Lyric discussion by Lord Pembroke 

Cover art for Basilica lyrics by Jawbreaker

This song clearly is about a guy who knows this girl who he loves but has serious troubles and she cant take this troubles allthough they arent her fault. She is innocent (hence the angel part) by saying you cant have a flower of stone he means she may not be buried with a sepulchral pillar. He loves her so much he is willing to spend his live with her no matter what problems come along, he will still be there to support her.

I think my opinion is pretty accurate because im in this situation and this song is just taking my owrds right out of my mouth and its how i feel.... Think about it
