| The Last Royals – I Hate California Lyrics
| 10 years ago
|
|
He hates California because it is keeping him away from the one that he loves. He is here and she is there. He wants to be with her, but has to focus on his career in a state that he doesn't belong to and doesn't want to be in. He is stuck in hotel rooms while trying to make his music. They are blind and stumble in the dark because they have never done long-distance before and it is hard and scary and they don't know what they are doing. They hate California because it is keeping them apart. |

| The Barr Brothers – Even The Darkness Has Arms Lyrics

I think it is about someone who cheated on their significant other, but is absolutely madly in love with her and feels horrible for what he has done. All he wants to do is make her feel better and do right by her. He is trying to figure out the right way to love her because he knows he doesn't do it right. He compares his wrong-doings to the darkness having arms, and her as being pure (they ain't got you). But he saying "but I have you too" shows his astonishment that he still has someone so pure and beautiful even after what he has done. The song is hope for the future. Maybe in the future, the darkness will loosen its grip on him--Things will be okay, he will do right by her and they will be happy. |

We constantly want to put a face and a name to evil in order to protect ourselves. We want a clearly defined barrier between us, "the good" and "them" the evil. It is terrifying to look out at a person who has committed an atrocity and watch them smile and laugh like you do. It's too close, too personal. It could too easily be you. |
