Well, one of the few songs The Beekeeper is worth of. Really nice musical structure, both rhythmic and harmonical.
But, what about the lyrics? The only reference I found is at http://www.aimeemann.com/messageboard/viewthread.php?tid=3765&page=2#pid39758 towards the end. I hope that "Mary Magelane" is "Mary Magdalene" (in Italian we say only "Maria Maddalena"... so...?). In this key, the song is about a love story between Jesus and her:
Hey I am not in your way
Hey no need to push me again
I know it's your day in the sun
I think it talks to the persons who want to chase her since she's a sinner.
Last time I checked he came to light the lamp for everyone
Talks about Jesus; the parallel is between the sun and the lamp lighted up. So, does it mean perhaps that Jesus tries to give a "day in the sun" for everyone, and, perhaps, if he can't give so much, at least he "lights a lamp"?
"relax Love" he said before he left
"take those hands away from your eyes
from where I stand you're in my sky"
So, that would clearly be about their relationship. Jesus tells her to relax (perhaps because he has given her forgiveness for her sins too?) and to take "those hands away" (it's about the men she was in affairs with?), and says that she's in "my sky" (the heaven, I think).
you must go must flee
for they will hunt you down
you and your unborn seed
in all of Gaul is there safety?
Uh, hot stuff in here. Says that people will hunt her (as in fact it will happen), talking about her and her unborn seed - so, she has a child, perhaps Jesus' one? But I have not the slightest idea of what (where?) Gaul is and what it refers too. It doesn't come as a surprise - I'm agnostic and know the Bible very little. Oh, yeah, and I'm bad at geography too :-)
Les Saint Marie de la Mer
you will dance the ring
Marys of the Sea
the lost bride weeps
Les Saint Marie de la Mer
We will dance your ring
Ok. So, why does Tori call her "Les Saint Marie de la Mer"? What does mean that she will "dance the ring"? The "lost bride" perhaps is about the fact that she and Jesus will never get married? :-/
Hey there's a new Jerusalem
Hey you built a rock that's on sand
For now you have hijacked the Son
Last time I checked he came to light the lamp for everyone
Again, I admit I have no big clues about this. Any idea?
Obviously, this is simply my opinion, and the very fundamental idea can be perfectly wrong :-)
