This song sounds like it's about how no one loves God. No one in the world loves God, so why would God love the world? "You" is God. No matter if the listener is religious or not, this song is really powerful. Think about it: A God who loves those who suck at loving Him (the religious) and even those who don't try to love Him (or even hate Him). This song gives me chills. |

With all due respect, I don't think that this is what the artists had in mind. This is what I get from it. I'm unsure were you go the information from the first sentence. This song definitely seems to be about how no one really cares about God and that it seems ridiculous to the artists (VW) that God could love humanity (because humanity doesn't love God). I think you are right on the point about sinners not caring, though I fail to understand where the sentence "Religious people are only religious when it helps them." comes from. "And I can't help but think That you've seen the mistake" - meaning that God has seen the mistake he's made in creating humanity - "but you let it go" - but he decides not to do away with us. So, in other words, the song is talking about how the world couldn't care less about God, but that God continues loving the world - the author of the song doesn't understand why God would love us. |
