-Firstly I should say that some of the lyrics written above are incorrect. (I'll asterisk them.) Second, I am hopeful no religious people read what I say and don't take any offence. For me this song is about trying to convert a religious person into Agnosticism, What is love but the strangest of feelings, A sin you swallow for the rest of your life? You've been looking for someone to believe in She lives by disillusion glow* We go where the wild blood flows On our bodies we share the same scar Love me, wherever you are --> The narrator describes a friend or lover, devoting their life to a religion. This is clear in the line, "you've been looking for someone to believe in". He suggests Faith is the strangest of feelings; a " 'sin' you swallow for the rest of your life". We share the same scar, as pertaining to the fact they're both humans and he's stressing the point that they're both doing fine with or without their beliefs. She's described as having a religious aura around herself. "disillusion's glow". 'We go where the wild blood flows,' meaning freedom of thought. How do you love with a fate full of rust? How do you turn what the savage tame? --> How can you keep believing when your fate is hell anyway. Being raised in a religion can make it hard to convert because you hold your parent's standards on high authority. (the authority figure/church being metaphorical savages) Love me, wherever you are --> It's easy for me to see this as relating to omni-presence and benevolence. |
