| Bloc Party – Like Eating Glass Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I always thought they were saying crosses, but my friend says they are saying "glasses" with a wikid british accent. When i listened to it again, i still heard crosses. But i think it switches, going from glasses to crosses with each line. That might change the meaning a bit, especially the religious one. And walking into things would relate to sight more, so glasses might be better. (but ill still sing crosses when im in my car) | |

| Iron & Wine – Sodom, South Georgia Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| i would say that its an awakening story for the main character. He comes to see the devotion that people have to God eventhough they are dead, while "white tongues hang out". It doesnt really seem like a nice death to me from the way he describes it. And in my opinion, he realizes the reality of life and that there isnt a true God, because what kind of God would let people die? So i think he loses faith, and then says "God is good" from the perspective of the dead white boys. And he understands that he doesnt want to really be like them. | |

this song has some type of references to the real mary. I dunno exactly what hes trying to say, but I know that on the Woman King EP, he takes bible stories about women and retells them from their point of view, aka Jezebel and Litliths Song. For this song, i think hes telling the story from the point of view of the father of the child? No not god, but the real father.... Im still trying to figure out what these lines mean "but his papa's going to hide shaking gristle and shaking like bone" and i dont know why Mary has shame. Seems to me like it could be something about the kid being illegitimate, or accidental? I dunno. the focus is obviously not on jesus or anything like that, but the lady that birthed him. and possibily the true story behind all the religious hoopla people have been talking about for billions of years |

the song is not anti-liberal at all. When he talks about the actors and their "pristine moderate liberal minds", hes basically make fun of all the celebrities who are just liberal enough to get attention in the media. For example, Paris Hilton, a lead spokesperson for VOTE OR DIE and come time to voting, she wasnt even registered, and she "forgot". thats a big part of what the song is about. So its not anti-liberal But it is definitely anti-war and anti-imperialism AND I LOVE IT |
