| Ok, in terms of what I posted. I'm going to try to disseminate the lyrics to fit my point. See what people think about my take on the lyrics in terms of how I view them... "Two sides twist and then collide You're coming off the guard, I'm coming through (Am I coming through?) A torturous condition to a spin cycled submission You know sometimes it just feels better to give in (Sometimes it just feels better to give in)" Basically, speaking about the darkness of the world, how it's this cycle that nobody understands and it burns us to not understand why this all happens. "Am I coming through?" is him asking to himself, wondering if he has finally reached the point of knowing. It's a tough approach, and this is why he says it feels better to give in, to completely ignore the idea of our origin. "And it's all too familiar and it happens all the time. All the cards begin to stack up, Twisting heartache into fine little pieces that avoid an awful crime But it's you I can't deny." He's talking about just at the point where he is about to give in to his distrust in a God, he begins to understand, I view cards stacking up as a good thing, in that he starts to figure it all out. And thus, he ends with himself saying he cannot deny God. "Though he rises from the sheets above the patient boy, well and a jealous man (Am I coming...) But double standardized suspicion is remedied, Oh My Blue Heaven Sometimes it just feels better to give in (Sometimes it just feels better to give in)" The God inside him is rising out of his own body, personifying himself as a victim now, because he is still reluctant to accept God. Double standardized suspicion really describes an agnostic belief: No proof God exists, but no proof that he doesn't. My Blue Heaven is the sky above us, beautiful, and almost existentialist in the way he is saying, in that it's the only Heaven we know, and it's only space, we know God doesn't sit there, which is why he once again repeats he could just give in, but then again that chorus comes in with him retracing his steps and saying once again he can't deny God. "We swing and we sway as this tiny voice in my head starts to sing, "You're safe, child, you are safe" (You're safe, child, you are safe) You're safe, child, you are safe." If you've already started to see how I am viewing this lyrics, this part comes easy. The God within him is speaking to him and comforting him as he is going back and forth in his mind(Swinging and swaying), since accepting God is no easy task, the God within him will come at times to comfort him. "Am I coming through?" Him almost now certain he is realizing he has discovered God. "Is this all too familiar? Does it happen all the time? I'm just asking you to hear me; Could you please just once just hear me? More than anything, you wanted to be right So it's you, you, it's you I can't deny.. (You I can't deny) It's you I can't deny." Still, as he makes it to the end, he still has hesitance and uncertainty. He questions if this happening is truly real, and wants God to answer him, to tell him what is true. Of course, his repition of the inner voice telling him he is safe shows us many times God has come into him to tell him everything is working as it should. And thus, he finally gives in, saying he has accepted God's word as the right one, since he's had all the reminders. And thus, at the end, he says once and for all that he accepts God. Hey, to each his own. Personally, I enjoy viewing the song this way, and take no offense if people like it or not, and I have no problem with the other dissemination of the song as being about a girl. I just love the fact that words can have so many meanings, and can be personalised to every person who reads them. | |
