Typical Lyrics

Cover art for Typical lyrics by Mute Math

Why is it that it always seems like an argument between religious and secular music? Like a band of Christians like Mute Math (or even Mae) aren't ever allowed to sing about secular things; or a secular band like U2 never allowed to sing about God. It's quite ludicrous.

Moreover, a song is a piece of art, so you're going to have your own interpretations...there's no wrong or right answer. While there's the artist's personal intentions, as soon as the art is released, the meaning lies in perception. That's art.

Enough about the squabbles.

I just love how this song promotes living a better life on your own terms. You could argue it's a song about Christian morality...but most religions preach higher living. I'd say this song is more about strong personal morals.
