This song is quite direct and forward. The whole purpose is just to say that we have to look at how we throw harmfull words around without any caution. Calling someone a faggot may not be meant as bad as it can be taken. Someone that's having a tough time w/their sexuality may hear that word and feel more pushed away by society. The lingering "I can't change" is done so elegantly that it reminds us that whether studies, science, religion or anyting says...it's not something you can just change. Love is natural and easier than hate. Yet those who love the same sex are oppressed and judged faster than anyone. The line about the holy water being poison is referencing sermons that spew hate instead of love. Most religions preach love and compassion over everything else. This song is the best track on the entire CD. I was blown away when I heard it. This is my 10th time hearing it tonight. |

Before I start let me say I am a christian but I am not educated in the bible. I believe in God and Jesus. Directly below that I believe i love above all else. You are taking it out of context. The song says If you preach hate...then that holy water is poisoned. This song is about LOVING and accepting people. We all sin, no sin is greater than another. We aren't asked to judge others, although we all do. Marriage has benefits that aren't just religious...therefore it isn't a religious choice for everyone.. He's saying that we've taken offensive words and numbed ourselves so much to where we don't realize we could be using hateful terms. Example.... Someone that is too scared to come out of the closet here's someone say " blah blah FAGGOT" that just adds to the pressure. I think its similar to calling someone retarded. Someone with a mentally ill child could hear that and take offense. We can't always walk on egg shells but we can learn to love and respect each other. |

To me this song is about someone that was in a relationship They were obviously hurt badly, everyone can agree on that. The things that you think about at night would be the relationship, the love you never will seem to have. The pain is seemingly the ONLY thing is real b/c this person is living with a lot of pain and the happy things don't seem to stay. "go towards the light" - when you die some people say you see a light...heaven "the dark has no place here" - i think this is saying that their is nothing left in life "Did you ever think that we would get this high, Pull back the sheets, to find an ending, That you prayed for." - people never think that someoen will actually commit suicide, then its a shock (this high?) You pull back the sheets to see that the person is now dead. A lot of times you'll here the cliche' "I wish he/she was dead" or something along those lines. I could be wrong, but the song def does not have to be about him/nor his life. |
