There's no credibility in this post at all. While it is seriously a great thing that you've dissected the song to such detail, there's no reason I should believe any of that because Urbandictionary.com is the foundation for your argument. All that seems really silly to me. But I do appreciate the intense dissection of the lyrics. |

I'm so ridiculously impressed that you got "Lake Junaluska" dead on. I had no idea what Lake they were saying. Thought it was somewhere in Alaska. Well played, you. |

I heard Sean Paul's part as this: Yo ay girl yo bring it back to the time when you and me had just begun When I was still your number one Well it might seem far-fetched baby girl but it can be done I’ve got this feeling fire blazing and it’s hot just like the sun Know you feel it too my girl just free it up, may the good vibes run Girl, take a sip of the champagne, Take a little trip down my lane my girl While you know that every night I will feel alright, I can tell you this girl outta my world Don’t change I’m gonna rearrange hey girl I’m-a tell it to you straight that’s-a-my word I’m-a-here so you wanna come kiss this girl ‘cause you miss this That’s what I heard that’s what I heard that’s what I heard word girl |

| Sufjan Stevens – Chicago Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I interpret the "freedom from myself and from the land" in this way: I think he's expressing his experience of the depth of God's grace. The intensity of His love for humanity prompted Him to send His only Son to live with us, tell us what He offers us (full life, infinite love, faithfulness, etc.), allow humankind to reject him, and eventually die for us to pay a cost that we couldn't. God expresses that His creation is "cursed" i.e. fallen and separated, from Himself because of man's rebellious nature. I think Sufjan realized the Grace that Christ offers is here to free us "from ourselves and from the land": the land being the world we live in and other representations of it, both literal and figurative. All of man is also infinitely separated from God. The sin we casually take part in everyday is so far from Him that He can't bear to look at it. "It" being the sin within us, not human beings themselves. I think Sufjan realized that his separation from the Father existed no more with his realization and acknowledgment that Christ died for that expressed purpose: to bridge the gap and be the sacrifice. In the chorus he says "You came to take us, ... to recreate us." God is reconciling and rectifying everything, His entire creation, to Himself and His original plan and creation. We decide we don't need God but through Christ He is bringing it all back to the intensely true beauty of Eden, the way everything originally was and is supposed to be. I think He does this a number of ways, but the point is He's doing it. I think that's what Sufjan is expressing there. |

Freddie, please How could you do this to me How could you tell me you love me When you hate me Freddie, please You know I love ya, honey I bleed you dry with money I'll talk where I know you can hear 'Cause Freddie, can't you see, brother you're the one who's queer Freddie, please How could you do this to me How could you tell me you love me When you hate me Freddie, please And the stone's been rolled away But you're picketing my grave For love and the things you hate And why do you seek the living among the dead? Freddie, please How could you do this to me How can you tell them you love me When you hate me Freddie, please When you hate me Freddie, please When you hate me Freddie, please |

On another note, this interpretation is a difficult one for me. The bridge makes it sound like another of his politically centered songs, with bombs being dropped, rope for hangings, and that we've made our bed and now we have to sleep in it too. As for the rest of the song, I'm going to need some help. |

I have some weird inner conflict with this kind of calling out people, but part of me wants to stand up and scream HELL yeah, Derek! Maybe not the best attitude, but still, part of me loves this song so much. |

| Jars of Clay – Scenic Route Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
No nails to untie the knots No veins left to take the shots No touch to end a fight Or letting who's wrong be right We're just sitting like novels we've picked up but never read through You think you know my ending, I think I know yours, too Just to preface, I feel like this is set on a night that the writer and his wife had a fight. They must have realized there was so much more depth to a problem than their fight showed. I feel like they realized there was one way to fix their problem, to sift through each other's past and understand why the fight even began. They couldn't divorce (untie the knots) They can't drown it in addiction (veins left to take the shots) They can't just hug it out, or something simple like that (touch to end a fight) And there's no giving in, just forgetting about it for now (or letting who's wrong be right) Every ray of light still takes us by, by surprise It's as if they keep uncovering things about each other that neither of them knew and they're truly amazing finds. |

This is such an awesome correlation to the way our relationship with God should be. "And if you have questions, we can talk through the night." We shouldn't ever be reluctant to question God, doubt God, or anything similar, as long as we have a heart that truly questions and desires answers. "I've been where you're going" Christ and the Father know us so infinitely well. Not only did the Father fashion us together but He sent the Son to earth to experience everything we experienced. Christ experienced sadness, loneliness, joy, excitement, and a host of other human emotions. "There will be liars and thieves who take from you Not to undermine the consequence But you are not what you do And when you need it most I have a hundred reasons why I love you" Even sitting in class, I tear up reading these. God hears the cry of His people. He always has. When I cry out to God, He gives me "a hundred reasons" why He loves me, so to speak. Unbelievably beautiful song. |
