| Lydia – One More Day Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I'm not entirely sure what this song could mean, but it's definitely one of my favorite songs by Lydia. All I really know is that the term "wintergirl" is someone who has an eating disorder. They are "frozen between worlds," because they can't get out of the habit of not eating/throwing up what they eat, etc. They're not dead, but they're not fully alive either, they're just going through life like a robot doing what they know best. In fact, there's a book called Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson, and while reading it I listened to Illuminate on repeat the entire book. It's unbelievable how much the album seems to relate to the book. I recommend the book to anyone. It's not a hard book to read, and it has a very good story. The album relates to it so much that I almost believe some of the lyrics were based from the book. If you like this album, read Wintergirls and you'll see how similar the two are. |

I kind of agree with Sarah; her idea made me try to interpret it even more. What I get out of this is that there's two people, one may be suicidal? One of them is trying to help the other [I saw your door wide open,] but the suicidal one still has many problems that are hard to face [But the floor is still freezing]. The suicidal thought makes sense with "Hailey, I was sick, and I'm still quite unwell." And it seems that the suicidal one can't live without the other [Tell me it's you or nothing at all.] "Cause I stole your soul, You said I'd never be able, But all the whole world is still on my string" This verse seems like the suicidal one made the other a part of his/her terrible world and can't get out of it, no matter what. When it talks about how "the whole world is still on my string," I think that means that everyone around him/her is affected by the suicidal thoughts and it's basically hurting everyone, not just the suicidal one. I'm not sure what to make of the next verse, but it's clear that someone is avoiding something. Anywho, the very last line, "It's never much when I sing about you," the way I see it, can mean one of two things. Either when he sings about her, the suicidal thoughts and depression seem like nothing, and she makes him so much happier. Or, on a more negative note, when he sings about her, there's not much to say and it doesn't help him much. Wow, that was long. Lydia is probably the most amazing band that I've ever come across, and their songs are very, very deep. Leighton's voice is angelic. These songs are heaven. |
