| Woven Hand – Blue Pail Fever Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
It's about the lowly submission required to be a follower of Christ. He wants for God's will to be done alone (as is apparent in the first half of the first stanza, and the chorus), but is a sinful, fleshy human, as we all are. The first half of the second stanza is about when sacrament becomes ritual. God ridiculed the Jews in Isaiah for making sacrifices but not having their heart in it. Christ is the model for every Christian, and as such he compares his trials to those of Jesus. It comes from 1 Peter 2:23 The empty house is his lostness without God, so the voice in an empty house is God working through someone who is empty without Him. The leaf part comes from Isaiah 64:4: "But we are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; we all fade as a leaf. and our iniquities like the wind, has taken us away" the last part of the last stanza is halfway a John 3:16 reference, and notes that it is up to us to submit to the will of God (for now anyway) |

| ira, gula, and luxuria are the latin words for wrath, gluttony, and lust; three of the seven deadly sins. Yeshua is the hebrew name for Jesus (the name "Jesus" comes from a greek root). | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Disarm Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| It's about being lost, confused, and misunderstood. nobody reaches out. It's about being meek and longing like a little boy deep down but lashing out in confusion. Nobody cares, nobody wants to understand. He hurts other people because of his insecurities, particularly girls. he disarms them with a smile, so that they open up to him and want to be with him, but as soon as things get serious he gets scared and lashes out, pushing them away just like everyone pushed him away. so he becomes just like all the people that hurt him. "the killer in me is the killer in you" | |

| Regina Spektor – Après Moi Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Its about the French revolution, from the perspective of the upper class and, more specifically, French Royalty. nobody knows for sure if it was Louis XV or Madame de Pompadour who said it, but either way, apres moi le deluge means after me comes the flood. This meant that after him/her, the nation would fall apart(revolution). The first stanza of the song is about the duties of royalty and that they feel obligated to continue the reign and the monarchy. the lame, the old, and the cold are the lower class. and they were to inherit everything the upper class had. it is a warning to French royalty and nobility. Regina throws in the part from the poem because in February 1789, Louis XVI brought together an assembly of notables in order to try and fix the country's problems. The assembly only ended up causing rifts in Government and Nobility, and decreasing the King's power. |
