| Jack Johnson – Hope Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I don't think this song is about religion, or love. I think it's about hope. haha. go figure. at the beginning he talks about how your shadow walks faster than you, almost like saying that the future is controlled by the past, shadow symbolizing the past. it talks about how 'it' is gonna lift you up and let you down. defeat you then teach you to get back up like hope? then it 'takes away all that you learned to love' like your ideals? your hopes? your reflection is a blur, out of focus, in confusion, symbolizing maybe, that we don't know what we are becoming? and everyone's favorite line 'you don't always have to hold your head higher than your heart' is about how sometimes, even when something doesn't seem rational, we should still hope for it and reach for it. We should think with our hearts, basically. as for 'you'd better hope you're not alone,' I have to agree with what some of the people above me said. I guess I think it's about hoping that we're not alone, and that there is a God. aka, faith, which is very closely related to hope. |

wow... i didn't realize that this was like a six year conversation until after I posted... my comment refers to the ones I saw on the first page. haha note to self: be more observant next time... but I do have to add that after reading some of the eight pages of comments, I really think a lot of people missed the lesson in history where the constitution came in..... and the history of monotheistic religions.... I'm pretty disappointed is all. |

first of all, I have to agree with the people above me that said that if you don't like relient k, then don't listen to them. but as far as bigwillystyle's comment, that really got to me. first of all, you're dumb. I'm sorry, but if you think that christian music should be restricted to the church, then you're dumb. Most of the US is christian, so even if the government tried that, it would never end up working. I mean seriously, why favor the minorities? also, there is this thing called the first amendment that says that bands like relient k can play their songs outside of church. Anyone and everyone can say what they want, and frankly, relient k's songs aren't offensive to non-christians at all, so I don't really know what your deal is. and bigwillystyle, I must add GOD BLESS YOU(: |

| Relient K – Failure To Excommunicate Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I think this song is about dirty politicians who could care less about the average american, and people who follow in the dirty politician's footsteps. It's saying that as long as yuo have jesus, it doesn't matter that you're outcasted on earth, they can't excommunicate you in heaven. failure to excommunicate. |

| Relient K – Be My Escape Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
The beauty of this song is that it's open to interpretation. All songs are, in a sense, poetry, and if you get something positive out of them, then why does it matter if that's what the artist originally meant? That's why wordplay is such an essential element to truly great music. This song did make me think of God though, and I have to say, I totally can relate to how they feel. relient k has done it again. |

| I'm pretty sure that the words are "found her on my shoulder cryin'" basically, 'my' instead of 'the'. | |
| Jason Mraz – Details In The Fabric Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I have to say, I really like this song. I think the meaning is basically straightforward in this song, and I really like the lullaby feel of it. | |
| Jason Mraz – Live High Lyrics | 17 years ago |

I think this song is completely religious, and about God. I like the second verse best, because it's the most difficult. It's saying that the human race is good by nature (And see him as matter, matter of fact he’s not a beast/But oh not the devil either/He’s always a good deed doer). He backs this up by saying that it's laughter that we're making after all. By that, I think he means that we strive for laughter, and goodness, and good things. He then goes on to say that the call of the wild is still in order nationwide. I think that by that he means that there's a call for a utopia, (world peace, perfect world, you know the deal). the next line perplexes me, but if i had to guess that he's comparing our politics to that of animals.... saying that our politicians are corrupt maybe? The next two lines are about God, and how the congregations sing to him and praise him and tell him how much they love him. I also have to say that I like the second stanza. It's basically saying, so what if life itself is an illusion? Life is a GREAT gift, and we should live high. :) |

| Panic! at the Disco – Behind the Sea (Album Version) Lyrics | 17 years ago |

I think most of you are being too literal with this song. If you've listened to most of patd's music, you'd understand that they write mostly in metaphor. I personally think that this whole song is a metaphor for death. The people on the boat are the dead, heading towards the afterlife. 'toast the fine folks casting silver crumbs to us from the dock' is all the people that miss the dead, and are the silver crumbs may be representing tears that they cried? I think 'behind the sea' might be a metaphor for the earth itself. 'and boy did they have fun behind the sea' is like saying boy we have a great time on earth. this might seem like kind of a stretch if it weren't for the rest of the chorus. where it says 'our matching legs are marching clocks' I think this means that with each day we live, we get closer to death? (the 'marching clocks'... our time is running out.) then it goes on to say that we're all too small to talk to God, and we're all too smart to talk to God. however, I know that this isn't what patd actually thinks because they specifically said "they sang." "they" refers to the people on earth having this great time, but who think that they are too small for God to care about them, or that they are too smart to actually believe in something as ridiculous as a God. this song is really deep, so I don't get all of the references, but I think the watermelon smiles thing might mean that just like water is a barrier between the watermelons and the air, 'the sea' is the barrier between us and something greater (God). and the watermelon 'smiles' thing might mean that God is good? This is just what I think, but just like all great poetry, this song is definitely open to interpretation, and I think that that is exactly what panic wants, for you to THINK about their lyrics. and thats what sets them apart from 'soulja boi' and 'this is why I'm hot.' I'm very sorry my comment is so obnoxiously long. and by the way, I LOVE ryan ross's voice. Brendon Urie has some great pipes too, but this song was definitely made for ryan. |

oh and also, I can't remember who said this and I'm too lazy to go back and look, but all the references to toy soldiers also make me think that they're trying to say that we're like God's soldiers. it makes sense. |
