| Shinedown – Sin With a Grin Lyrics

I've always felt like this song was talking about a person who got horribly hurt by someone, either mentally or physically, and only when they stepped back and really thought about everything did they see it. This, understandably, angered them a lot, especially once they saw the scars and pain left by the one who hurt them, and they're done just standing there and taking it. They have no sympathy for the person who hurt them, and too much damage has been done for apologies to mean anything, and now they're going to go give the person what they feel is coming to them, possibly murder, and grin while doing it. |

This is one of my many favorites from Eric Whitacre, and the first time I heard it in his virtual choir 2.0 I cried. Very rarely does a piece move me to tears, but this one did, and I think that it captures both the feeling of falling asleep and peacefully slipping into death beautifully. In that context, t almost makes the feeling of "death" into a sort of a comfort, like sleep is after a long day, instead of something to be afraid of, which is something that not many can manage to do without sounding morbid or depressed. |

Huh, it seems that I'm getting a different impression than everyone, interesting. I'm not a huge fan of LP, but when I heard this I was in a very mentally and physically abusive friendship, and it really just struck a chord with me. I had become physically and mentally numb to everything, including when she would hit me for not doing exactly what she said 100% of the time. It was all exhausting, I became a shell of myself; she was so clingy that it was suffocating, and I knew that the reason she was doing it to me was because she felt like she couldn't live up to her parents' expectations. This song just sorta snapped me out of that haze and gave me the spark of defiance that let me break away from her, and ironically enough, I first heard it when I was at her house. So it's not just about overbearing adults, but it really rings true to an abusive relationship too.
Just my two cents. :) |
