| Nikka Costa – Push & Pull Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
I think this song could be about borderline personality disorder but also could be about the struggles of life as a Christian, autism or just being a misfit in this world. Out of place and looking to the sky for answers does remind me of being alone and misunderstood as well as looking to the sky for Jesus to return or guidance to answer and untie the knot. The knot can also symbolize life and the entrapments we face by being bound to the earth, in an earthly sense, you struggle with the knots of reality and having to conform to play a part and mask as your role in a job or at school, or to your peers, but then in a spiritual sense you just cannot reach that closeness to God by being of the world and conforming to the systems in place, so you struggle with the knot pushing and pulling between the duality of spirit and worldly flesh body. The very condition of being human and born onto this earth. We paradox is that Mr. Nothing really is someone of great importance, but he doesn't recognize this so as long as he is struggling with untying the knot, lost in the push and pull. It isn't until he can neutrally come back from the mess of existence at hand to see he is more than the very struggle itself. I feel like Nikka could be Southern Italian? from the South of Italy? She has that facial structure of other people I know that are also from the South of Italy. |

| Meat Loaf – Good Girls Go to Heaven (Bad Girls Go Everywhere) Lyrics | 3 years ago |
|
I see this as a song about fighting the temptation of lust (and going out doing that with someone who is available but who may not be a True Love) by using the imagination and gifts of God. Meatloaf is trying to tell us that the good boys and good girls go to Heaven by quietly satisfying their urges by using the narrow path rather than "going everywhere" to defile and degrade themselves and that inner power/strength by giving into doing it with multiple people just to satisfy the lust that comes over oneself in a typical being's lifespan. I do wonder though, hasn't the Bible told d us that masturbation is equally a sin as extramarital sex and fornicators will not inherit the kingdom? "But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion." (1 Corinthians 7:9, NIV) meaning that being single one "burns with passion" without a mate to satisfy what God has given us as part of his creation to enjoy and share with an equally yoked significant other. So I do wonder why this song is promoting auto-fornication but then again maybe there is more of something spiritual to be learned from masturbation in that being a form of self control that the Bible alludes to? I always like to leave interpretations open as more information could flow through, for example, the bible verse that states; "My people perish for a lack of knowledge" (Hosea 4:6) in that if we do not decode the Bible properly, we perish for misinterpreting its' true meaning. Meaning, maybe there is more to masturbation (in a Holy and Spiritual sense) than the Bible tells us... in which it could be a path to Heaven if done correctly and with an anointed method and encapsulating/protective Holy energy for those of us whom have chosen to be single. Also "bad girls go everywhere" can allude to the fact that there is no sleep for the wicked, who will wearily search for refuge in all the wrong places, on the wrong path, trying to find their way to a higher plane, only accessible by submitting to God. It also reminds me of the idea that once demons are cast out of a person, they are banished to a Setian style desert like realm where they walk for days on end in a dry barren place, waiting to find another host to possess. This aimless wandering for survival, relates to how the bad "go everywhere" in search of a squandering squatting place they can go on living a while longer, however harsh the conditions or however much they must sell their soul to acquire. |
