It's really terrible what your mom went through, but after all that, she made it through and was able to have you, and able to raise you to who you are today. And that is definitely something. And hopefully through all of tha she could instill a sense of heightened appreciation in you. After all, Isaac did end up finding God in the song, seeing how that's the name of the song. But it took sometime to look for him. She prayed, and maybe you were the answer to her prayers. Maybe you helped her, and still do to this day. It's all up to you to see how you wanna look at it, or if you wanna look at all. It's just that the relationship between a mother and a child or father and a child and the love there is between them, makes it hard to believe that there isn't something bigger going on. |

wow this was a really beautiful interpretation of it i hadn't really thought about it that way and it makes complete sense. i'm leading a retreat in a couple days called Kairos and i'm giving the talk "Search for God" and i'm using this song at the beginning of my talk and the way you described it is exactly the message i want to convey to the people who are hearing it. That we do need the pain to experience the healing, so that we might be able to find God, and even though it might have not been visible at the dark time, he was "surrounding" us the entire time. This is a really interesting perspective but what i think makes this song so great is that it can be interpreted in so many ways, and that is what art truly is. It speaks to us how we want it to, how we need it to, and that is our own personal God talking to us. |

I'd agree that some facets of religion are hypocritical, but thats why it's left up to our will to decide what we want to believe. I think though, as the song could relate, that without the selfishness and cruelty in the world, we wouldn't have selflessness and kindness to overcome it. And I think that's the Fray's story in this song, their journey back. |

3xX, you say you have been through some difficult circumstances, and have trouble fighting your demons, yet you still believe in the a higher power that helps your friends and family. But you do not believe in God? To me it sounds like you certainly believe in something. That higher power you speak of is God. It doesn't have to be a man in the sky with a beard watching when we screw up or playing puppeteer. Can God not be found in the people in our lives? Aren't the people who are there for us in the toughest times God reaching out to us? People want some divine miracles where a lightning bolt flashes and everything is fixed, and in doing this we see the small miracles every day. The love of our family and friends is the love of God. When we turn to a friend in a time of need we turn to God. The gift of being a live and having other people is a miracle from God.
And I think it is extremely appropriate how Isaac portrays God as a human on earth "who sends him no letters" or doesn't call when being waited for. A watched pot never boils, and we miss the other things going on in our lives. We miss the small miracles that keep us going when we hope for something more.
I personally believe in a balance, so if we don't at times lose God, how can we find him? Sometimes you have to go there to come back. It's the hard times in our lives that we really get the opportunity to see God and his work in this world. The work of our loved ones. Things get hard in life, yet we are still hear today. We are living and breathing and that is all that matters. People say that God has abandoned us, but Isaac eventually found him while on his search in the song. There is still hope buried inside hurt of his heart, and that small ounce of faith is all that is enough. God will do the rest. |
