After the temple was destroyed, the foundation was supposed to have been left as a visual kick in the teeth for Jews, who instead have historically rallied around it, viewing it instead as a reminder of G-d's presence throughout their persecution and struggles. This fits with the explanation gdsaverellogg relayed.</p> <p>Jews also believe that G-d pays some special attention to the Wall, so it's a really good place to have your prayers heard by Him. You might be familiar with the image of prayers written on pieces of paper and left in the cracks of the Wall. </p> <p>Those lines always Really Affect me (the caps are needed) as a Jew because the desperation and isolation they belay fits in with the history of the Wall and its special place as a sort of intercom to G-d.</p> <p>Keep in mind, of course, that Stephen wasn't necessarily aware of all of this when writing the lyric, though. </p> <p>(I don't know much about the Wall as a Muslim holy place, but the Wikipedia article someone else linked to, in all of Wikipedia's infallible glory, does say that Muslims also regard the Wall as holy. Evidently, the term Wailing Wall is derived from the Arabic name for it. A quick search of the <a href="http://www.britannica.com/eb/topic-640934/Western-Wall">Encyclopaedia Britannica</a> does agree that it is significant to Muslims.) </p> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/glassjaw-boxer-discussion/page/2#post-379 Mon, 13 Aug 2007 20:15:20 +0000 Laura 379@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>Marissa- I couldn't have put it better </p> <div class="signature">~Laura, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/lburtrocktography" rel="nofollow">http://www.myspace.com/lburtrocktography</a></div> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/glassjaw-boxer-discussion/page/2#post-378 Mon, 13 Aug 2007 20:06:57 +0000 godsaverellogg 378@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>kimi, you kaki metumtam. </p> <p>you're thinking of the dome of the rock, that big gold dome near the kotel. the kotel is definitely not a muslim site, promise.</p> <p>(ps, sorry for interrupting everyone elses sensical conversations!!) </p> <div class="signature">-- Lauren</div> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/glassjaw-boxer-discussion/page/2#post-361 Mon, 13 Aug 2007 14:53:10 +0000 ams484 361@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>i really like that theory, marissa... puts a whole new light on it for me. </p> <div class="signature">-amanda</div> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/glassjaw-boxer-discussion/page/2#post-354 Mon, 13 Aug 2007 13:34:52 +0000 Marissa 354@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>Just my two cents, but it seems to me that the reference in the line "Wailing Walls, how could you give up on me?" is referring to the idea that the person in the song has chosen to withdraw himself from friends, family, etc...In the song, he is coming to the realization that he needs someone other than himself, even though he created the situation, and is looking for the cabin to fill some void but is realizing that the solitude he has isn't enough to sustain him anymore. The Wailing Wall in Jerusalem is a place of refuge for people of faith to pray and feel close to God. By comparing the cabin to the Wailing Wall, the character is feeling like this personal space that once was a place for refuge for him to seek solitude isn't providing for him the way that it once did. The line "Wailing Walls blacker than you've ever seen" is probably just there to further emphasize how alone and desperate the character in the song is feeling. </p> <p>Again, I don't really know, but that is my good ol' college effort at trying to dissect the song...Do with it what you wish... </p> <div class="signature"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/marissaskaggs" rel="nofollow">http://www.facebook.com/marissaskaggs</a></div> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/glassjaw-boxer-discussion/page/2#post-350 Sun, 12 Aug 2007 22:53:13 +0000 acoustic11 350@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>Not the place for an argument, but Lauren it is a holy site for Muslims as well.</p> <p>But yeah I guess it doesn't have anything to do with the song. </p> <div class="signature">- Kim</div> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/glassjaw-boxer-discussion/page/2#post-349 Sun, 12 Aug 2007 22:11:20 +0000 godsaverellogg 349@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>Okay, the Wailing Wall is the Kotel in Jerusalem, a holy site for Jews, and not Muslims. It's the last remaining wall of the Temple Mount... and I was just there! It was right outside my window when I was rellogging... haha</p> <p>I don't think it has anything to do with SK's wailing wall though, huh? </p> <div class="signature">-- Lauren</div> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/glassjaw-boxer-discussion/page/2#post-348 Sun, 12 Aug 2007 18:25:00 +0000 Marissa 348@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>At the Acoustic Cafe shows (12/30), SK seemed to allude to the idea that it was Kirsten, and that they had been driving through the mountains and saw this cabin that was alone with nothing really around it. He said that she never tells him to write about a particular topic, so when she said he should write about the cabin, he took it seriously and the result was 'Cabin in the Woods'...Such a wonderful song!! </p> <div class="signature"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/marissaskaggs" rel="nofollow">http://www.facebook.com/marissaskaggs</a></div> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/glassjaw-boxer-discussion/page/2#post-342 Sat, 11 Aug 2007 16:10:59 +0000 godsaverellogg 342@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>At the Tin Angel he said it was about being depressed, looking back on it, and realizing there was nothing to be sad about. Something like that. </p> <div class="signature">-- Lauren</div> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/glassjaw-boxer-discussion/page/2#post-339 Sat, 11 Aug 2007 13:38:01 +0000 AnthemSoSweet 339@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>Oooh thanks guys.

They had been driving by this cabin lodged way up on some mountain and she asked him to write a song about it for her. Or something to that extent. Am I making that up? Does anyone else remember that? </p> <p>Anyway right now I'm loving Hearts in Pain. This album really surprised me. It hits home in so many ways. Can't wait for the fall tour! 2 nights in Boston are gonna rock </p> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/glassjaw-boxer-discussion#post-318 Thu, 09 Aug 2007 23:47:06 +0000 AnthemSoSweet 318@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>Aye, I didn't know that either. Clearly I am missing the religious references, since I was really stuck on who the "Agnes" was they were referring to in the song, only for it to be brought to my attention it is probably saint Agnes. </p> <div class="signature">~ Jen</div> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/glassjaw-boxer-discussion#post-302 Wed, 08 Aug 2007 20:56:22 +0000 neddi 302@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>don't worry, i didn't know what <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Wall">the wailing wall</a> was either :/ but he says wailing walls, perhaps it's not a direct reference. </p> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/glassjaw-boxer-discussion#post-300 Wed, 08 Aug 2007 19:28:09 +0000 sarah 300@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <p>this is where i feel dumb.<br /> thanks. </p> <div class="signature">something dies when you grow older, but you do the best you can</div> http://sk6ersfans.com/topic/glassjaw-boxer-discussion#post-288 Wed, 08 Aug 2007 17:27:34 +0000 acoustic11 288@http://sk6ersfans.com/ <blockquote><p>Oh, and I like that one reviewer's comment about the "Yankee Sixers" If we all work together, we can make that Soucy's nickname, okay guys?</p></blockquote> <p>It hurt me so much to hang up my 2006er tour poster 'cause Souce had written "Let's GO METS!" on it.
