| Celldweller – Own Little World Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
I am on a similar road as what he (Klayton) is on. Used to be an active church-goer, but after some time and seeing quite a bit of Un-Christian-like things happen from within, I've stopped. It was a coincidence that I had begun to listen to Celldweller before all this happened, but I'm glad it worked out that way. It's made dealing with the reality that a lot of what I was brought up with may possibly be tainted or put under a subjective lens.
Do I still believe? Yes, but I don't go to church anymore. Church is where the religion is brought into Christianity, and it's not supposed to be that way, but it is. It's the human stain, the acid eating through our proverbial clothing of truth. The bad thing is that this has been going on for eons, causing irreparable damage.
Faith is meant to be believing in something, even though the evidence may not fully be there. Religion is a set of rules set up by humanity pretending to be divine, the result of the human stain, we at our basest form, grasping for the power we so much want.
Those are just my thoughts, though. |

I believe this song is about someone who is fed up with apathy, misery, and judgmentalism. It is a declaration of separation from the darkness that envelopes the lost. |

| UNKLE – Another Night Out Lyrics
| 15 years ago

When I hear this song, I think of a man old in age, well-traveled, going for one last trip because of the first verse, and near the end, transcending into the chorus, he asks if "those are dead diamonds" or "stars gone to sleep?" I believe that he is inferring to the twinkle in a lover's eye, long with him, but she has aged too, and thus the light, though it may be there, is dulled, not because of loss, but because it is glazed over. He puts it in such a loving way I cannot see it otherwise, and so he says in the chorus "So low that you might miss me...slowly fades the light", refers to that when he dies that he hopes that he will be missed, but not forgotten. The second verse alludes to his acceptance that he will die eventually, though I believe he says at the end of the second verse "..to wear the hallowed (holy) crown...to haunt the hollow trees...", as if to say he awaits whatever fate brings him, whether it is Heaven, or simply roaming as a spirit. He speaks again of heaven when he says that it's speech/chorus runs through his veins, that it is undying love, for yet another night.
That is my interpretation, and I'm sure there are many ways it can be interpreted, but it really is a beautiful song and one of my favorites off of the new album. |

I think this means that we shouldn't let ourselves become trapped by the heavy things of life hold us down, using cities and cars as man-made constructs created by our own hands. Instead we should know how to escape and be the owner of our own domain instead of our domain owning us. |

| Brandon Boyd – Runaway Train Lyrics

Clew, what he means by the love triangle is that the world (lover #1) is being rent apart by two opposing forces, be it political views, war, religions, etc., each side having opposing forces, constantly meddling, and the world is stuck in the middle of it all. The calamity and chaos which ensues is the runaway train. |
