On The Meaning Of The Song Adam Duritz Said This On Storytellers "I Write Quite A Few Songs Where The Sort Of Issue Is Faith Having Faith Keeping Faith And This Song In Particular Is About The Difficulty In Having Faith In Things And Finding Things To Have Faith In In Yourself In God In Like He Said In A Woman. Faith Is A Weird Thing It In A Sense It Is All About Waiting. It's Not Actually About Getting Anything You Know Faith Is About The Wait Because Once You Get Something There Is No Need Anymore And So A Lot About Faith Is Just The Willingness To Sort Of Throw Yourself On A Fence And Hang There For A While. That's A Very Difficult And Bitter Thing You Know. In This Song The I Keep Saying The Main Character 'I' I Said 'All My Sins I Would Pay For Them If I Could Come Back To You' It's Not Just About Finding Things To Believe In. It's About Wanting To Be Able To Believe In Anything Too And It's About All The Voices That Get Inside Your Head And Whisper For You To Do It Or Not To Do It As Well And It's Called "Angels Of The Silences"."
