Yeah, so this is so obviously about faith, as are most of their songs. Genuinely mate, listen to The Cave, Roll Away Your Stone, even Winter Winds and its pretty clear that his feelings about love are wrapped up in his feelings about God or Christianity or Spirituality or whatever you wanna call it. In that article you quoted he says "We all have our Âseparate views on religion, but I think faith is something to be celebrated. I have my own personal views, they're still real to me, and I want to write about them." - he literally says that he is going to write about his views on faith. I'm not saying its not about a girl, it probably is, as explosionsofwarmairflow said, you probably want to keep faith and a relationship in mind at the same time here. |

Obviously its really easy to just read meanings into things, especially to make more sense of your own experience, so I say this tentatively. But I recks this is about him finding it difficult to handle his falling in love. 'the curse of these lovers eyes' isnt a comment about a specific girl, but about how he maybe falls for the wrong people or how he hasnt dealt with it well when he's fallen for someone. When you like someone its easy to think being with them is worth everything ('the price I pay') and that can often mean screwing over a bunch of 'others in my life'. |
