This song hits me pretty hard. I find that a lot of things that I really have trouble expressing, she gets across so deftly and effortlessly. I think that the cold wind of the second line refers to the narrator's lover's loss of sexual interest. Those words whispered, so to speak, the familiar voice, the insidious self-doubt, the desperate irrational loneliness. The next two verses, the sun gives it's love freely, and fills the world with light, feeding life, unselfishly. It's an appeal, of sorts, however unfair it may be. "what starts as desire can turn into need..." and when that desire is unrequited by a lover victim to the cold wind, so to speak, that tightchested pain. Then, the doubt, the smoldering, smokey miasma of self-consciousness.
I really want to go line by line and praise her clarity, but I'd be doing it for hours. |

haha. i'm glad i'm not the first person to see the parallels to the show Lost, though i doubt they are intentional, but rather just a case of beautiful synchronicity. |

since when did Christianity have the monopoly on god or salvation? The concepts of salvation is not exactly uncommon among the near infinite belief systems. There are few experiences similar to dissociation. This song relates that feeling well. At least, in my experience. |
