| he pledges to keep her in his life and not let go, no matter how crazy it makes him, by his superhuman might. This is the exact definition of hell. The very thing in our lives that we idolize above God, and we are unwilling to let them go we hold onto them so tight and so unyieldingly, and as a result causes us to go crazy. The fire mentioned in eternal hell is symbolic for the pains and craziness of our idolatry that come from the absence of Jesus, because Jesus is referred to as the water of life, and the only thing that can quench fire is water. C.S. Lewis once said "there are two kinds of people in the world, those who say "thy will be done" to God, and those to whom God, in the end, says "thy will be done."' In the end everybody gets what they want most. | |

This song is about idolatry. He sees his world go sour (i watched the world go to the dark side of the moon) because of his idolatry with the girl (after all i knew it had to be something to do with you), yet he is unwilling to change it (i really dont mind what happens now and then, as long as you....)....nor CAN he change it (I feel theres nothing I can do). Idolatry enslaves and leaves us helpless. Idolatry is something we place in front of God in our lives, and when it is in the form of a relationship, we actually try to act as God for that other person and see ourselves as their savior. He calls himself her superman, he says he saved her (you stumbled in and bumped your head if not for me youd be dead, i picked you up....) She does not meet the demands of the god-like role he has placed on her (you took for granted.....) idolatry always promises perfection and satisfaction of the longing in our souls, but always disappoints. She is his kryptonite. Because of the god-like status he has placed on her, he has allowed her existence to suck dry the true God-power that indwelt him, by worshiping the true God. This song parallels well with the story of Samson and Delilah found in the book of Judges, chapters 13 through 16. Our one and only Savior is Jesus Christ. He is who we were created to worship. If it didn't create you it cannot define you, and therefore cannot satisfy you as the object of your worship. The human race had relationship with God, turned our backs on Him, and became enslaved to worship created things rather than our Creator, at our own misery, and this plays out in "Spiritual death". He even illustrates this in the song (I left my body lying somewhere in the sands of time) He obviously didn't physically die if he continues on in the song, this must reference a spiritual death. Sadly this is not something we can just "turn around" from, because we become stuck to these objects of worship, more powerful than us. Forgiveness is something that is never free. If I come over to your house and break your lamp, 1 of 2 things can happen: You can demand repayment, or you can forgive me....but that forgiveness was not free, it cost you a lamp. God, chose the latter. He did not leave us in this desperate situation. He came to earth in the form of man and took the punishment that we deserve for this transgression on Himself by dying on a cross. Because sin and false worship is the qualification for death, and He did not do that, the grave could not hold Him, He resurrected. Basically, He traded our poor credentials for His glorious credentials. Now, by putting confidence in this act that was done for us, we now may obtain resurrection life in our mortal bodies and begin a process in which we worship the One whom we were created to worship and be transformed into His glorious likeness. Not by our goodness, but by His. Read more at http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/59814/#Jq6zlOFI1fxcRGoH.99 |
