| Evanescence – Lithium Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Well, Lithium is actually an antidepressant in the world of pharmaceuticals. I feel like Amy uses the idea of lithium as a metaphor for her attempts to find happiness in the few good instances in relationship full of sadness and turmoil. Her "lithium" is the praise and love her significant other gives her on occasion. Thats what she clings to to justify being in such a relationship. "Lithium-Don't want to lock me up inside Lithium-Don't wanna forget how it feels without Lithium-I wanna stay in love with my sorrow. Oh, but God I wanna let it go." ---She's battling with herself. She uses the good moments as the reason for staying but realizes that she's only punishing herself by staying in the relationship when she's just trapped anymore. That's just how I see it. :) I absolutely love this song. Beautifully written and beautifully done. Could listen to it forever! |

| Josh Turner – Long Black Train Lyrics | 13 years ago |

The song is actually quite simple and beautiful (entirely true as well). The "long black train" is symbolism for the path to Hell. Josh sings about looking to the heavens for redemption and avoiding the long black train. As long as you cling to and trust in God, you will be saved. The engineer as said in this song is Satan. He tempts, lies and cheats to coax you onto a path of sin and deciet--again, that long black train :) Bottom line, it's a song about keeping faith, being strong, trusting in the Lord and resisting temptation to do wrong. :) |
