| Beirut – Santa Fe Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| The lead/writer is originally from Santa Fe, NM. A large cross overlooks downtown, the Cross of the Martyrs (which may be part of what he is referring to with "on the cross"). the song may be about both being called home and more complex levels involving some kind of faith (the literal translation of Santa Fe is "Holy Faith") and/or martyrdom. Those of us who live here intuitively kinda get it, but it's hard to explain. | |
