This is a singularly catholic song in the sense that it deals with the tension brought about by the desire for "the other" (in this case probably the desire for another lover). The lyric clearly deals with this tension by passing responsability to God ("bolts form above") as a way of resolving the conflicting feelings between familiarity and desire - ie, our feelings are beyond our control. Clearly the protoagonist in the song feels that he will regain control of his feelings on his way home and therefore return to the familiar ("find my soul") Barney's lyrics have a lot of this stuff in them: the apex between desire ("sin" is a term he often uses) and familiarity and normalcy - says to me that there is some serious religious conditioning he is carrying from his childhood............or not!!! |
