I don't think the first verse is about a gay couple. Because he is speaking form the first person and he is a man and he refers to the partner as she which means woman. Domestic partners doesn't mean gay partners. In some US states, if you have lived together for a certain amount of time, you are recognized (for tax purposes) as domestic partners so you don't file as a single anymore. Has nothing to do w gender. It brings up a ? for me though. Does he mean that only being a partner in a marriage makes someone worthy of being in the delivery room? I wonder this bc it is not an actual rule. The father of the baby is allowed in the delivery room regardless of marriage. Unless the mother doesn't want him in the room... Deception from the mother? Or Flobots opinion? Hmm... |

first line carries a lot of depth - a statement of faith; shows perseverance by searching for love even when it looks like love is absent. which ties in to last 6 lines - cognizant of the trials he is facing, he realizes the power of anger and does not entertain what can be done through anger, instead prays for patience. Understands that anger is the opposite of love or life, prays that he has the patience to persevere. A statement of wisdom and act of faith. "Hard-pressed on every side but not crushed, perplexed but not in despair" (2Corinth 4:17), he has faith in love. (1John 4:8) Is pro-life, bc both choices offered give life and show love. A sacrificial love is necessary for a parent. Choosing to raise his child means he must serve the baby's every need (a baby can do nothing for itself or even communicate it's needs), and develop the baby into a mature adult able to care for itself. Choosing adoption means sacrificing some of the joys he would receive as a parent so that his child can have a life with parents that are prepared to raise a child. Profoundly against gay marriage. The second verse is an antithetical parallel to the love/life relationship, illuminating hate as death. First 2 lines are a picture of a land driven by hate. "Boys with guns" is a picture of hate: possibly stolen from family, possibly forced kill their own family to live. To state the obvious, boys are not men, they are children. Children are not fully developed, thus vulnerable and easily manipulated. From what I see, an unknown source of passport errors means there was no error. And that oppression from hate-driven power (boys w guns) killed a life… intentionally. Hate = Death. Literally. There have been thousands of deaths in the Israel-Gaza conflict. A well known fact that, again, is a picture of hate directly leading to death. (1John 3:15) Pretty bold and just their style. |

I think it was right the first time; however, there was not proper use of puncuation. I think it should be: "And then, here, this voice inside" I think this creates the imagery of putting her hand on her heart which, accordingly, creates depth of lyrics. I think this is also elusive to our bodies being a temple of God; He speaks within us - and to our hearts. |
