So, maybe it's just me but just by listening to the song and reading the lyrics, try as I might I don't really see any connection to homosexuality. But someone else commented about the music video having obvious references to homosexuality. In fact, he refers to his lover as his goddess. It's a really amazingly written song. And I think its awesome that you can interpret great songs and adapt them to each persons own identities. There's some really amazing concepts in this song that make it stand out from most music out there. Worshipping your lover in the bedroom, putting them on the same pedestal as other people would put god(s). He's also tying that in with as many concepts of religion as possible, not just (modern) Christianity. Although, most, if not all earlier religions like Christianity and paganism and even then Greek and Roman religions all required sacrifice to those gods in return for good favor and fortune, and the gods could be fickle lovers, demanding sacrifices even when there was nothing left but alot of starving faithful. It seems like he's connecting his religion to something more ancient and primal. And his lover could be asking more from him than he can give, like most religions/gods/churches.i could go on and on. Another reason I love this song is that there's so much material referenced that I could almost write a whole book to cover everything |
