| Dave Matthews Band – Deed Is Done Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Firstly, I view Dave as using the word "cancer" broadly to mean an evil condition or something that spreads destructively, NOT only the medical disease. I Agree with Me2's interpretation. I feel that this song is about the man's struggle with faith--specifically reconciling the evils of our world with an omnipotent creator who has the ability to cure them. Additionally, the last verse : "Oh, you may find you're faithful You may find out the reaction" Here he, (the person in the song), addresses those who proclaim to have faith, suggesting to them that once they their faith, they may lose it as well. Dave is suggest that untested certainty, or faith in a higher power is not stronger than those who are struggling and doubt their faith after testing it. |
