I largely agree with congomage. although I kinda thought something different about the references to mother. Earlier in the work where it says, "Seven miles above the earth/There is Emmanuel of mothers." Well Emmanuel isn;t just the savior of women, so I thought mothers might mean something more akin to mankind. Later when it says "my mother she betrayed us" it could mean mankind betrayed us from salvation which is true. Original sin makes this factually true of every person born. I guess in this way it could connect to what congomage was talking about. Look at that, I started by disagreeing and now I'm agreeing. How'd that happen? Whatever the case, I'm glad there exists music which is, for all intensive purposes, poetry. Good song! |
