"My forehead no longer sweet
With holy kisses worthy of your fiery lips
I was floating in a peaceful sea
Rescued by a sinking ship" - like how a child is born in a sinful world. i love that part 'i was floating in a peaceful sea' (in the womb you're still a child of God) 'rescued by a sinking ship' (being born in a sinful world.. from the moment we're born we start dying. sinking ship=evanescence?
My 2 cents :)
Also check out this interview with Aaron:
L: Alright, first of all... I read in other interviews you’re 26 years old and you’re an aquarius; is January 1979 the month of your birth?
A: Yeah, me and our old bass player Daniel, who just left the band.
L: Yeah, I heard about that.
A: Yeah, we were both born the same day, the same year, so I thought ‘I’ve got to write a song about it.’
L: Alright, so that’s what the song’s about?
A: Yeah, well, not just that. It starts out... the first verse is about being born but then it goes on from there. I don’t remember much about that day.
