Guess who's back, back again? Andy's back! Tell a friend.

Dang! It's been FO-EVA since I've written on this! I really need to start writing more often! I got soooooo many lyrics that I've been writing, so many stories and plays and other such things brewing' and stormin in my head! I need to release them! So anyway, seeing as how it is very late on this Sunday night, this will be short. But anyways, so I'll just leave you with a little thought that I will build upon next week. Is there any sort of song that means something different now than it did a while ago or as sng that has a meaning at all now? This is what has happened with me recently. It started last December when my parents left the Vhurch. (LDS, for those who, for some reason, may be wondering.) I'm fine now, but at that time, it was really hard on me. It was like I hadFINALLY built up my strong and mighty castle and an earthquake came soon after to tear it down. Since then, I have been questioning all sorts of things relating to religion and the LDS Church. Since then, I still believe in this Church, but I have changed ever so slightly, mostly in opinions. Ah, this will actually lead into one such song I want to talk about. As much as I think religion can be a great thing, I honestly do not like religion, or at least as it is today. I still believe in many things a religion will teach, but I've kinda come to resent some things about religion. I think the world would be better off without it. There are so many things about it that I don't like. Actually, I don't wish that. What I wish is that people would stop being bigoted to each other and just be friends and love each other no matter WHAT the religion is. It amazes me just how conditional the love in our family is since my parents have apostized. God taught us to love EVERYBODY. Argh. Can you tell I'm a bit mad right now? Anyway, so despite the fact that there is so much good relating with religion, I just sometimes wish that it would go away. Actually, I just wish people would follow the core teachings of it a whole lot better.

So the sng I will show you tonight is called Evil Angel, by Breaking Benjamin. I recently heard this song a bit ago and I now see meaning behind it. I will talk about it next week, so as to let you figure a meaning out for yourself.

Hold it together, birds of a feather
Nothing but lies and crooked wings
I have the answer spreading the cancer
You are the faith inside me

No, don't leave me to die here
Help me survive here alone
No, don't remember, remember

Put me to sleep, evil angel
Open your wings, evil angel

I'm a believer, nothing could be worse
All these imaginary friends
Hiding betrayal, driving the nail
Hoping to find a savior

No, don't leave me to die here
Help me survive here alone
Don't surrender, surrender

Put me to sleep, evil angel
Open your wings, evil angel
Fly over me, evil angel
Why can't I breathe, evil angel?

Put me to sleep, evil angel
Open your wings, evil angel
Fly over me, evil angel
Why can't I breathe, evil angel?
