| Death Cab for Cutie – Bend to Squares Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
i really didn't think this song was about suicide but you guys bring out good points. consider this instead: i always thought this song was about the "rat race." conforming to a nine to five. "bend to squares" means to fit your life around a calendar. "bend to squares five to six times" is a work week. "what a way to cut lengthwise" is describing how a time-crunching school/work can take the life out of living. any thoughts on "With two fingers a rock glass, Time passed and that was that" ? i'm not even sure those are the right lyrics. |

| does anybod have a tab for this song or know where one is? | |
| Mae – Sun Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| this song is about not living up to your maxim of being a Christian. it's about making your own problems for yourself when everything would stop if you would just give it to God. Destination's Beautiful is about the great things God has for us if we would claim them. maybe it even means heaven. the Sun is a metaphor for the Son: Jesus. read it again with that in mind. | |

All you people who said that it doesn't matter if FSF is Christian or not are nuts. Of course it matters. Any religious association that a band makes SHOULD INFLUENCE their music or else they aren't really taking their religion seriously, regaurdless of the religion. Think about it, if you are Christian, part of being Christian is believing that it is the most important thing and that a persons salvation depends on claiming to be Christian. So a band that is Christian would be completely wasting the platform they have to reach people (either explicitly or through metaphors) if they didn't allow there faith to show through in their music. You don't have to read many band bios to know that FSF IS CHRISTIAN, and that doesn't make there music any less emo or punk or emocore or whatever little stupid catagory you want to smash their music into. BUT THE FACT THAT THEY ARE CHRISTIANS DOES MATTER WHEN TRYING TO INTERPRET THEIR LYRICS BECAUSE THEIR FAITH SHOULD BE THE MOST MOTIVATING THING BEHIND THEIR MUSIC. So don't bring allong all your anti or even pro Christian bagage and turn the interpreting of a great bands music into a religious debate. Whether you are Christian or not isn't going to effect the lyrics' meaning and its OBVIOUSLY CHRISTIAN. This song is about claiming your faith ("this is ours!") and accepting salvation even though you know all you really deserve is death ("we're all the terminal cases"). The secound verse, from "you've measured our strides" through "as if we were never alone" is spoken directly to God. |
