I know that proper English for the line "everyone noticed everyone has seen the signs" is indeed everyone NOTICED, but I can NOT stop hearing "everyone knowed it, everyone has seen the signs" And if you take into consideration that 1) he is Southern and we Southerners tend to say things like "knowed" and 2) the claim that he was extremely inebriated when he sang this bit, I'm pretty sure 100% proper English was not on the top list of priorities. Do I have any body else to agree or am I just crazy? |

This song is MOST definitely about their mother. 1) his mother WAS born in West Virginia. 2) his mother married a Pentecostal preacher 3) when they performed this song on the O2 in London Live DVD as soon as they finished this song Caleb thanked his mother for being there. The first two alone are enough to tell you it's about their mom, #3 could be debated. |

I believe agameofhearts is right, it sounds more like "her" level There is something absolutely so sad about this song. Not in the first part but in the end lyrics "When I sold my soul to Jesus no body knows what he means to us, When I got me some of that holy-ghost fire Aint nothing in this world that can take me higher" I grew up in the same denomination and with the same beliefs as the Kings of Leon. Their church district is actually only about an hour away from where I live and back in the day we would attend the same church conferences. Our beliefs don't really approve of where the Kings of Leon are today, the whole secular music, sex drugs, rock and roll thing, and me being backslid myself there is something absolutely devastating about the last lines of the song. The fact that KoL WERE known drug addicts during their first two albums, and in this song saying "ain't nothing got me higher" (than that holy-ghost fire) it almost seems as if their is some latent regret for the decisions that have taken them this far. Although I'm out of church I will never be able to justify my doings, I will always feel that conviction for my sin, and knowing that I'm not where I need to be with God. It kinda seems as if they feel the same way. I'm really not trying to start a HUGE knock down drag our debate about religion, just giving you my interpretation of the song. Sorry if I offend anybody. |
