| this is to xSatansxCupidx... Believe it or not..... myspace has nothing to do with a band being christian or not...... If you listen to their songs,read the lyrics, actually know a little more about the band basides the "music category" it is in on myspace... U might learn that Flyleaf is a christian band, and it's songs are about christianity, love for God, and the love he has for us. | |

| i agree with seelenschrei about the ambiguity. I love flyleaf but im an atheist. The religious undertones dont bother me but because its ambiguous i can listen to the music without having to think about god or anyrthing like that. I just take for what it is to me. FUCKING AWESOME MUSIC!!!!!!!! | |

| I think this song could have two meanings, one secular interpretation and one Christian one. Looking at it from a religious point of view, I think it's about a girl trying to break free from the ugly things in her life and embrace God. He knows all her pain and he slays the doubts that are in her mind. The angel is Satan or bad things that represent Satan's work and I think that the kiss is meant to symbolize her final farewell to him. From a secular point of view, you can easily replace God with an ordinary man. Perhaps she is in love with someone who uses her and makes her feel like nothing, yet he seems to know everything about her so sometimes it feels as though he can briefly make her whole. This song is absolutely amazing. I can't say it's my favorite off the album though because everytime I decide that one is my favorite, I pay full attention to another song I hadn't before and I find a new favorite. I love Flyleaf and I am so lucky because I saw them in February and now I get to see them again in two days at the Family Values Tour. So happy! 1 2 Next | |

| in my opinion, i don't think flyleaf is a christian band. on their myspace, christian isn't one of their music categories. lacey says the word "god" in some songs but not in the religious context. this song signifies relationships between couples. NOT god. | |

| I agree with Angie R. Basically, it's about the speaker interpretting being used as love. She can give and give and give of herrself, but the truth is that it really isn't love. It can feel amazing, but it's not actually any kind of real love. In time, she realizes that she was just lying to herself, but she doesn't hold the other person as entirely guilty, she allowed it to happen in the first place, so she's just as quilty. Honestly, I kinda think Lacey's been abused in a lot of ways or has at least had a really crappy life. I used to really hate this song because it was so quiet compared to their other ones, but once I actually listened to the words I changed my mind. These guys are going to get pretty big soon, watch and see. | |

| AngieR i like how you interpreted it. i didnt see at as a girl feeling remorseful after having sex until i read your post. i also have to agree with seelendchrei that it's nice that christian bands aren't 'shoving religion down peoples throats' i guess you could say. that way people who aren't necesarrily religious or aren't christian can listen to the song and interpret it however they want. basicly i love this song and i love flyleaf. the vocals, music and lyrics are awesome! | |

| I dont understand a lot of this song especially the part where she says "and we kiss each other one more time" but i think this part "For just one second I felt whole As you flew right through me" means she is filled with the Holy Spirit for a moment and she feel really close to God. | |

| A lot of these lyrics are wrong. The correct lyrics are: "Sometimes life seems to quiet into paralyzing silence Like the moonless dark, meant to make me strong. Familiar breath of my old lies Changed the color in my eyes Soon he will perferate the fabric of the peaceful by and by Sorrow lasts through this night I'll take this piece of you, and hold for all eternity For just one second I felt whole... as you flew right through me. Left alone with only reflections of the memory To face the ugly girl that's smothering me. Sitting closer than my pain... He knew each tear before it came, And soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by We kiss each other one more time And sing this lie that's half way mine The sword is slicing through the questions so I won't be fooled By his angel light.. Sorrow lasts through this night I'll take this piece of you and for all eternity For just one second I felt whole as you flew right though me and up into the stars Joy will come. " These lyrics are directly off of flyleaf's website. As for this song, personally, it is my favorite off the album. Flyleaf rocks. | |

