| David Bazan – Curse Your Branches Lyrics | 16 years ago |

I like the way you understand the song, KennyB. However I interpret it a bit differently.. The first verse in the album version says: "Red and orange, or red and yellow..." I believe each pair of colors refers to a religion or a denomination.. Many religions have so much in common, and what separates them are just nuances, like the difference between red/orange and red/yellow. What almost all religions have in common is that you have to choose the right one while you live on earth (need your signature before you leave). I think leaves refers to people.. Some are falling (losing faith) and some are not allowed to fall at all, i.e. they are indoctrinated in some faith by their parents (branches). This song asks some of the most difficult questions.. How can you know that the way you view the world is the right one? Maybe God actually has room for more religions than just one. Even if it's hard to accept the idea, who are we to say for certain? That's why it is called faith... |

| I love how he wraps it up on the acoustic version: "You have not been paying attention". Cited from the radiohead song 2+2=5. | |
