| Sufjan Stevens – Fourth of July Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
this is very mind-opening song. it is about a conversation between sufjan and his mother and the main point is to tell how short life really is. in they talk about light as a metaphor to life "Make the most of your life, while it is rife While it is light" but the events where light is involved are so short for example in 4th of july the light lasts only seconds and then it is darkness again. In the song Sufjan says to his mother "Oh could I be the sky on the Fourth of July?". By this he wants to tell her that Even though life is so short flash of light in the darkness I wanted to spend this moment with you. |

| The National – About Today Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| I think this song is about a man who's watching his incurable sick wife dying with nothing to do to help. The man only wonders "how close am i to losing you" while he has to watch his wife "slipping away" | |
