Lumina= lumina Dei= the light of God kiss= metaphor for sex=metaphor for original sin (consider the artists other work, subject matter, she is high brow.) She takes issue with the portrayal of Eve as the temptress of Adam in the bible, and subsequent subjugation of women throughout history by men and politicians and religious hypocrits. She says "whatever", if this is bad, God should welcome this because this is as natural as it gets. It is human, it is cyclical for all young women. This is beautiful. This is innocent. God please guide me cuz i'm goin in.... (subject matter adds to beauty of song, and could be no other way) IMHO Read more at http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858507521/#sbK8xyfwVqfzKqGG.99 |
