You know, Niam was sort of right. This is an inappropriate place to push religion- so let me apologize officially, if anyone actually cares... Anyway, I wasn't actually intending to push religion, people have to figure that out on their own. What I was trying to accomplish was maybe to add a new perspective to the few people that would ever read this. The fact is those lyrics have an Uncanny resemblance to those scriptures, that can't be denied. I guess I threw the last part of my last comment as a possible way to gain more information, but I now recognise it sounded like a push to convert. So do what you want, as you will, whatever.... The point I was trying to make is that those other invisible, intangible spiritual forces do have a literal and tangible effect on people, as they seem to with Beth here. The song itself is a beautiful ode to tragedy, though, and what better source to spread this attitude, this... feeling than through music. Music is the most commonly used drug in mankinds history, it makes us FEEL the way the song-writer feels, and we use it to delve even deeper into depression, or happiness, or frustration, or sometimes we use it when we just need to.... rock. The fact is, however, regardless of what religious affiliation we ascribe ourselves to, (or complete lack thereof) spirituality is in-arguably linked with music. And this song backs up that fact. |

You know what this song is really about? Get out your family bible. (No I am not Joking.) Look up Jude 13 (Jude is the book right before Revelation- in the back.) It will read someting like this: "stars with no set course, for which the blackness of darkness stands reserved forever" "Stars" in the bible often represent angels- Satan and his demons are called "falling stars" or "stars with no set course" ---Hmm, does this sound like another way of saying "wandering stars"? Now-- check this out--- Their Judgment: "...for who it is reserved....the blackness... the darkness... forever." Lookup Revelation 20:1-3 in your bible. It explains that Satan and his demons will be cast into the abyss. (the blackness, the darkness....) Interesting stuff huh? Note that she writes from THEIR perspective: "Please could you stay awhile to share my grief " I think I would be pretty grievous too if I knew I were going to be cast into the abyss. The real question is, if BEFORE I wrote this; you didn't know this song had demonic influence, how many other songs that you listen to are influenced the same way.......? It's very interesting to see your bible have modern uses, isn't it? If you are curious about WHEN Satan and his demons will finally be cast into the abyss-- I encourage you to read your bible. If you want a deeper knowledge of your bible, contact the Jehovah's Witnesses in your area. They offer free bible studies and will even travel to your home or other place of convenience. It helped me...... |
