| VNV Nation – Joy Lyrics | 17 years ago |

Though none of you have mentioned it, alot of people just see in this song the idea that there is no God, due to the phrases "is my soul not mine", "am I not man", "I choose my way", "not Heaven or Hell", and "no Lord no God". I see alot of VNV songs as arguments for both sides of whether or not to believe in God, which is what adds the strong impression of spirituality to their music. If this is indeed what the song pertains to, I think everything beyond the "there is no God" message is totally ignored. You will notice, most of those above ideas (from the beginning of the song) are in the form of a question, not a statement. That means the narrator is unsure of them. He then goes on to question them with the chorus. Both the questions, "when is my work done?" and Why do I feel... that I carry a sword through a battlefield?" seem to represent to me, that if there truly is no higher power and it's just him, here on earth, then WHY does he feel this sense of higher purpose? If he truly believes that the path that he chooses is all that matters because this life is all there is, then WHY does he feel a need to fight for something else, something bigger--the metaphorical battlefield? And also... a person in pain only has reason to hate. So what creates the love that he feels even when he's hurting? I also think the same general idea could apply without concerning God. That rather than questioning whether there is a God, the song may just be about where the depth of the human soul and capacity for love comes from. Just about all VNV songs can have a myriad of interpretations, because of their level of spirituality... this is just the one that I have adopted as a result of the opinions of it that I have seen. *Ayverie* |

Some of you kind of scared me with how you interpreted this, especially those who spoke of AFI being satanic O.o And honestly, I never saw sex in this myself at all, though I suppose it fits from what you all have said. I came here to see what this song might mean, rather than to share my opinion, cause I really had no idea before I read the comments... although I am still not 100% comfortable with any of the interpretations >.< Just thought it was a beautiful song :) |

| Angels and Airwaves – A Little's Enough Lyrics | 17 years ago |

I think people tend to look way too much at the chorus of this song rather than that with the rest of the context of the song together. I think the beginning couple of lines, before talking about God, is just to make you think about how amazing it would be if all the world's problems could just be cured. After this, it introduces the idea of God doing this, solving all problems and basically creating a perfect world. The next section kind of makes me think of the end times, when God would be coming back to the world... talking about the difference in reaction of adults and children. Though the adults are skeptic, God saves all children, because they are innocent. Also, "those who knew braced for the ride" also relates to the end times, because Christians would realize that God has returned and they are going to heaven now. The chorus kind of connects back to the beginning, that things arent perfect. But the narrator promises that if you are sad, all you must do is let yourself be touched by God's love... and that will be enough. The dream may not be real, but letting yourself know God will be enough for you to experience that same feeling of love and awe. |
