He certainly did earn that reputation.
If Joan of Arc had a heart
Would she give it as a gift?
To such as me who longs to see
How an angel
Ought to be
Her dream is to give her heart away
Like an orphan along the way
She cared so much, she offered up
Her body to the grave
Would she give it as a gift?
To such as me who longs to see
How an angel
Ought to be
Her dream is to give her heart away
Like an orphan along the way
She cared so much, she offered up
Her body to the grave

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
The lyrics seem to reflect the themes of sacrifice, heroism, and admiration for those who give themselves fully for a cause or belief. The reference to Joan of Arc, a historical figure known for her bravery and sacrifice, suggests that the vocalist is contemplating the idea of selflessness and the willingness to give oneself for a cause or belief.
The lyrics ask, "If Joan of Arc had a heart, would she give it as a gift?" To such as me, who longs to see how an angel ought to be" indicate that the vocalist admires Joan of Arc's bravery and selflessness and wants to follow in her footsteps. The lines "She cared so much, she offered up her body to the grave" further reinforce the theme of sacrifice and selflessness.
As for the music video,
The use of chess in the video is an interesting metaphor. The chess game is a representation of the battle of wills and strategy between the two individuals. Chess represents the conflict between Joan of Arc and her enemies, as well as between her aspirations and realities, which is another symbol for the song's overall theme.
Her religious convictions and the loss of her spiritual guidance are symbolically represented by the crucifix that was fastened to the horse falling off and into the snow. The brief scene of Joan of Arc and the man continuing their game of chess while looking at one another represents the continuation of their conflict of wills and strategies.
Joan of Arc is hit by an arrow, which causes her to tumble from her horse. The action then shifts back to the chess player taking a piece from Joan of Arc's side of the board, signifying her defeat in the game.
Following that, Joan of Arc is captured and tied up. The scene then changes to a close-up of a fireplace, where Joan of Arc is seen looking at it and possibly reflecting on her fate and the ultimate price she paid.
The man giving her a cross is symbolic of her redemption and her return to her spiritual beliefs. The smile on her face and the man's smile back at her suggest a sense of understanding and acceptance of her fate. The other man not being able to see her symbolizes the idea that not everyone can see or understand the sacrifices made by others.
The man playing chess sees Joan of Arc pass by via the window on her horse, and off into the darkness as the video finishes. This scene suggests that Joan of Arc's spirit is free and at peace, but her physical body is not, which reinforces the theme of sacrifice and redemption in this conclusion.
