Opeth – Hope Leaves Lyrics 17 years ago
im sure this was probably inspired by his grandmother, but i love how he keeps it vague. it lets the listener put their own meaning on it, and im sure anyone who has experienced the loos of a loved one can relate to this on some level.

Agalloch – In The Shadow Of Our Pale Companion Lyrics 17 years ago
i kind of took this song to be about nature, and seeing nature as god, hence the lines
"Here I gaze at a pantheon of oak, a citadel of stone
If this grand panorama before me is what you call God. . .
Then God is not dead." this makes me picture standing on top of a mountain (the citadel of stone) and staring down at a vast forrest (the pantheon of oak). he then realizes that humans are destroying this and decides to kill himself, either out of guilt for being associated with mankind, or simply because he can't bare to see nature destroyed
