@malditoMW and @Wrcraftgamers I'm telling the truth. Did you see how he pointed to God at the end of the song? The song was inspired by his faith. If you don't believe that it's fine, but Adam has said it himself that this song is about his Savior Jesus. :)
It doesn't really matter the meaning, it could mean something different to everyone as it does to Adam. It's a beautiful song, and so magical. Instead of arguing over its meaning, appreciate how wonderful this song really is.<3
I mean I'm 100% atheist. But come on, do we have to see that he's religious on every single video of him? I'm not bashing faith or anything, but it's slightly annoying to see people stating the obvious on EVERY owl city song.
I bet there were a million things going through Adam's mind while singing this song... One of them being his faith in God. Adam just... Amazes me. Words can't describe his music. So he adds a tune.
"I am not my own.... For I have been made new.
Please don't let me go.... I desperately need you..."
I love this song. When i first heard it I didn't know that it was about his rebirth, but now that I do, I love this song and this group so much more :)
The story about this song being about a girlfriend dying is 100% a RUMOR. Adam has mentioned in a couple interviews that the song was inspired by his faith. The song is about Jesus. He's saying that he is a new creation in Christ and he can't live without Him. He desperatly needs the Lord to guide him everyday. :)
@MsMusicjunkie91 Ah, I hate when people say it's about his girlfriend dying... same thing with Vanilla Twilight. There was no death of his girlfriend!
@vampire00rose My parents did. I don't claim to know how the Earth was created. Christianity is arrogance. They claim to know how the earth was created and what happens after death, without ever experiencing death or being around at the time of the Earth's creation. The Bible never talks about dinosaurs but we know now that they existed some 60 million years ago. Religious people are continually trying to fit science (which has evidence) into their faith when there should be no faith at all.
At the show I went to in April, he said he wrote "Meteor Shower" as a song of Praise for God and at the end he shouted "I need you!"...sooo, I'm guessing he's just focused on the message of it, not sad. :]
esta cancion me provoca algo inexplicable, ganas de llorar, de gritar, muchas emociones. hermosa cancion, muy bien hecha, dura lo necesario. increiible!
this is just a theory, but like, you know how vanilla twilight was supposedly written for a girlfriend of his who died? i dunno it sounds like thats what this song might be about too, and when he points upwards he might be pointing to her? i dunno. just a thought.
@liz280793 have u 2 been to his recent concerts? The one in Boston it was taking about that space flight the Conqueror where no one made it out alive. Which is what its about. Soooooooo. Its about a space flight.. its settled =P..
@Insid30ut oh k..i don't know how the "i can finally see that you're right there beside me" and "please don't let me go, i desperately need you" fit into that but i trust you haha
@Insid30ut Lol...no....care to explain why he was pointing to the sky when he said "I desperately need you"? I mean, that really makes no sense...and for the record, it was the Challenger. Not the Conqueror.
