Naw, Beef, I'm going to have to agree with Erik on this one too. But I do believe your at least half right. It's kind of like the Song of Solomon, where the the poem was commonly thought to be directed towards the Jewish nation. People are pretty much split down the middle on this, as I think could be the case here with this song. You had many scholars believe that King Solomon wrote his poem as simply a provocative poem written for his bride. The other half of these scholars believed that the Solomon wrote the poem with the Jewish nation in mind. I seriously doubt that Matisyahu was singing this with Jesus in mind, however, I do believe that it may have been just as metaphorical as the Old Testament's Song of Solomon may have been.
