Think some of you are missing a big part of this song. The WAR has taken not just her sweetheart away, but also her dreams & plans for the future as well as her faith in God. In the first verse, she's showing off pictures of her nephew BECAUSE she has no kids of her own and is forced to live vicariously through her sister. Clearly, she had aspirations of having a family with The Greek. Her questioning of her religious faith is evident in the 2nd verse. She goes to type for Father Mike because it "gets her out". Also, Jesus is looking at her from "way up there on the wall". This indicates that she feels distant from Jesus Christ and that her faith is something she struggles with. This is a very tragic tail indeed. |
