5 hr 55 min ago Rated 0 I definitely agree that this song is preaching to everyone, stripping away religiosity. Once we're all inside The service can begin For a moment, if you please Forget what you believe And naked, you will see That we are all the same I also think that in order for us to understand this message, Dave is saying that we have to strip away what we have been told by society and "religion." We must understand from our most pure, primitive state of being, before we were tainted by the world Open up your head Open up you primitive Open up your mouth Open up your head Your sweet primitive From the beginning, we have always needed "flesh and bone." In the biblical story of Adam and Eve, God made man and all of creation, but said "It is not good for man to be alone," and thus made woman. But how, your kiss Your words, your lips Your flesh, your bones Exactly what you need We are also promised in the bible that we can have heaven on earth if we follow the commands of Jesus. 2 John 1:6 says "And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love." In the first Ancient Church, there were many forms of inner and outer worship. Still, they all had “one language” and “their words were one.” ("Scream you sweet primitive, Tell me what you said") In other words they all shared one doctrine in general and in detail. Doctrine is one when all people have mutual love, or kindness. Mutual love or kindness causes things, though varied, to be one, since it makes one out of many different things. Above all things If kindness is your king Then heaven will be yours before you reach your end I have so much respect for Dave and his raw lyrics. |

That is a very interesting point of view, but I don't think this song is written about a homosexual relationship, because the bird who stays on the wire never seems to have one bit of desire to leave. In fact, I think Regina is purposefully using "him" and "he" as gender neutrals because using "she" would limit the song. The bird on the wire keeps saying "I'll believe it all There's nothing I won't understand I'll believe it all I won't let go of your hand" Meaning he will stay safe and comfortable on his little wire and believe everything the other says about what he sees and experiences. I actually think it speaks more on depression because of the lines "The sky is overcast and I'm sorry One more or one less Nobody's worried." It is a pattern, and in the end, one bird doesn't leave the other forever. "One tries to fly away, but the other....." and the song starts at the beginning and could just repeat itself over and over again. |
