| A Love Like Pi – Innocent Man Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
eleanor of aquitaine: led troops to the Crusade and accompanied them, which makes sense considering this song is about Jesus & Christianity and innocence. In the Atlast this makes sense because it refers to the blood in the ground (soldiers), it fits for other reasons but thats a whole other matter. i think this makse the most sense in the context of the two songs. eleanor literally put the guns in these mens hands to gain back the Holy Land. I think this song is questioning faith in general and if we would or should have faith in Jesus and what he did. Love like Pi makes a lot of references to Jesus, Christianity, and the question of faith in their music, which is why I am in love with them. this song talks about faith and innocence in today's society. The innocent man is Jesus, and she is praying to him (kneeling) but the man who is the speaker in this poem has turned away from her hope and faith. he questions why he is alive, and how can he accept Jesus as his savior when he cannot "kill an innocent" which is what happened to Jesus - he was an innocent who was crucified for his beliefs. talking about her skirt and all of that - referring to her loss of innocence. thats the problem with today's society - we are all lost and confused and the "nation's pain" is its loss of innocence and complete lack of faith. he says we have failed our God because of this lack of faith, this lack of innocence in today's society. "would we have paid" is questioning if we would have died for every one else's sins just as Jesus did. |

uhh well i thought about explaining my interpretation but i thought it would be better to just say it and then you guys can see if it fits for you or not. i think this song is about a fleeting relationship. also: the title just reminds me of stars themselves. have you ever been out in the country and looked up at the sky and thought, well damn, this universe is miraculous? whoever created it must've thought it out well? but stars, like relationships, no matter how perfect, burn out and die eventually. |
