| Son Of Sam – Michael Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
The song is named "Michael" referencing the Arch Angel Michael. Michael is an angel that is mentioned in Christianity, Jewish teachings and even in Islam. In this song it is a Christian angle. The song is told by the view of Satan in a confrontational tone towards the arch angel Michael who in the Book of Revelation defeats Satan. Satan has been waiting "patiently for this day to arrive"... the battle told in Revelations. Satan is claiming he finally has a chance to have his voice be heard. This is why the song sings 'I've been waiting oh so long". Satan grumbles about accepting his fate on earth for so long and accepted the name he is now referred to (since he use to be an angel). He is ready to battle Michael knowing when he defeats him he will "rise again". All references about a Father refers to God. About being the brightest SON (not sun)... meaning... God will look at him in favor again after he defeats Michael. It is a pretty cool song that takes a sinister twist on Satan's eagerness to battle; how satan feels cheated by all of Michael's accomplishments but will FINALLY prove himself after all this time. He will no longer be stuck on earth... alone... not this time... not this time... not this time. Then the song ends... before the battle begins - giving the listener the idea Satan is hyped for this fight and has a good chance to win. However, the song ends before it is told Satan is destroyed and humiliated in the worst way and in a complete OPPOSITE of what he thought would happen. Michael wins. Son of Sam definitely embraced Samhain's tone with this song. |
