| Lenny Kravitz – Are You Gonna Go My Way? Lyrics

i always thought that this song was about jesus too. about his ideas of peace. i like this song, though i don't consider myself religious. i was born christian and was baptized christian. but it seems to me that religion has little to do with peace and much to do with fear, and control. it's not that i don't believe in jesus, i just think that the fear in the heart of man has added a lot to the bible.how can you say, love thy neighbor as thyself, except if they are...whatever the difference is. it just seems so strange to me.

i love the video to this song. so amazing. it really adds a lot to the meaning of the song. the album version is so soft and sweet and "girly". and then the video is so angry and harsh. the opposite. but it just shows how girls feel both ways. they have a range of emotion but the anger and harshness is something that we teach them to ignore. just like we teach boys to ignore the soft sweetness. i love at the end when she steals that red firebird, a symbol of masculinity and everything that men aspire to be, and smashes it. very powerful. this video is filled with powerful imagery, but that was the most poignant. i'm not a girl, but i'm gay. so i can relate somewhat. cus guys see me, and it's like i'm throwing away my birthright to be better than girls or something. i'm not sure what is so threatening about being gay. i don't even like to label myself as gay, but guys are so hot. and society needs to be able to label me so that they know how to treat me. i guess. which reminds me, i also love when she runs down the guys playing hockey, cus there were times in highschool when i would have loved to have done something like that to some of the guys who harassed me. i'd could never, i'm very anti-violence, i can't even kill bugs, but you know. fantasy and all. |

wow. thank you. that's how i see it too. i hate when people say, who is she to tell me all of these things are meaningless, she has it all. but really, who better to hear it from? everyone is so obsessed with all of the nonsense we have added to this world and they think that they can't be happy without it. without the status it provides. but she has it all and still isn't happy, or it isn't what makes her happy i should say. this whole album was very inspirational to me. it marked a turning point in my life. i'm not at all rich or famous but i am very familiar with selfishness and greed and caring about what people think of me and how the image i present can alter their perceptions. it all seems so stupid now looking back. but as stupid as it all is, it's so dangerous since it seems like reality. it's drilled into our heads for so long, from so many different sources that we can't even recognize what's right in front of us anymore. it all becomes distorted by our own twisted perceptions of what we think is important. and then something comes along. a message, i guess. actually they come along quite often, but you're so self absorbed that you don't even notice, but sometimes something happens and it's like, what am i doing? why am i so unhappy? what is really important to me?
um, yeah. it's just nice to read that someone gets what she's talking about, like the message, rather than the literal words. even though the literal words are how she's sending the message, they can't fully explain what she means. i think, i mean how can i even say that i fully understand what she means? i can't. |

i think this song shows how people use religion as an excuse to behave horribly. you say a prayer and everything is forgiven and then you continue to act selfishly knowing that wou will be forgiven with a simple "act of contrition". |
