Am I the only one who thinks that this song isn't necessarily saying that God is female?
Me, I think it's a feminist commentary on religion's mistreatment of women (EXTREMIST religion, of course), and that it's actually saying "The only 'god' is me. I control my own existence and make my own choices, therefore I am my own god", and the "she" is there because it is told through a woman's point of view.
It tells a story about Muslim women on a beach. Even though they're at a beach, they're covered head to toe, wearing burqa/niqab. "Black bodies float in the sea" refers to the women wearing their black veils in the water. They can see everyone around them, but nobody can see them under their veils. ("We can see, but he can't see me")
"Kissing fireflies on the beach.
How sweet that we can be!
Everyone has love to give.
Hearts will teach us how to live."
This verse tells that while at the beach, they discover the beauty of nature and see that all life is beautiful and meaningful.
The next verse illustrates one of the women going into the deep end of the water, and how the water lifts her veil off from her head, thereby showing her both literally and symbolically taking off her veil and coming out of hiding.
Through this moment of enlightenment, it is then that the women realize that the ones who know what is best for them is themselves, hence "God has a voice, she speaks through me", and they decide to free themselves from the bounds of extreme religion and be their own gods.
The next verses describe the joy and freedom that these women feel, having all taken off their veils and becoming one with nature.
That's just my interpretation. But if you read the lyrics and watch the video, it should be obvious what it's about.
I agree with you for the most part, but I'd also like to point out that they are also referring to The Pleiadians; invisible extra terrestrial beings from the 5th dimension that come to our dimension to guide us on our spiritual journey.
The Pleiadians teach us that we are our own creators. We create our own realities. They hold on to their one ultimate truth, that everyone and everything is comprised of love.
This song is about CocoRosie finding inner peace on their spiritual journey through this dimension.
