| Sufjan Stevens – To Be Alone with You Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I think Sufjan Stevens is an incredible songwriter and although I myself am agnostic, I like his lyrics and their meaning and I think every artist should be able to express their faiths if they so choose (as long as it doesn't hurt anyone in the process). Pemberleytea may have come across as a little snobby about their faith but it doesn't mean you should start dissing their religion. Lyrics are about the expression of the artist, if you don't like it, don't listen to it No matter what this song is beautiful x |

| Bat for Lashes – I Saw A Light Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
might seem obvious, but the song seems to be about crossing over ("I Saw A Light"... The Little Children Sleepwalking are those in Limbo or Purgatory perhaps, waiting for their turn? Soon resolved by "The Children Went To Sleep" meaning they were finally at rest. She packs her things ready to cross over herself, I'm not sure if she does or not due to the conflicting "I saw a light, Getting smaller in the distance" and the last line: "And I said goodbye"... anyone got any idea? Im guessing she didn't get to go, but she wanted to so badly. Death in your arms seems to be the main theme, meaning when she holds this person she's in love with she is so overcome with emotions she feels like she has died and she wants to remain that way for eternity. Because that light gave her life, she realises it is not her time and maybe time to leave this person she is with because he has given her back her emotions so dramatically, but he is bad for her so she says Goodbye, before she becomes like the couple in the car - so in love with each other that they died together x |
