Cover art for Lend Me Your Love Tonight lyrics by Emerson, Lake & Palmer

One of the most incredible lyrics ever...Gregg & Pete presented a highly consistently, carefully elaborated symphonic poem ...the main sources are Biblical references: Just flood my darkness with your light (prayer to G-d for the needed partner);unlock the gate (of Heaven); don't ask me who or what is right (only G-d knows); Divine and universal whore...complete me (allusion to Eve and the original sin)...lRelease my soul release my eyes, A clock unwinds a flower dies, Dishonesty disqualifies, You win the race but lose the prize (Divine fairness). Well, the human need for company, in my case -respectfully- I did discover I loved one outstanding lovely woman.

My Interpretation

@a106882069 Fine…Well put… But why can’t the whole song be simply a prayer to or toward God? Asking not simply to just receive His Love but be enabled to use it… wield it throughout one’s life?? Win the Race and the Prize! Divine and Universal whore ??? That’ll keep the feminists happy?😂
