| Arcade Fire – Abraham's Daughter Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| I understand what you are saying, being a Christian myself, but Arcade Fire is also using the angel as a metaphor for something else. I am sure they did not make the lyrics as such just to go against the bible. | |

What's interesting about this song is that is takes a story from the bible about Abraham, and puts a new spin on it. Most fans of THG overlook this song on the album; as my friend said; "It doesn't make any sense." This song is just a big metaphor. Peeta is Abraham's son. Katniss is his daughter. 'Abraham's daughter raised her bow.' Snow is the Angel, calling for the slaughter. Abraham is supposed to represent The Hunger Games itself. "How darest you, child, defy your father?" Katniss was not supposed to save Peeta (and thus herself) in the 74th Hunger Games. She defied her father, and saved Peeta's life. |

This reminds me of my friend a lot. We knew each other very well about 6 years ago, but then we fell out of touch. We started reconnecting two years ago, and at that time, she was going through some major depression and suicidal thoughts (at the time, she told me none of this, because she was afraid I might judge her). When she told me about what she was going through at that time (just half a year ago) she expressed to me that if it wasn't for me being her friend during this time, I may not even know her today. I am not trying to brag or anything of that sort, I just found these lyrics to really relate to what I went through. "And spread your wings And you can tell them all That it's over" Sounds a lot like whoever the song is about is not just moving or ending their relationship, but leaving Earth. Now I guess it's possible this song is about an astronaut, but it seems more likely that Birdy wrote this about someone she knew that was suicidal. |
