Sufjan Stevens – Impossible Soul Lyrics 14 years ago
So I don't know anything, but I did find the song's length and how... specific... that length felt a bit odd. The only thing I could think of that might fit (given that this is Sufjan) would be a bible verse. Matthew 25:35 is "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in."

I could be completely mad, to be honest. If that actually was the intention, I have no idea what it might bean as far as the song goes. I don't pretend to know much about the bible. But I just thought I'd share one of my few original thoughts in this world.
