This is one of the most powerful VNV songs, I'm surprized that there aren't more comments on it. I've noticed VNV's 'populars' tend to be songs about a lost love. I saw VNV live for the first time on the first date of the US futureperfect tour. It changed my life forever. I've loved VNV from the first time I heard their music. I was way into their lyrics, but never fully understood what they 'really' meant, to me. When I saw them live, I took on a new understanding of them and outlook on my life.
The first VNV song I heard was "solitary" and I was always attatched to the lyrics "if rain brings winds of change, let it rain on us forever - i have no doubt from what i've seen, that i have never wanted more" When they preformed this live, they announced to the crowd that this was their 'anthem', this song is about being who you are and wanting nothing more out of life. To "cast away this wretched world of teathers" (to cast away those who can't accept you for who you are) becuase you have no doubt in who you are and what you know about this world, and you want nothing more than that, to be who you are. And when I reflect on those lyrics, it makes me think of how shitty things have happened in my life, but if it wern't for those things, I wouldn't know what I know today, and I wouldn't have expierienced the feelings I've felt, -in otherwords.. i wouldn't be who i was today if it wasn't for what has happend to me in the past- so, I have never wanted more than what I know/have learned, and felt and lived. :) -someone stop me!!! once i start talking about vnv I don't stop... :x
