Ok, so this is what I think. Since the whole series by CS Lewis is about Christ/God, well, this song should be about him too. Although, I strongly doubt the fact that it is even Christ related, but this is how I think we should interpret it. "It started out as a feeling" - the feeling of love from God in the beginning "Which then grew into a hope" - a hope for God to have humans in his kingdom as his people that were made in his image. "Which then turned into a quiet thought" - God seriously thought about it and considered it. "Which then turned into a quiet word" as it starts in the gospel of John, "at the beginning it was the word" and as CS Lewis explains in the book of the Magician's nephew, Aslan starts Narnia with a roar/sound/word. "And then that word grew louder and louder" in the book Aslan gets closer and closer to the humans and therefore the sound becomes louder. "'Til it was a battle cry" I think this is referring to the battle between Satan and God for us, well, where we screwed up! "I'll come back When you call me No need to say goodbye" God WILL come back, as he does in the form of Jesus to save us later. Jesus says ask and u shall be given, and so when it says Ill come back when u call me, it's basically from God, saying that when u (human beings) need me the most and truly ask for me, I WILL come back to you. "Just because everything's changing Doesn't mean it's never been this way before" Just because we are out of God's kingdom, it doesn't mean that it was never like that. In the movie, as they are going out of Narnia, it doesnt mean that it never happened. "All you can do is try to know who your friends are As you head off to the war" The war is between us and God on one side and Satan on the other. We just need to have discernment and see what and who is our friend in this world. "Pick a star on the dark horizon And follow the light" Choose God in this whole dark world, as he says in the bible the word shines in the darkness. "You'll come back when it's over No need to say goodbye" God tells us that we will be back in his kingdom when all this war is over and if we rely on his we will come out victorious. "Now we're back to the beginning" We are getting closer and closer to the end of the world, which is living in his Kingdom, like the beginning. "It's just a feeling and no one knows yet But just because they can't feel it too Doesn't mean that you have to forget" As in the movie, where Lucy tells Aslan that no one believed her, and aslan says why should that keep you from believing? in the same way, a lot of the times we do not feel God's presence, but just because we can't feel it, or that people around us can't feel it, it doesnt mean that He is not there. "Let your memories grow stronger and stronger 'Til they're before your eyes" It is referring to our memories in God's Kingdom. "You'll come back When they call you No need to say goodbye" Basically, God will call us back to the heavens, and we will be reconciled. again, this is just something that I just THINK! there is NO evidence that it is true. Specially cuz Regina Spektor is a Jew and not a Christian (well, she still believes that God will come back to save us tho, so .. yeah!). :) |
