| @[bayberryjenn:18746] Interesting take on the shift in viewpoints. I didn't notice that at first. I do agree with your point about people being ultimately responsible for their own fates. | |

| Sleeping At Last – Uneven Odds Lyrics | 10 years ago |

So so beautiful, the lyrics are pretty straight forward actually but I'll give it a shot. It talks about the loss of a mother and the heavy impact it has on her family.(Mostly her child and husband.) The first verse suggests that this is not a natural death, rather an accident caused by someone else, who they must forgive. "Forgiveness is a lesson, he cursed you to learn." - A sometimes hard pill to swallow in life but it's the best way to move on. The second verse tries to console the little kid who really doesn't fully understand what is going on. It seems like this family is periled with other troubles as well so their faced with uneven odds. But the singer, presumably an angel or close friend wishes the child her well and tells her everything will be okay in spite of it all. By the third verse, our little girl is a getting a bit older (Teen years?) and the reality of what happened dawns on her. She notices the differences in school, at home, and everywhere else. So the questions arises, is she getting stronger? or Is time shifting weight? meaning it just becomes heavier and harder to bare. "No one expects you to understand." She'll never understand why her mother was taken from her, it is so unfair, Why does she have to be the one with just one parent? It's an awful feeling. Although her father tries, somethings only a mother can understand and help you through. "You'll always remember the moment God took her away." Wow! here's a kicker, this suggests the girl witnessed the accident or was at her mother's deathbed, just tragic! "Maybe your light is your seed And the darkness the dirt In spite of the uneven odds Beauty lives from the earth From the earth" This kind of ties the whole song together for me. It brings clearer meaning to the chorus suggesting the girl can take the pain and anger she feels inside and channel it towards profitable means. Her light is her seed and she can either grow out of the dirt and shine bright and be beautiful or wither and die in the darkness! "Darkness exists to make life truly count." This is a line we know all too well, just in different words. This means life for most people isn't a bed of roses, we will face pain, loss, struggles and setbacks, we can let this kill us or we can make our light our seed, and grow out of the darkness. We can find beauty in even the worst and most unfortunate situations. It really is a difficult thing to lose your mother. No one will love you like your mother will. I can totally relate to this because I lost my mother at a young age also. Great song! |
