| The Avett Brothers – Slight Figure of Speech Lyrics | 13 years ago |

" A jet plane and a big idea I jump over the sea What ifs hot on my trail But that can't catch me, no" Some of my favorite lyrics of all time. It reminds me of a trip to Europe I made that ultimately ended badly, but I went on a whim and big idea. The what ifs didn't catch up to me because I made the effort to go. What ifs can't catch you if you actually take the leap. |

| The Avett Brothers – Ill with Want Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| This is my first comment on a song. I don't like those on here that try to make a song about God that is clearly not about God. I don't think this song is about God, but there is real biblical truth in this song. Materialistic things never satisfy and seeking them only can turn us evil. The bit about freedom seems to be a direct reference to Galatians 5:13. It basically says that freedom is not given to indulge ourselves but rather to give ourselves to loving others. | |
