| In Flames – I Am Above Lyrics | 4 years ago |
| I think this is coming at the end of some relationship (romantic or otherwise) that's been getting worse over time. He knew that once he worked up the courage to break away he'd feel better and this song is at that moment. "This is the feeling that I have been waiting for" He's been waiting to feel strong and empowered after a relationship that's beaten him down. It's claiming his own value that the other person doesn't see. | |
| Basia Bulat – The Pilgriming Vine Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
In certain Pagan mythologies, the separation between the world of the living and the world of the dead fluctuates throughout the year, with connection being possible twice a year, at mid fall (Samhain aka Halloween) and at mid spring, which is Beltane, celebrated on May 1st with, among other things, a may pole. The person in this song is worried that either she or her lover, or both, will be called to the other side, and that despite spring being generally known as a time of fertility and rebirth, it is also a time when slipping over to the other side is significantly easier. Hence, the end of a snowy morning would be the end of winter and the coming of spring, and the pilgriming vine would be the earth reaching up for their bodies. In the event that one or the other dies, the one who is left shouldn't look down at the maypole ie., they should still embrace life and keep living. Because if nowhere else, you should be able to be happy while attending a fertility celebration. |
