| Sorry for DP.
I'm kind of seeing The Cross as more desperate and painful at the moment than a revenge song. I guess you can interpret it how you want though. The chorus sounds pretty desperate though. It's just the 'ah's that change the meaning really. The acoustic one sounds a lot less sarcastic. It's more delicate and vunerable I guess. Maybe thats why I'm getting a more desperate feel to it.
One of my favourite WT songs. I hadn't listened to it in ages before today. | |

| I've always seen it as a desperate and painful song. That's how it's always show itself to me. The 'ah's actually sound like crying or screaming to me--not laughing. | |

| I love The Cross! It's definitely on my Top 10 Favorites! I love everything about it; the lyrics, the transitions, the tempo, the "feel", the "ah's", the instrumentals, everything! I don't know, but I feel like the beginning of the song starts a lot more slower, delicate, sensitive, "sad", and more vulnerable (and I think it was done purposely) because the more it advances and the closer it gets to the end, it gets more powerful, dynamic, it feels faster, and more determined. And I feel that that's what makes this song so powerful and awesome! I can't really explain it, but point is, I love this song so much! | |
