| KITTEN – Cathedral Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I think the song is about like a corrupted cult leader or holy man. The first verse is about how someone confided in him about some crime he committed and he how he turns the man in gaining all the love of everyone without caring what happens to the man... he's becoming a cathedral that everyone worships. But maybe the time isn't right to proclaim himself as a god or prophet. The second verse is about a suicidal girl that he comforts. He takes advantage of her and gets her paranoid about everything and faithful only to him, gaining her love and the love of everyone again for taking in such a damaged girl. Still the time isn't right to proclaim himself as a god. The last verse is how he started having relations with a girl... maybe an affair.. but they got caught. They punished her while he ran away to a new town where no one knew him... and started all over again. |

| Portugal. The Man – Sleep Forever Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| I dunno... I think this whole song is about setting examples. I think he's stating that he doesn't need anyone to set an example for him because he's trying his best at being a good person. The news of wars and junk, it saddens him. His mother, his father, his brothers, lovers... everyone is just doing their best. He wants to "sleep forever" because he doesn't think that people should look up to him and he shouldn't look up to anyone else to set an example, he wants the world to not need that example... no longer needing someone to look up to since we should all just be doing our best at being good people. | |
