| Mount Eerie – Stone's Ode Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
"Night falls, cloaks the world Impenetrable darkness A chill rises from the soil Erodes the world of dreams In ashes and fog Suddenly life has new meaning" - comes from Burzum's "Dunkelheit" from the album Filosofem, though it is originally in German: Wenn die Nacht einfällt bedeckt sie die Welt mit undurchdringlicher Dunkelheit. Kälte steigt vom boden auf und verpestet die Luft plötzlich... hat das Leben neue Bedeutung |

| Have a Nice Life – Woe Unto Us Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Wow. This summer I gave up following the god I used to follow. I'm pretty sure he doesn't exist-the God of Abraham-but he could. Either way I don't give a fuck because he is unloving and he'll arbitrarily strike us dead or let us live. A few weeks after this I broke my neck. So this song overtakes "I Don't Love" as the song that most connects to me... |

| Agalloch – Into the Painted Grey Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
"Perched on the cliffside gazing out into the brine My archaic beard pours downward and joins the feral sea I am the heritage; the quintessence of myth and legend The archetype of Pagan might and divinity" Wow. While my favorite part of the song, these are the lyrics that throw me off. The rest of the song seems to hold with Agalloch's pantheist beliefs: the Earth and and Universe as God, man destroying it, all man held in its hands. But this verse has some bearded God reminiscent of Poseidon or some Norse God. Is it meant to be an actual God or a personification of the Earth? |

| Agalloch – ...and the Great Cold Death of the Earth Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Oh, the quote "We are the wounds and the great cold death of the earth" are what point this out as being brought about by humanity. | |
| Agalloch – ...and the Great Cold Death of the Earth Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| This song is about the end of the world, but, more specifically, it is about how humanity will bring an end to the earth with our careless disrespect and misuse of our resources. Agalloch's lyrics are very Pantheistic, meaning they look at the Earth and nature in the way many look to a god. | |
| The Mountain Goats – Fault Lines Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| It is possibly speaking to all the points you brought up while also telling the story of this couple that runs through out the whole album. | |
| The Mountain Goats – Jenny Lyrics | 14 years ago |

Wow, I've listened to this album countless times and never caught that. This song does pretty much state they are the first owners of the bike, so it can be assumed that the events song to song--when switching in between characters--aren't happening in the order presented. Plus, a highschooler selling some drugs probably couldn't afford a new bike so he buys an old one that the couple got rid of in the divorce? |

| mewithoutYou – The Dryness and the Rain Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| "the fish swims in the sea..." is from a Sufi poet named JalÄl ad-DÄ«n RÅ«mÄ«. The band references and quotes him ALL THE TIME, you should read some of his stuff, it's good. | |
| mewithoutYou – The Dryness and the Rain Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| From the Qur'an. | |
| mewithoutYou – The Dryness and the Rain Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| From the Qur'an. | |
| mewithoutYou – The Dryness and the Rain Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| The first part you referenced is not about Moses. It is actually about Elijah looking for the voice of God. He is in the mountains and there is (I forget what order)a windstorm, an earthquake, and maybe one more thing, but God doesn't speak in these huge, loud, catastrophic occurrences. Instead God comes in a still, small voice after these. | |

(DISCLAIMER: THE FOLLOWING IS SARCASM) Now THERE you have it. It is 100% fact that anyone who speaks a language besides English has seriously flawed theology, and are on the highway to Hell. Like AC/DC. |

Oh, so I found too much incorrect with the first half of your post that I failed to read, and thus failed to call you out on the immense fallacies in your second half. Aaron was raised in a Sufi home. He quotes the Qur'an because it a beautiful illustration of the Love of God, like a said, Muslims Love the same God as Christians. While (I believe) the Qur'an is not the true word of God interpreted through a true prophet, it still contains true words. Plus, I don't think quoting the Qur'an will send you to Hell. You should read it. Reading it would also help you to understand that IT DOESN'T TEACH YOU TO KILL INDIVIDUALS OF OTHER RELIGIONS. Those are the extremist Muslims you hear about on the news. The religion, like Christianity, as they have THE SAME GOD, focuses on LOVE. Aaron obviously believes Jesus is the one way to salvation, look at most his lyrics, they mention Jesus, the things He said, Him being God, etc. |

| Islam, Christianity, and Judaism all hold the same God. Islam, however, views Jesus merely as a prophet, and Judaism, along with Christianity, does not recognize Muhammad as a prophet. Christianity mainly differs in that Christ has already come to Earth, but these religions all Love and praise the same Creator. | |
| mewithoutYou – The Cure for Pain Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| "the cure for pain is in the pain" is yet another reference to JalÄl ad-DÄ«n Muḥammad RÅ«mÄ« (Rumi), a Sufist poet. To get mewithoutYou better, you not only need to know the Bible, but Rumi, and The Smiths. | |
