tool - wings for marie pts 1 & 2 for the lyrics. the writer's mother was bedridden for 10,000 days before dying yet still kept faith in her religion, yet the writer hates religion and detests his mother's faith (which is made quite clear in this song [link]http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/323/[/link]). this song is beautiful because, despite the writer's disdain for his mother's faith in a god who ruined her life, he admits that if anyone deserves to go to heaven, it's her, and he basically tells god to let her the fuck in.

between the buried and me - backwards marathon for the lyrics. it's about the writer's love of music, how he was contemplating giving up music because it doesn't seem worth it at times, but in the end he can't give up doing what he loves.

between the buried and me - mordecai for personal reasons. as cheesy as it sounds, this song helped me "discover myself". to do the song an injustice and sum it up very briefly, it's about freeing yourself from the expectations of others and doing what you want to do in order to find your own happiness in life. plus, the solo at the end is fucking gorgeous.
