Material World Lyrics

Lyric discussion by interpretationdechanson 

For Passover Jesus ate lamb/goat. If meat is good enough for Jesus, it's surely good enough for me:) As for what the dental profession (Yes, the dental profession) calls the "canine teeth," they are part of evolution. We graduated from eating nuts; berries; leaves etc to meat. Just loved your fruit comment. Yes, it's mighty difficult to rip into a peeled banana or a peach without having pointy teeth;) Not sure about the Barbie reference, but most individuals stop playing with them before they reach adolescence. As for the song, I love the artist but the song is sacreligious and frankly quite stupid. The Virgin Mary is pure. The mother of God is not responsible for how flawed humans choose to live. We have to take full responsiblity for our personal choices. God gave us free will and we often screw it up royally. Quite frankly, your final analysis that this song points to God being a vegan/vegetarian is just plain...well, bananas:)

@interpretationdechanson it’s a reference to how many people have died in the name of religion, mainly Christianity. We claim that the Virgin Mary and a myriad of other figures in religious text are pure, meanwhile “if you don’t believe in the god I believe in, I’ll kill you.” We often misconstrue, which is easy to do when most religious texts are just one big game of telephone. Constant translation and twisting of the stories to fit our narrative have corrupted us. Much like materialism. Bananas make good food for thought.