| Okay, this is my (long-winded) breakdown of the song. And yes, I view Flyleaf as a Christian Rock band, and I am deciphering this song like a Christian song, though I agree that there are so many interpretations of it! :) “Sometimes life seems to quiet into paralyzing silence Like the moonless dark, meant to make me strong Familiar breath of my old lies change the color in my eyes Soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by” It is a widely held belief in the Christian faith that God tests us all to make our faith stronger. “Like the moonless dark, *meant to make me strong.* Next, she speaks of remembering her old mistakes and sins. “Change the color in my eyes” could be speaking of her guilt and sadness at her past mistakes (here I’m going to use the term of being under conviction). Y’know, how people’s eyes are often described as “darkening” with tears? I’m judging that the last line deals with her personal salvation. Although salvation is a wonderful thing, if you were living a life of sin, it will change what you do in your day-to-day life. But this line is tricky and can refer to many, many different things. ”Sorrow lasts through this night I'll take this piece of you and hold for all eternity For just one second I felt whole As you flew right through me” I think the first line says that maybe she’s just started her faith, but she’s not saved yet, so “sorrow lasts”. Yet, she takes a piece of God (possibly something physical like a Bible or necklace, but most likely just the changes of her philosophies and beliefs) and swears to hold onto it forever. She does feel whole for a second though, when the Spirit was nearby, maybe she witnessed someone else being saved or someone “in the Spirit” but she herself was not saved. “Flew right through me.” ”Left alone with only reflections of the memory To face the ugly girl that's smothering me Sitting closer than my pain, he knew each tear before it came Soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by” I think this deals with her memories of drug use (or any bad memory, really) and her decision that her outward self, her sins and mistakes, are ugly and smothering the real her. “Sitting closer than my pain” refers to God, and how even though she was hurting and confused, God was closer to her than her own pain, and he knew every tear she would cry before she ever did. The repetition of the last line reinforces my view that it refers to her impending salvation. "And we kiss each other one more time And sing this lie that's half way mine The sword is slicing through the question so I won't be fooled By his angel light" Maybe here she falters a little, and doesn’t really know if she wants to commit to a religion. “And we kiss each other one more time and sing this lie that’s half-way mine,” I feel means that she either went back to an old junkie boyfriend, OR it could be read more metaphorically and mean that she went back to drugs, even though she knows it’s wrong because she’s simply frightened of giving herself up to God. However, the knowledge that whatever she’s doing is wrong finally gets the best of her, and she realizes that even if the boy/drugs make her feel good momentarily (“angel light”) they are still wrong. ”Sorrow lasts through this night I'll take this piece of you and hold for all eternity For just one second I felt whole As you flew right through me And up into the stars Joy will come” The last two lines end with the hope of salvation. She knows she’s under conviction, and she’s ready to accept Christ and has faith that “Joy will come” even if it’s not right then and there. | |

| I typed it up better - Sometimes life seems to quiet into paralyzing silence Like the moonless dark, meant to make me strong Familiar breath of my old lies change the color in my eyes Soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by Sorrow lasts through this night I'll take this piece of you and hold for all eternity For just one second I felt whole As you flew right through me Left alone with only reflections of the memory To face the ugly girl that's smothering me Sitting closer than my pain, he knew each tear before it came Soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by Sorrow lasts through this night I'll take this piece of you and hold for all eternity For just one second I felt whole As you flew right through me And we kiss each other one more time And sing this lie that's half way mine The sword is slicing through the question so I won't be fooled By his angel light Sorrow lasts through this night I'll take this piece of you and hold for all eternity For just one second I felt whole As you flew right through me And up into the stars Joy will come | |

| christian or not, the nice thing about religious bands nowadays is a lot of them make their songs ambigious. for me, it's sort of a breakup. taking a piece of someone could be a nice memory or a bit of clothing or a personal gift, and hope for all eternity that maybe someday you'll cross paths in a good way later on. i think that everyone gets to a point in a relationship where when it ends you look back and think that you had just one second where everything was perfect. | |
