@[emptyempty:26328] I was also finally compelled to creat an account because of this song alone lol But my take on this song is that Leonard is writing about his relationship with God, and how either no longer believes or writing on a cynical perspective of Leonard's sinful nature. The lyrics, "I just cant believe the static coming on" can refer to the stationary position that God holds, with "aerial" in the next verse being God that is Leonard's driving winds that allow Leonard to pursue God. However, "I'm sorry for that ghost I made you be. One of us was real and that was me." was either; a change in perspective between him and God, a notion of cynicality comparing the realness of humanity to sinful nature, or its the one line that makes this song a plea that Leonard no longer believes in a God... So im still unsure, but would personally love Leonard to have a commentary on it. |

@[cmr3053:26327] I wholesomely agree, but the lyrics, "I'm sorry for that ghost I made you be. One of us was real and that was me." was either; a change in perspective between him and God, a notion of cynicality comparing the realness of humanity to sinful nature (which is true), or its the one line that makes this song a plea that Leonard no longer believes in a God... |
