Interisting song lyrics

[OwnedByJesus]

As I was going through some old mp3s I had, I came across this song and the lyrics are amazingly clear.
I question with caution: as God speaks through us can satan speak through others? Or is it just our own evil desires?


I added my thoughts in the () brackets. I think it's interisting that songs can almost be studies of our sinful flesh nature. The song writter know there is a problem but is unwilling to submit, instead there is an angry, sinister tone and the 'all is good by me' thought.
I rather enjoyed the smooth sound of this song, but the words are repulsive to me now.

The song is by Sarah Mclachlan. BTW, anyone want a CD? :freaked :lol

Adia I do believe I failed you (knowing of sin?)
Adia I know I let you down (falling to repent)
Don't you know I tried so hard to love you in my way (my way, could be anything)
It's easy let it go... Adia I'm empty since you left me (cannot be around sin)
Trying to find a way to carry on
I search myself and everyone to see where we went wrong
'Cause there's no one left to finger
There's no one here to blame (really?)
There's no one left to talk to honey and thete ain't no one to buy our innocence 'Cause we are born innocent (cost of sin is death, paid for by Christ for those who believe)
Believe me adia
We are still innocent (no, we are not)
It's easy
We all falter (yes, but we (those in Christ) are not slaves to sin any longer)
Does it matter? Adia I thought that we could make it
But I know I can't change the way you feel (tone seems to change.)
I leave you with your misery a friend who won't betray
I pull you from your tower (we know who want to be like the Most High)
I take away your pain and show you all the beauty you possess
If you'd only let yourself believe That we are born innocent
Believe me adia
We are still innocent
It's easy
We all falter
Does it matter?
Believe me adia
We are still innocent
'Cause we are born innocent
Adia we are still
It's easy
We all falter...but does it matter?

I do not desire to start a bebate about secular music, I'm sure we have all had our fair share in it. I just thought this song was very interisting in it's stance.

I'm not sure that I would agree with your interpreation of the song...I, personally, think, you're stretching the meaning to something spiritual and anti-God when that's not even the point of the song, (which I feel is very materialistic and about a physical relationship).

:confused Wasn't this song written for her daughter? Just curious because I have heard that it was, but I'm not sure........Just wondering.......:D:

Thanks for your response chrislb and Danielle.

I know it may seem I over analyzed this song. However, we are spiritual beings and I tend to view things more spiritual and with a Biblical view.
I find it interesting that this song claims we are born innocent and that there is no need to pay for our innocents because we already are.

As it is with many songs, they are vague in meaning but full of feeling.

When you read about the parables Jesus says, do you see spiritual meaning or just of nice words? When you read about Joshua do you see spiritual meaning or just a neat story? So when I hear songs you may be able to see how I apply my spiritual understanding. Do I over analyze? Perhaps.

As for the meaning of the song:

"I'm not quite sure how to explain this one, but uh...I guess more than anything it's about my problems in dealing with feeling responsible for everybody else."

Thanks for your response chrislb and Danielle.

Do you or anyone else view things, including music, as spiritual except me?
We are in a spiritual war; does anyone think music plays a part?

I know what you mean...sometimes I will hear phrases or lines in songs and say to myself, "self...it is so messed up that the writer believes this way."

Nevertheless, unless it is something that is meant to have an underlying spiritual meaning, as the books of the Bible you mentioned, I try to stick to what the writer intended it to mean......b/c, oftentimes, lines in songs aren't always what the author actually believes but an artistic expression that sounds good when on paper and with the music.
