It seems all a...Not hugely impressed with the song. It seems all a bit too emo (if that isn't by this time a cartoon designation). I have to confess that I didn't make it to the end. Still, the sentiment in the lyrics is really interesting. <BR/><BR/>I suppose it has something to do with his own compassion for her. He feels angry at God (or sure of God's non-existence) for what has happened to someone he loves dearly, and his compassion and anger is such that he can't imagine why she isn't feeling angry either. <BR/><BR/>It's actually quite common. I know a fair few people who lost their faith completely after their loved ones suffered terribly or died, even when the loved ones in question—the ones who weren't dead—had no such qualms about continuing in their faith through the suffering. <BR/><BR/>It's sometimes quite easy to keep one's faith while suffering. it's something to hold on to. On the other hand, when someone you love suffers or dies, you feel for them because you love them. Your sympathy, your compassion is one of the highest and best feelings a human being can have, and yet... it doesn't change a thing. It's no wonder that the loved ones of people suffering often get angrier and sadder than the people who actually go through it. <BR/><BR/>It could go one about what happened when my friend got murdered, but I think that's best left for some time when we meet up face to face and talk about this stuff. <BR/><BR/>Maybe we'll get to do that sometime.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
