I was thinking for a blog name the one day. I didn’t want to choose something arb. I needed to have meaning, and sound good. At the time two songs were forever playing in my head and even though these songs separately have deep meaning to me, the combination of their titles made up something totally unique and sacred.
I could not decide for a while whether to share this meaning or keep it to myself. You should really make up your own meaning behind it. It could mean something personal to you. Anyway I reckon it’s an awesome title! I have decided to try explain me reason behind this title as maybe it’s would clarify just a bit about me.
Trapping Angels is a Tori Amos song which I for the life of me will not try and explain to you. I believe Tori Amos is one of those artists that you either love or hate. And that her lyrics speak to everyone on a different levels. None of her songs are really just straightforward “stories”. Sometimes one can argue that they are just plain weird! The lyrics follow below. You figure it out! LOL
Rearviewmirror is a Pearl Jam song that totally empowered me with the breakdown of a few relationships. I’ve added the lyrics below for the sake of interest. I believe it’s very self-explanatory.
I believe as human’s we are forever checking our rearviewmirror. There are not many people who never look back on life, and never reflect on what happened in their past. I also believe that I often try mask some of what happened in my past. I often think I try and trap angels in my rearviewmirror. So when I look back, it wasn’t that bad and my angels were there to protect me. Maybe that means I am not true to myself? Maybe I still live in that fairytale world? But when I look back, those angels uplift me, they tell me “girl, you’ve made it this far, you can go on”.
Rearviewmirror
I took a drive today
Time to emancipate
I guess it was the beatings
Made me wise
But I’m not about to give thanks, or apologise
I couldn’t breathe, holdin’ me down
Hand on my face, pushed to the ground
Enmity gauged, united by fear
Forced to endure what I could not forgive…
I seem to look away
Wounds in the mirror waved
It wasn’t my surface most defiled
Head at your feet, fool to your crown
Fist on my plate, swallowed it down
Enmity gauged, united by fear
Tried to endure what I could not forgive
Saw things x4
Clearer x2
Once you, were in my rearviewmirror
I gather speed from you f@#$ with me
Once and for all I’m far away
I hardly believe, finally the shades….are raised…
Saw things so much clearer once you, once you x2
Rearviewmirror
Trapping angels
And with a wink
And a smile
You toss your instructions on
How to catch a train
While it’s moving
You always were the one
That kept us all guessing
How you could survive
The fall you had
From Medicine Men
To my DJ friends
They all have said
“he’s got to watch his back”
CHORUS
They’re trapping angels
By to
But it’s not how you think
You’d be surprised
They Liberate
Your Dreamscape
Till you can’t remember
To recall
Where your wings
Have gone
Tell me where they’ve gone
From
Another child is born
Trusting that we’ll get it
Right this time
I should’ve worn my glasses
You said just to trust
Then you chose
To sign the dotted line
From Modern Magdalenes
To my DJ friends
They all have said
‘he’s got to watch his back”
CHORUS
Before I close my eyes at night
I can still see you smilin’
Before the Truth was
Buried Alive
Did we prize it
Before you change the world
Maybe boy you should change
Your girl
They’re trapping angels
By the
They’re trapping angels
Lord I know this
They’re trapping angels
By to
But we’re getting closer
I said we’re getting closer
To where they’ve gone
Tell me where they’ve gone
Now it won’t be long
