| David Bazan – Virginia Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| As far as my own interpretation, I think the song really gets a lot of power from the lyric "floating high above the question," which succeeded the line asking "Was it heaven or hell that you saw when your eyes closed?" To me it means that Virgina is high above that question. He transcends that question. It doesn't matter if he is in heaven or hell, it only matters what he did and what he means to David or anyone else in that person's life. Maybe I am thinking too little or too much about this line, but this is what I take away from it. I had a friend who passed away when he was seventeen, and I used to wonder stuff about the afterlife and what happened. I think about how it really doesn't matter and what matters is how he has affected my life. Who he was will matter to the people around me, no matter who they are, if they knew him or not. | |
