| Evanescence – Tourniquet Lyrics

perhaps one can be christian and in a band without it being a christian band? it's not unheard of. also, one or two christian-themed songs does not a christian band make. i'm not in the band, so i can't really say, but i'd guess they're pretty damn secular.
though i agree that there is a definite religious theme in this song, the person in the lyrics expresses some doubts. "do you remember me lost for so long? will you be on the other side or will you forget me?" he/she isn't exactly sure there is a christ or god, or even if there is, if they will save them. the reason for this could be that christian dogma teaches that suicides go to hell..."will i be denied christ?" i see this as less of a typical "christian" song, and more of a song about christianity, dealing with the issues of belief and whether simple belief is enough. |

According to dictionary.com (and most english speaking persons) the idiom "in lieu of" means "in place of" or "instead of." It seems to me that the songwriter thought lieu meant something entirely different, since "you're leaving me in lieu of this song" makes no sense. How the heck would one leave a song?! |

Has anyone else noticed the misuse of the word "lieu" in this song? Basically he's saying "you're leaving me instead of leaving this song..." which doesn't really...make sense...unless it does and I'm just not getting it...help? |
