| Rilo Kiley – Hail to Whatever You Found in the Sunlight That Surrounds You Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I think it's sarcastic - she's talking to someone who thinks they're the centre of the world, someone who thinks they have a ray of light shining around them. It's the 'whatever' in 'hail to whatever you found in the sunlight' that makes me think it's sarcastic. | |

| Greenspider, do you mean there are actually *two* people in the song, and the chorus is Christ's voice while the rest is Amy's? It's an interesting interpretation; I don't think I've ever come across it before. | |

I think the key to understanding this song is that amazing verse near the end... I think there's someone she really loves and cares about, almost like how a mother loves a child, and she always thought they loved her back, but then she found out they were tricking her, that they never loved her at all... maybe they were just using her love... 'I've been alone all along' - I think it means literally that through all that time that she's known the person, she hasn't had them as a real friend. I don't think anyone's actually died or is about to die. The bit on telling 'myself that you're gone' doesn't have to literally mean they're dead, just that they're not there anymore for her, emotionally speakign. Besides, the line just after that says 'you're still with me'. Maybe that person hasn't even physically left her, it's just that she now knows they're completely shut off from her, and it's always been that way. And she loves them so much that even after finding out she's been betrayed she still loves them ('but you still have all of me'), and the song's about her trying to end her love for someone who doesn't love her back. |
