Stay

GUTEN TAG!

I realize that posting this at night and saying good morning in German is relatively senseless...but its my blog, so AHAA! Anywho! This is one of my FAVORITE flyleaf songs...I'm probably going to use the word FAVORITE for most of the songs I upload...but this one reeeally is fantastic! If you want to know the interpretation of the song, read below. If you just like good music, don't bother to read, and just enjoy the song! :D

At the start I will say that this song is sad...but this band sings about real life stories and circumstance that happen to them along their christian walk; whether its witnessing to someone, or down right professing the truth.
I'm going to explain the lyrics, because most people who listen to this song with me don't understand the song because of the poetic imagery Lacy Moseley (song writer) uses to describe the situation the person in this song is in.
The lyrics themselves explain a story about a person who is abused, both physically and emotionally. The part of the song where it says "dressed up like a car crash, your wheels are turning but your upside down" basically describes the persons life as a mess, and she's alive but numb. The part of the song where it says, “Vampire or a victim, it depends on who’s around.” means that the person acts differently according to her surroundings. “If you look, you look through me. And when you talk, its not to me. And when I touch you, you don’t feel a thing.” is going on to talk about the depression making the person numb. The chorus then goes on to say, "If I could stay, then the night would give you up, stay, then the day would keep its trust. Stay, and the night would be enough" is the singer (Lacey Mosley) saying that she wants to be there for her when she needs comfort...all she has to do is stay with her. The rest of the lyrics talk about how the singer (Lacey) tells the person that she’ll be there for them, if only they reach out for help.However the song makes it clear that this person is numb to the love around them because they are so close to the fear and sin they've been exposed to. “If you listen, I can call...If you jump, you just might fall...and if you shout, I’ll only hear you." Then, the very end, the person in the song, is the angel Lacey is singing about. “As an angel runs to ground, just a bang, and a clatter, as an angel hits the ground." The song was written because she was not able to save the persons physical body, however she was able to show the person Jesus, who ultimately saved their soul.

Is any among you suffering? let him pray. Is any cheerful? let him sing praise. 
-James 5:13 

Playing God

Hey guys! 

     I love this song! Its by one of my favorite bands, and its called "Playing God". Now before you say anything about the title, let me first explain to you what the meaning is behind the song. The line in the song that actually uses the phrase in the title says, "If Gods the game that you're play'n then we must get more acquainted, because it has to be so lonely to be the only one who's holy." And in that line she's explaining how lonely and miserable a life will be when you're are your own idol and you fail to acknowledge the fact that there is a much bigger and important picture. (That picture being a true God). The chorus is one of my favorite parts however. "I know you won't believe me, but the way I (way I) see it, the next time you point a finger I might have to bend it back or break it break it off! the next time you point a finger, i'll point you to the mirror." Which is basically just a personal spin on..."Why don't you take the plank out of your eye before you go looking for specks in mine!" Anyway, enjoy this song! Its great!


"And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?"
-Mathew 7:3

Tuesdays just aren't good days :|

Hello!

   Ah yes...the end of another Tuesday. I HATE TUESDAYS! Not so much because of what Tuesday has planed, but more because of what Its saying. What? You have no idea what I'm talking about?! Well allow me to further explain by saying that Tuesday is a MEAN DAY! Its all like..."Yaay, I'm not Monday anymore...and yet...I'm not Wednesday either!" Which basically interprets to, "I'm not the beginning of the school week...but u can't quite say that you're half way through"! So if you still don't understand what I'm trying to say...then all you really need to know is...ITS PERSONAL! Anyways, here are some pics from previous Tuesdays that still haunt me...its just not a good day...or is it?






This last one is my fav! =D

Piano! Piano!

Piano! Piano! Black and white!
When i play you i could take flight!
Across the oceans and into the hearts,
of all those who love the arts!
When i play a "C" i'm filled with glee!
No, no one could trifel with thee!
The picture you paint in the minds of all
could fill all of the ocean! Bach saw the
greatness in you and played with much devotion!
You speak with joy, and love, and passion, and
somtimes you are sad. But when i play your lovely
tune i can't help but feel glad!
But for now i say goodnight for i must go away,
but do not worry piano dear another day i'll play!

Ode to Bacon. :P

hello all! Please enjoy my latest poem. 

Oh my bacon!
you are the best!
untill I find thee,
I shall not rest!
With taste so great,
and smell so sweet,
Its a wonder you are the best meat.

When you are raw
you tempt me so!
and when your cooking,
I have to go.
cuz if I take you off the pan,
my mom will stop to spank my hand.

You drip with grease,
and sizzle divine,
you better watch out,
YOU'LL SOON BE MINE!

On any sandwhich,
you I'd eat,
In place of any sandwhich meat.

If you were a danzel in distress,
to climb the tower, I'd do my best,
I'd stand heroic, and as you'd swoon,
I'd take my fork, and then eat you!

Some drink soda,
and some drink tea,
but bacon juice is the drink for me.

Your salty flavor 
is so rare,
chocolate? chips? 
I couldn't care!

So if you fry,
bacon three,
I'll share one with you,
If there's two left for me
:D

Thanks for reading!

Psalm 27:14 Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!
