| Arrested Development – Tennessee Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I totally agree with 'K2skiyer'... this is the type of song that needs to be discussed. Even though Arrested Development are comprised of African-Americans, I believe this song can apply to anyone of any culture/heritage. It's about feeling alone when everyone around you is so similar on the surface... yet so different on the inside. On the surface everyone may seem similar, but an examination quickly shows the differences between people and their spiritual beliefs, or lack there of. Like all great things in life, nothing comes easy. The writer actually tries to development a relationship with God... that's why he's been enlightened (unlike other people around him that do not try). And with any project that gives positive results, he/she now has a true interest in the subject ("but I am still thirsty"). It's our responsibility as humans to share this belief and interest (God) to other people throughout the world. Tennessee, in this instance, is the calm place in your life when you've given yourself up to Jesus Christ... or "home" as the chorus refers to it. |
