| Sufjan Stevens – Wolverine Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| "it's not your fault" -probably has no connection to it, but this part always makes me think of that scene in Goodwill Hunting where Robin williams and matt damon hug and robin williams is repeating "it's not your fault" over and over again. | |

I have to agree with saab693 and hoboghost. golden calf is a clear reresentation from the old testament of wealth ...and making of the own god. I'm going to put myself on a limb here and say that it's a criticism of religious people, particularly christians who are taught to give to the poor...but you see so many of them driving fancy big cars..megachurches..and the money that is involved with it. and how their lives are somewhat of a contradiction of what they preach, in the light of all the money and commercialism (neon bible) and according to the bible that there is a condemnation after death for those who lead hyprocritical lives .. (not much chance for survival if the neon bible is right) just a thought...i certainly think this is about religion though, what with the bible references and a name called "neon bible" |

to oh brave new world: "this really isn't the place to spread your faith. It's just sort of annoying to read about people quoting Mark and Matthew when we should be quoting Sufjan." actually..no one has quoted mark or mathew yet. the only scripture quoting that was done, was done to show the connection of jesus to sufjan stevens song. so your getting annoyed about nothing :) and i agree with fursoftasfur ...when Sufjan says "You gave up a wife and a family" ..I think he's alluding to how Jesus gave up a life of having a wife etc. Personally, I think when sufjan sings "To be alone with me You went up on a tree" he's talking of how Jesus died so that man could have a personal connection with God. Whereas before Jesus there was the temple where God resided, Jesus' sacrifice enabled God to live with man, in man. To be alone with man. i'm not preaching just clarifying what I believe sufjan is saying. cheers :) |
