What Does Lighthouses Mean
what does lighthouses mean
arcade fire song the well and the lighthouse?
What do you think this song is about and how about the lyrics Resurrected
Living in a lighthouse
If you leave the ships are gonna wreck
Resurrected
Living in a lighthouse
The lions and the lambs ain't sleeping yet
what do you think it means
I'm not sure, but this is what hoboghost said it meant.
"A dramatization of death and resurrection: the death, in the well, that is doubt where "heaven is only in my head" and the resurrection of faith, what "he desires" to be true not what he "fears to be true." Hence the speaker is resurrected and hopes for the Kingdom of God where the lamb and the lion lie down together (dwell together/sleep in the same field) without violence.
See Isaiah 11:6
"The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them."
Without this hope of "the lighthouse" "ships are gonna wreck." Ships here being the oft used symbol for the soul/person on the chaotic ocean of life.
But wait, there is irony: "Can you see the funny side? The ships are gonna wreck" Even with the light of the lighthouse, people are still going to wreck their ships. This communicates the tension between faith and actuality: one keeps hoping for the Kingdom, even though the "lions and the lambs ain't sleep'n yet," even though we aren't there yet and bad things are still going to happen.
This is an artful song about going through trials of doubt and coming through to the other side with a renewed hope in the Kingdom of God." - http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858645805/

People joke that the start of a couple's marriage means the end of their sex life. David Schnarch, a sex therapist praised by Pepper Schwartz, uses epiphany-laden conversations taken directly from his own marriage and the married couples he sees in practice to help readers defy the myth that marriages are necessarily passionless, and instead prove that the longer a couple has been together, the higher the fireworks can fly... |
