| The Lumineers – Angela Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
I don't think it is so much about schizophrenia as it is about the inevitable doubt we will all find in our lives as we look back. We know that the album focuses on the story of Cleopatra and the reflection back on her life. The album seems to tell a real array of emotions invoked by this story, with "Angela" focusing on the idea of living with regrets and the questions that come along with it, such as wondering if you made the right choice or not. It is a struggle we will all face with as our own stories unfold through our lives. |

|
I have been listening to this song a lot recently and while I was driving on the free way in silence, it dawned on me that most of the words are really raw words and they all involve some straight forward depictions individually and are tied together with other descriptors. Such as meat and bone being tied together with petals, bloom, and garden. This happens throughout the song and I am under the impression that it is quite intentional - which only makes this song more amazing. The words that are not tying things together are also words that point towards mortality in various ways, such as references to the human body or general destruction, or even god and ghosts. I am pretty sure that this song is about the inevitability that everything comes to an end and how you should try and find beauty in the ugly things as we journey down this road to the edge and only then do you have to really worry about something coming to a true end. |

| Rise Against – Methadone Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
This song seems to be about things that make you feel volatile, or unstable, and the struggles that come along with it. This song uses Methadone to reference an addiction to something or something that you reach out for and yearn to have. We sometimes find ourselves tired of reaching out for the things we want, but there are so many things out there to compel you to push forward and ignite you from inside and drive your passion for something. This song is about living all those ups and downs in chase of something, and not letting other people slow you down, and not letting yourself take away from the things others chase in the pursuit of happiness Tim stated this album was about looking inward, and it would not surprise me if this song is about his feelings of being on tour and the trials and tribulations that come with reaching out for something that he deeply loves, often finding exhaustion in it but always finding those things that kick him back into gear - which I can assume are his fans and the issues that they care to speak up about. |

Some corrections I believe would be accurate, because as written, they simply do not make any sense at all: "Prudent but not real, left you wanting more" Should be "Potent but not real, left you wanting more" Methadone is a opiod that is potent in relieving pain, however it is synthetic and can lead to dependency and addiction. "Oh well for us child do the stars refuse to shine?" Should be "Oh why for use child, do the stars refuse to shine?" The line is clearly a reference to Romeo and Juliet and their last names. This line seems to directly address the famous line of "O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?" Where Juliet is asking why Romeo has to be a Montague and she a Capulet. In a somewhat linear fashion, the line in the song asks in the same dire tone, why the stars refuse to shine - in other words, why is there a struggle? "Assume lets stroll along the land" Sounds like "Assume we're strung out on the lam" This correction would make much more sense, because it actually makes more sense. The line is about being tired of being on the run and strung out on a lam translates to that. This part of the song is about giving up and ending back up wherever you were and shows us that if you start something, and never see the finish line, you never achieve anything. "I am a heart on fire, the dawn walls diffuse" I believe this is actually supposed to be "I am a heart on fire, and all the world's a fuse" Akin to the variant of this line "I am a hand grenade, pin already pulled", it makes much more sense for a heart on fire to refer to a bomb and everything contained inside of it to make it explode, and the world being a fuse, or what is driving the bomb to an inevitable explosion. "Time for vaining like a match" Should be "Tap the vein and light the match" This is about igniting an explosion, you tap (or strike) the vein (of the previously mentioned heart on fire) to light the match "As we chase the sun my shadow slowly falls down" Should be "As we chase the sun, my shadow slows us down" This part of the song is about being volatile and ready to explode at any point in time, and acknowledging that someone is better off without this volatility. |

That explains the lines about laughing again. When I purchased the album, I had honestly not expected to discover such a masterpiece. This song really sticks to their newer sound but is so incredibly personal that it just resonates what they are and have always been about. All these years I have been listening to Rise Against and I am blown away by this song and I fully expect it to hit a lot of fans in a profound way. |

Tim was talking about how this album is really about looking inward and seeing how all these things in your life have "carved" you into the person you are now. Even with the title, the song seems to set straight what the album is really about. You are never as strong or brave as you could possibly be, without going through some of the darkest places and coming out of them and with time, you get to look back and see it from another perspective and that is where you find yourself. |
