@[geoffk:2481]....Huh? How could you get that this song is about God? I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions but when they are just dead wrong then you gotta call it what it is. Saying this song is about God is like saying Like A Virgin is about Mary the mother of Jesus. lol. This song is clearly about a couple getting ready to take the plunge into marriage and having questions of a past relationship or indiscretion surface. I think that the singer cheated on his future wife while in Miami and whatever happened there keeps coming up. Miami, every hour on the hour. And he tries to tell her "whoever I was then I can't ever be again". No matter what he says he can't overcome it. Goddamn me Unhand Me Miami. Do you see it yet? She wants him to tell her everything about what happened in these lines. Does anyone every want to know all the details of someone cheating on them? "The whole truth is nothing but a good excuse So long as you don't torture me with my past Let's be honest; a secret silenced is a secret safe" With these lines the singer is saying that there are constant reminders that he can't get around them and overcome her fear of a repeat cheating episode. "Reminders, they are not reluctant So stop me if you've heard this one before Sideways blinders, I can't find a way (around a way) around.." In the end when he speaks of "faith" he is speaking of the faith that one has in another person that they could never do wrong and that he has never found that in another person. Here in these final lines he basically sums up his fears of the pending marriage and breaks it off with the line "Truth be told, I'm never going to know. "The faith you found I never felt (never felt) The terror held in wedding bells The comfort in there's no one else The truth be told I'm never gonna know The terror held in wedding bells The comfort in there's no one else The truth be told I'm never gonna know" So in summary, this has absolutely nothing to do about God. |

| @[CarCrashHearts:2480]...Agreed. I think this is the best song on the album. Amazing lyrics considering this topic has been covered 1000 times before. A lot of fans don't seem to like this tune. I don't get it. I think it is their best on the album. | |
