| Hockey – Song Away Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I loved this song due to the upbeat sound but when I started listening to it mindlessly this line kept standing out "look what your man has done to the world, look what the world has done to your man" and the "who could love me" sort of thing. This is big-time what goes on in so many relationships. I met my wife (now of 16 years) but I still feel like that kid who met her when I had just turned 18 and wasn't ready for marriage or the responsibility to take care of her. Now that line "look what the world has done to your man" is how I feel a lot of times, the world weighs on you as time goes on, specially when there's a woman (and kids?) you love who you want to be able to rely on you. The song is about a man unable to deal with responsibility, believing he is unworthy and he makes it a "song away" as he leaves making it light but - it's not a happy song really. Not at all. |

| Kutless – To Know That You're Alive Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I'm not any kind of big fan of Kutless, I heard the song on the radio again this morning and looked up the lyrics. The song isn't obviously about cutting and the band says that, though their band name wasn't a reference to cutting, the name has attracted cutters so why wouldn't this song have a little reference to that in it. It made me think of cutting because the line "You need to feel just to know that you're alive" which reminds me of the line from Iris "you bleed just to know you're alive" is the description of how my wife felt in the many years in her life that she cut. Her pain is something I've come to understand very well - there's a horrible numbness. As far as the bandages line, I don't think most cutters use bandages - they love their scars because it shows the pain within. My wife hid her cuts/scars from others but not from herself, that was the point. After years of sexual abuse, her father still won't acknowledge what he's done to her, but her scars don't lie about the pain she felt and still sometimes feels. Now I don't know how Christian Kutless really is but the hardening of your heart that has to go on to live in severe pain and abuse really hardens your heart making you unable to feel anything, as an adult you can't interact with people or even your children in any healthy way, you keep doing things that destroy yourself (even down to abusive friends and spouses) - Christ is the only answer but not one we seek merely as an alternative to cutting but as the truth. |
