| Mumford & Sons – The Cave Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| My response to you who see bible references in these lyrics my thoughts are thus. I think that in vague poetry such as this the capability to find links to the religion are possible it does not mean that this piece is bound to christian thought and reference. By vague i do not mean any disrespect i mean to say that there are a many different interpretations that may be garnered from these lyrics. I have studied christian theology for the last 4 years and before that i studied religion from a purely historic manner as a student. The things i have learned are that inspiration wether divine or human can mean something to someone whether or not it is directly linked to their belief system. So therefore it is futile to attempt to group the lyrics of poets by religion because they all speak of the strong emotions felt by the author and that is where their inherent value lies. Not in the version of scripture that they refer to but in the emotion of the person who felt them and spoke the words. Now I will add that my beliefs do not influence this because I personally am a person who does not follow any religion. I advise you to find the raw emotion which with this song was written and enjoy how it helps you strengthen your faith but do not bind it solely to one belief because once it is bound to a religion others will disregard it and believe that it solely applies to followers of another faith. | |
