I've been going through some stuff when a friend brought my attention to Owl City in around 2009 or 2010 and since then I loved and hated Owl City. 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!^^'

Whenever I get writer's block, I listen to one or two Owl City song and it inspires my childish imagination and creativity and I remember how powerful words are and how when they fit right, they capture something that delivers elation. And that's what I love about language and about Adam's music. Owl City is my go to inspiration when I'm in a slump, angry, hurt, sad, lonely, or just in a good mood and wanting to hear awesome music

Oh, so beautiful. *contented sigh of happiness* I adore the beautiful titles of the songs. "Paper Tigers". I mean, what do you think when you read that? Could be anything. 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.

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 Taken from lyric interpretation

Jesus said this: "These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." John 16:33 (KJV). That is why we trust in Jesus Christ alone for our salvation. He is the giver of peace. We have peace when we know that we are protected. Jesus is our protector.
