Discover Song Meanings

After learning that Travis Meeks is autistic, I feel this song may reflect his struggles with autism. Not knowing when to listen, or what to listen for, is a social deficit which autistic people tend to have. Other key phrases which make me believe this is a song about the struggles autistic individuals face is the sense of not belonging, (I don't belong here no more), and hiding within one's self in plain sight (I can hide in the shelf in the room).

This song is about a mother losing her son, the crow is a representative of the sons memory that is chasing the mother which is represented as the butterfly. When the lyrics say the things about painting the room and putting the books on the top shelf it shows that she's having trouble sleeping and is attempting to get over him, where she is wrapping his pictures in newspaper blankets is her putting away all the reminders of him so that she'll hopefully get over him, but his memory hits hard. Where it goes "your words still serenade me, and your lullaby's they wont let me sleep i haven't slept in what seems like a century" suggests that she is struggling to be able to sleep at all because his memory is haunting her and his lullaby's won't leaver her head because of how much she misses him.

this could have been about a father grieving the loss of his daughter via death or even via shes changing because of the guy shes hanging out with. Yes the explanation of him grieving via death does make since but there is also the daughter he loved was changing and straying far from what she could've been, the queen. Also the man being explained could be the man changing her because younger females typically go for the edgier or more bad boy vibe guys, which you can believe since the lead singer and his best friend and band mate along with 2 others wrote this song and the lead singer has a 18 year old daughter now. So the singer's daughter was about 15 when this was released, so yes that could be it. or it could stray so far from the actual meaning.

While used to play. The time has us by. When I was small and Christmas trees tall, Now we are tall and Chistmas trees small.
Compare with not the BeeGees but Albert Au's version

Today I face my truth
Your the owner of you body
And I keep being the same one that goes looking for your
love
Before I could not see
Once I remove the bandages I see you die for him

And if you go
Who will give me
Everything I ever dreamed
Who will tell the heart
That never ever will I have you

I would like to have you in every spring
Be able to love you my own way
Stay up all night
Care for your dreams I would like that

Give you away every second

this isn't an interpretation, the song is about fake Christian bands, in particular the band as i lay dying, they said they were christian at first, trying to weasel their way into the christian music market. but, the lead singer tried to kill his wife, said it was all a fake, saying "rock bands fake faith" and ryan kirby and the band fit for a king called them out. absolutely roasting them in the process.
