my friend is hardcore christian and he looks on the down side of everything, he doesn't give anything a chance if it`s not in the bible or if God tells him it (he has the power of disearnment as well) (he says) but if you look really close everything can mean differnet things, for example i read this (my part is inside the **) There's a lady who's,sure All that glitters is gold And she's buying a stairway to heaven. *there is this lady who is shurr she wants to die* When she gets there she knows If the stores are all closed With a word she can get what she came for. *She thinks ohh shit i cant buy my drugs* Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven. *she will OD and die and she is aware of this* There's a sign on the wall But she wants to be sure 'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings. *She knows she will die but the two meanings are heaven and hell* In a tree by the brook There's a songbird who sings, Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven. *god is always there and always leading you but satan is there too and mis leadiong us. leading uss toeard hell* Ooh, it makes me wonder, Ooh, it makes me wonder. *OOh it makes me wonder if God is out there* There's a feeling I get *high* When I look to the west, And my spirit is crying for leaving. *She is dieing and she know it and want to leave* In my thoughts I have seen Rings of smoke through the trees, And the voices of those who standing looking. *smokin bot gets u high and as you exhale the smoke goes up and you gety closer to death... you are now high and voices are in your head* Ooh, it makes me wonder, Ooh, it really makes me wonder. *Is God Out there? Some where* And it's whispered that soon If we all call the tune Then the piper will lead us to reason. *when you die if your saved God will take us to heaven* And a new day will dawn For those who stand long And the forests will echo with laughter. *youll be in heaven and happy while you stand with God ate the gated of heaven* If there's a bustle in your hedgerow Don't be alarmed now, It's just a spring clean for the May queen. Yes, there are two paths you can go by But in the long run There's still time to change the road you're on. *if there is something penetrating your bariaer(satin trying to enter your life) Its ok, its satin trying to perpat you for hell and hate againt god, but there is still time to follow God, and he will keep you away with your choise of believing or not.* And it makes me wonder. Your head is humming and it won't go In case you don't know, The piper's calling you to join him, *times running up God is telling you to go to Him.* Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, And did you know Your stairway lies on the whispering wind. *Can you hear God calling? you cant get to heaven unless thro him.* And as we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our soul. There walks a lady we all know Who shines white light and wants to show How everything still turns to gold. *And as we all believe in GOd, there is more noon believers than believers,if we're in heaven yhoull se her and we'll ask her how she managed.* And if you listen very hard The tune will come to you at last. When all are one and one is all To be a rock and not to roll. *if you listen to what God is saying, he will let you know wen we all are in heaven as 1family and we then are broken agian. and we should be solid not something to fly by.* And she's buying a stairway to heaven. *And she put her life to risk.* i thought it was pretty nice, but point is, my friend says God doesn't want us to conform this world that HE MADE, do you think this is true? do you think God wants us to look at the bad of everything and not the good? kind of a pointoless thread but it`s just on my mind right now
ive seen people say "oh piper means devil", BUT what do you think? I think it means God. anything different? think what you wnat, the good or the bad, it's in ur mind
also i heard that the upside cross was actually a good symbol because it a saint was going to be crucified but he couldn't compare himself to Jesus so he told them to crucify him upside down symbolizing that he was not worthy of Jesus, lol there is seriously so many ways you can interpret anything i don't know how some people can be so closed-minded
I agree with alot of what you said grateful. In fact I think the simplist songs can be the most meaningful; Row, row, row, your boat gently down the stream, *go with life's flow, relax and take it as it comes* Merrily, merrily, merrily merrily, *Have fun, don't take it all too seriously, just enjoy the ride because...* Life is but a dream. *Life's an illusion and we're all going to wake up someday. I think alot of religious people have memorised the sheet music but they've never heard the song.
