Sensitive

"We all need to feel safe then that's taken away sometimes I want to return return to before the trouble began that time of no fear" I think this is about wanting to return to childhood when things were fairly easy and they didn't have to deal with deep, painful feelings. When you reach adolescence the safety is taken away and you have to figure out life for yourself, sometimes not liking what you find.

"By showing you I'm sensitive you do risk being crucified crucified by those you are unlike" Rather than being about literally being sensitive. I think it's more about the world being divided essentially into 2 kinds of people. People who think about their life, feel the pain and the beauty of it with a primacy and passion. And people who just go along with their life, without questioning it, and are how they are. It tends to be the case, especially in adolescents, that the more "sensitive" people are ridiculed and "crucified" by the nastier of the others. He is saying that if he is more open with his friend about his way of thinking, they will be mocked by the thoughtless, offensive beings he fears.

These beings are the "they" described in the chorus.

it's about being open about being a sensitive person; being able to freely admit crying at sunsets etc even though you're likely to get 'crucified' by those you don't like

I love this song. It's witty and emotional like all the best songs released on Sarah Records.

This is the song I want to have played when she and I are finally allowed to be together forever. After we defy the world and do it our way. When nobody can prevent us any longer, when it's just the two of us.

Still love you Angel more than everything else in the world put together.

Forever.

Even though the lyrics are correct here as posted...

By showing you I'm Sensitive You do risk Being crucified Crucified by Those you are unlike

....I'm sure that part is meant to say:

By showing you I'm Sensitive I do risk Being crucified Crucified by Those I am unlike

Anyway, I used to think this was a relatively simple song about just being different and literally more sensitive than most people, but ever since I discovered how sinister this world actually is compared to how it was before dark forces took control, I now believe it transcends ages and "that time of no fear before the trouble began" covers a past life or past lives when humanity lived in peace and harmony, so unlike how things are now.

And it always really got to me the way he says "the price that I do pay to appreciate the beauty they're killing, the beauty they're busy killing..." but it's now taken on so much more meaning after realizing just how much this dark world really is all about killing off anything and everything that's good and innocent, and instead encouraging and bringing out the worst tendencies and ugliness in people and things.
