I Belong To You

Lenny Kravitz

You are the flame in my heart
You light my way in the dark
You are the ultimate star
You pick me from up above
Your unconditional love
Takes me to paradise

I belong to you
And you
You belong to me too
You make my life complete
You make me feel so sweet

You make me feel so divine
Your soul and mind are entwined
Before you, I was blind
But since I've opened my eyes
And with you there's no disguise
So I could open up my mind
I always loved you from the start
But I could not figure out
That I had to do it everyday
So I put away the fight
Now I'm gonna live my life
Giving you the most in every way

Oh, I belong to you
And you (and you)
You belong to me too
You make my life complete
You make me feel so sweet
Oh, I belong to you (I belong to you)
And you (you)
You belong to me too
Oh, you make my life complete
You make me feel so sweet

I belong to you (I belong to you)
And you (and you)
You belong to me too
You make my life complete (you make my life complete)
You make me feel so sweet (you make me feel so sweet)
Oh, I belong to you (I belong to you)
And you (and you)
You belong to me too
You make my life complete (you make my life complete)
You make me feel so sweet (you make me feel so sweet)

    It's about Jesus, isn't it? The flame in his heart is the Spirit of God in him. Unconditional love is refering to how God loved us while we were still sinners. Knowing his creator from "up above" makes his life complete. "Before you I was blind" - spiritually blind, as in Amazing Grace. Now he's going to live for Christ every day. Luke 9:23 "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me."

    My Interpretation

    This is a song about the love of God. The line "Your unconditional love takes me to paradise" is a dead giveaway. Apart from that, there is a lot of paraphrasing of scripture: "you light the way in the dark... " "With you there's no disguise..." "Before you I was blind..." and so-on. The use of the word 'divine' is another hint at who he's speaking to here. The references to feeling so sweeeeeet are also parallel to the feeling of rapture referenced numerous times in the bible and are ubiquitous in Judeo-Christian literature. It doesn't take a zealot to admit that one loves God and has found peace with him. Even though I'm not a religious person, I think the song is more beautiful now that I find that it's about one's spiritual awakening.

    Great song. I feel the stansa (sp?)

    "I always loved you from the start But I could not figure out That I had to do it everyday"

    really is the core of the songs message. It's not enough to love someone, you have to show them that you do, every day. Never take your loved ones for granted.

    This song is so fitting for me and my first love who I have come back into contact with. And those lyrics seem to be a "second chance" at love. That the first time he didn't realize what it took to keep that love strong. Now he does... so he is saying he is going to make sure that this time he does it right...

    Maybe the lyrics are ripped off a religious sermon :p

    its a little selfish saying god belongs to you and when did god, over a lover in ones arms, make you

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
