This is the most beautiful song about God, light, universal spirit I have ever heard. I believe this song is about the spirit that breaths life into this planet not needing to be boxed into one religion or one view point. That no matter what we call he, she, it, they there is something bigger out there. This verse speaks of the start of creation. "I was born in a big grey cloud Screaming out a love song All the broken chords and unnamed cries What a place to come from" This next verse speaks of the universe's "God's" desire not to be associated with any one religion or way of thinking. How many times have people done terrible things in the name of God? God no longer wants to be associated with pain and suffering. "Whats in a name? I still remain the same" "I wish to remain nameless And live without shame 'Cause what's in a name, oh I still remain the same" The following verse explains the Universe "God's" confusion with our obsession with the afterlife. Instead of being in the present moment in the here and now, so many belief systems focus on a "heaven or afterlife" God wants us to enjoy the world he/she/it created. Not rush out back to where we came from. "Everybody lets you down In this brief, hole of a town All the different souls rushing out Tell me what you're running from" This next verse is about coming to grips with the fact that there is pain and suffering on this planet. That doesn't mean that something bigger doesn't exist, it's just a part of life. "I know everybody lets you down And I'll do the same But know I'll always be around This can remain the same" The hope comes with the following repeated verse. "Call me when you need me Call me when you need me Darling believe me Darling believe me" Expressing that no matter what you believe in or don't believe in there is a bigger force out there in the universe and if ever we need to, all we have to do is call out. So, so beautiful. |
