| Tori Amos – Father's Son Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
I love this album but had never paid much particular attention to this song before. Then, today, four days since the massacre of 49 LGBT souls in Orlando, this song randomly came onto my shuffle, and I heard it like never before. I can't help but hear the message of homophobia being passed down from father to son, the seed planted in the next generation. "God versus God ringside Littered with corpses neither God can forgive" Neither Christianity nor Islam can forgive gay people for their "sins." Both religions shun and punish them. Nothing can change as long as fathers are passing this antiquated hatred down to their sons. It hit home today like never before. |
