It is true that Christian artists sing about other things and relationships but a lot of times songs they have made to be talking about God gets misinterpreted for a boy-girl relationship. And I find that quite devastating, because they miss the deeper, much more profound, meaning behind it. If you want to make a conclusion about what the song is actually talking about, then the best thing to do is look way deeper into it than you normally would with any other song. And also look for interviews with the artists that contain an explanation of the meaning of their songs. Listenin.org is a great resource for that. You may be surprised to find out what the songs they sing are actually about. Because just assuming the song is about the some boy and girl fling, can be real insulting to the artists who deviate from the norm to actually work on making things much more profound and meaningful! And to those who don't care for the same old shallow crap that is forced on us everywhere we go.
And I'd be like,
'It wasn't a break up song at all.
It was about alcoholism.'
I mean, these songs aren't about the basic pop,
'Ooh girl. I love you.'
They're much deeper than that."
This particular song wasn't speaking about God or Jesus but it's a perfect example of how readily people are to assume that any song they hear is about some romantic relationship. Ugh!

Take this instance that the lead singer of Anberlin recounted about his song (The Symphony of) Blasé:
"With our last album, I'd get emails from fans about the song "Symphony of Blasé" and people would say, 'I just broke up with my girlfriend and that song helped me through it.'
And I'd be like, 'It wasn't a break up song at all. It was about alcoholism.' I mean, these songs aren't about the basic pop, 'Ooh girl. I love you.' They're much deeper than that."
