Issac Lyrics

Cover art for Issac lyrics by Madonna

This song meaning touches upon the life of Isaac, who was offered up as a sacrifice by his father Abraham. It was a test. Isaac was Abraham's test. Also it's the test of life when it's so difficult and you don't want to go on but you realize this is all school down here or a test. To be on your earth is to wrestle with darkness and when you do it you get help (angels) but you can transcend all this misery by experiencing God here on earth (even though your spirit's broken) A lot of Madonna's music has this, what I think is channeled, mystical connotations even though she certainly doesn't seem to manifest any wisdom in the way she conducts herself. She's very insecure.

The song was titled Isaac after the guy who sings in the foreign language (Yemenite) his name is Yitzhak Sinwan in jewish first name translates to Isaac (wikipedia)
