| Mumford & Sons – Believe Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
Maybe I'm just more prone to looking for the religious angle in Mumford songs because there are numerous examples of it in the previous albums, but to me this really sounds like somebody questioning their faith. Marcus has used the themes of love and faith somewhat interchangeably before and though at first glance It sounds like a song about a relationship in trouble, I think the relationship he is talking about is between him and God. I've noticed this questioning of faith as a possible theme in a few tracks on this album but this one stands out. Likes like "say something, say something" and "this is never gonna go our way if I'm gonna have to guess what's on your mind" and obviously "I don't even know if I believe" sound like someone who wants to believe in God but needs more proof. Like he's asking God to reveal himself to him, because he is unable to maintain his belief without more evidence. Could be over-thinking it but I thought it was interesting. |

| Noel Gallagher – (I Wanna Live In A Dream In My) Record Machine Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| I think this is, at a basic level, about escaping the world with music. The artist sings of music building "a little fire where it's cold". He want's to escape from the difficulties and stresses of life by listening to music and living "in a dream" in his "record machine". | |
