with Christians who get in there little christian buble and try to stay out of the darkness. "call me outside I will come running down into your vacent intoxicating night" He talking about a total change in the system. It is though he telling someone of his plans. Some strait lined christian. Who is watching the world pass buy through there blindes and they are speachless at the end. |

| mewithoutYou – Leaf Lyrics | 17 years ago |

"If you fail to see the problem (which I find hard to believe) or if your hanging from the branches licking honey from the leaves" This part I think is about people who seem to have everthing going ok. These lines seem to have a care free quality about them. mabey even children playing in a tree "You say the hopelessness of living is the childishness of suicide but there is a call to love my brother that can never be destroyed" This part to me is about how we find hope and meaning to life when there we are selfless. Love is very selfless. "how ever much you talk , however much you strut around, how ever load you sing the shinning one inside you won't say any thing." Sometimes as christians we go times where we think that if we get more into the bible or if we talk about Jesus all the time that God will speak to us. Its though if we do our little things if we pray a little harder God will speak and let it seems as though at times he does not. "Oh, to want one thing! Purity of heart is to want one thing!" I think the post directly above me said it well. "You'll Remind me that I said you where a quite bed in all my rest-I was charming you at best!" I think he was remembering a good time "spiritual high" in his faith. He is starting to think well mabey it was just some feeling I had trying to have God look highly upon him. "and you remember dear when I said that 'your coming here was a terrible Fall' as we crept like theives along your bedroom hall" hmmm, interesting not real certain about this part. Any one have any ideas. The next few lines as well.Mabey something allong the lines of as Christians we have a hard time grasping God. The earlier part of the song talks about that as well. It was a terible fall because he thought he had grasped what it means to know God then he came to a realisation that he did not. The thieves part is mabey how we thing we can hide our selves and our intentions from God. "I'd come to tuch your eyelids. But if you stay up to late I will through you back into the cuboard with all the chiped and dirty plates." realy confused, I am not sure if this is him talking to God or God talking to him. I think the rest of the song is him trying to reconsile himself with God. I am not sure why he would try to tuch God's eyelids but mabey he throughing God in the cuboard with all the chiped and dirty plates is about how he is just throughing him in with the other things that he strugles with. The things that are dirty and one will bring out later. "like a carnivel game with a ruber ring, even if you win, even then you don't win." This part is really cool. I think there are times in your faith where you come to realizations and God ultimatly is but your like ok this is not going to last very long before again I am so confussed yet again with the infanate. Also I think it could also mean that we come to realisations but they do not really satisfy us. "All I want is one thing!" I love that he ends the song this way because it shows that he really does want to know God and know him purly |

as I go showing off again, self impressed by how well I can put myself down!! and then go again, to the next further removed level of that same exact feigned humility!!!) I think I like this part the best. I think this is about how as a christian we are supposed to be humble but then we try to impress each other by how humble we are. twisted but oh so true. Oh, to just be and want to know God purely |

Your flavor in my mind swings back and forth between sweeter than any wine, and bitter as mustard greens Light and dark as honeydew and pumpernickle bread The trap I set for you seems to have caught my leg instead So, something I love about mewithoutyou is how honest they are about the ugly side of being a Christian. I love these lines above. One thing that is a really good example of this for me is hell. I really strugle strongly with the idea of hell. I have a hard time grasping that God is a good God if there is a hell that people will go to. I think that we have our choice yes but I have friends that where Christians and now are not any more because of suffering in there own lives and could no longer grasp God. How could he send them to hell. And yet the bible sais that in order to get into heaven you must believe in Christ. Things just do not match up with me. How could a good God say something like that. I know I personaly have had hard times and cried out to God and it he seemed to not answer me. Then I come acrost something and I am blown away by something beautiful with in being a christian or what ever I am. There was a time that I was praying and I told God that if he did not send people to hell then we where cool and if he did I might just want to be there with the rest of the hell goers. Then I thought well, who am I to tell God who he should be. "The trap has caught my leg instead." so I am still left confused and made been brought down a few notches. God made a holly fool of me and I am thankful. |

This song brings chills down my spine. I love the analogy of us being the basket and God being the guiding hand. We think that we are the ones that will change the world but we are not we can simply stich up teres where we find them. I love the line in the song where it sais "Until all comfort and fear flows in one river Down on the shelf by the mirror where you see yourself whole And it makes you shiver" I love this point in the song because I think all of us want to come to this point. To see our selves whole and that only God can do. I love the live about being turn from wine to water then back to wine. I think it means that we every thing was right then for some reason every thing was not right and then God made her right again. beautifully worded |

so, I had this song all anallised out and it would not post. I am a little pissed about it at the moment. I will get over it. I think this song is about folling the rythem of life as a Christian. One thing that I hear Christians say that make me grimice a little inside when ever I hear it is when they say, "oh we have to witness to others through our actions so we better get our act together." I think this is such bs. Not only is this exrteemly face it is not healthy because you are someone who you are not. In the bible after the part about the dancing and the morning it talks about how Jesus was talking to the pharissis and they where getting on to John the Babtist for not eating and drinking saying that he was demom posessed and on Jesus for eating and Drinking calling him a glunten and a drunkard. I think this part of the bible is about how we think christianity is some subscribtion that we have to follow but its not its a rythem. A dance to follow. Its about allowing our selves to be messed up and allowing others to see that we are messed up. Then slowly God takes away the burden of being so messed up so that we can breath again. We keep thinking we have have to protect our selves from the outside of the "christian relm" ha, Oh God. We are just as messed up as them but we can learn how to dance to accept our selves as messed up let God forgive us for being so messed up and then watch as in the midst of our dancing we learn to become a little less messed up. please post |

| mewithoutYou – A Glass Can Only Spill What It Contains Lyrics | 17 years ago |

I think this is a song about being real with God. It starts out with the cat thing in which someone mentioned earlier is about how we think we can hide our thoughts and fealings from God but we can't. I used to hate that concept because it made me feel guilty but I think it is a good thing now because You can be gut level honest with God. The peacock is about how we puff up. We come to this place where we think we know a thing or two about what it means to be a Christian. (God has a strange way of bringing us down and realising we know nothing) I don't think the part where he sais "I half-heartedly explained but gave up peacefully ashamed" is about witnessing. I think it is about confussion and not being able to express the depth of the emotion that goes on with it. IE "no body knows me" The last part is my absolute favorite. When I realised what the words where at the end of this song I started crying because I know them all to well. This is about desperation to hear God. I know personally I have been asking a lot of questions of God lately. It is not something I can really help they are just there. I have to face them or give up on God compleatly. I think that is why the cat thing is so cool to me. God knows me and my desperation to understand who he is. any way I ask and I ask and he does not answer me. The things that are heavy on my mind "the unquestionable is questioned but remains no reply." Then when I am not quite expecting it, God speaks to me. But it is never very loud its in "the shadows and the mist" Iam sitting there going was that God, was that me, Know that was not me. What he tells me is unsettling but is ultimatly God. The I have an unsettiling question again. being gut level honest hurts so much but so beautiful at the same time. |
