    I used to love Owl City, but then for a while I couldn't listen to his music because it sounded too happy for me. But now I feel like I can start enjoying his songs again. And the thought of that honestly kinda makes me wanna cry.

The music is great, but even after so many years just a single chord can destroy me. Adam Young always understood how to transport emotions and tie them to ones soul. Tonight I made the mistake to listen to his music again and yeah, I am devastated!^^'

    I fell into Owl City off a Hot Air Balloon and rode a Strawberry Avalanche through a cool, Peppermint Winter. I arrived at a place where Fuzzy Blue Lights glowed on the Designer Skyline. There, I met a girl with Rainbow Veins that smiled like a Deer In The Headlights. We ran to the Tip Of An Iceberg and watched 10 million Fireflies flutter in the Vannila Twilight. As she was leaving, i told her I'll Meet You There. Then I watched as the rockets carried her away into an Alligator Sky - if you like owl city this will make sence

    I believe this is a song about a breakup.
    Well I've been huddled up alone
    By the fire even though
    I'm not exactly feeling cold
    He's trying to regain a sense of normalcy and doesn't really know what to do with himself.
    I've been bundled up for days
    Too confused to be amazed
    At all the icy water in my veins
    He hasn't done much since the breakup
    Why do I feel so alone?
    He's single and feels like a part of him is missing.
    Yeah I've been moving in and out
    Of this old split level house
    But I'd just as soon burn the whole place down
    He feels lonely in his house all by himself. Things around there remind him of his ex
    Cause I quit working lumberyards
    To build a mansion out of cards
    But I feel so thin behind these paper walls
    He quit something steady to do something risky (music business). He's built himself up (lives in a big house and is famous) but he still feels empty.
    'Cause the angriest bark is always worse than the bite
    Maybe when the breakup occurred, they had a fight, and insults were exchanged. Things said in their anger hurt even more than the breakup and her leaving.
    Like the ache in my chest my heart didn't invite
    He didn't realize it would hurt like this
    'Cause if the prettiest romance isn't perfectly right
    Then every love lost is a holiday every night
    If all relationships have flaws, then why bother? He might as well be better off single
    Well I've been painting through the night
    In the basement out of sight
    Brushing paper tigers black and white
    He's been trying to do things to occupy his time. He tries to simplify the complex issues. Paper tigers are a metaphor for a tough exterior but weaker interior. These represent complex issues. Brushing them black and white represents trying to simplify his problems.
    'Cause come tomorrow afternoon
    I'll fill a helium balloon
    And set them free into the baby blue sky
    He'll let go of his problems
    So they won't have to be alone
    Taking the paper tigers as literal in this line, he doesn't want anything else to feel his loneliness. In a way, he is saying he wishes he were like the paper tigers and not alone
    But when I close these heavy lids after dark
    Each sweet dream is a target
    And all my shots are so consistently wide of the mark
    He is unable to sleep because of nightmares. These are most likely caused by his breakup. This could also represent that he believes he makes bad decisions in picking partners, as he's always wide of the mark. The dream could represent a dream relationship.
    But how my heartache hit the trail
    When a paper tiger tail
    Fluttered down, I guess I'll never know
    A part of his past problems came back to haunt him, but they now seemed insignificant to him. He felt better, because he saw his problems in a different light. He felt that they could be tackled and that his heartache and loneliness were temporary. This could also be that he saw a reminder of something positive in his sadness (painting paper tigers) which made him feel better.
    This is all my interpretation. Who knows, he could've had something totally different in mind

    It's been awhile since I've heard this song. In honesty, I forgot how much I love it. I remember listening to this song when I was a bit younger, and for whatever reason it seemed so beautiful to me that made me want to cry. I stumbled upon this song once again by mistake, and am happy to say it still gives me the same feeling.

But that's what I love about Owl City. Not the face, not the sound, but the WORDS. The words paint a permanent melody of love and happiness and sadnness and contentness in my soul that lingers forever. The song titles are beautiful, and the words in the song don't have to focus all on the title, they just tell their own story.

It's human nature to dislike people who have different veiwpoints, so don't blame religion, and most definitely don't blame christianity.
