This whole album is indeed the most raw, emotional, and Truthful performance I believe Mtv has ever broadcast. As for this song, I'm quite sure it is all about the mess humanity is in and have always been in since the fall of man. But to say this song says nothing about God I believe is an extreme oversight of the meaning in the words that compose this song.

This song and album is one of the greatest of all time. You must listen carefully and see how she parallels so many things. There is an obvious talking point of HIV, which she also seems to link to the original sin of Adam. How far are we willing to go and allow this same seed to permeate our lives? Sexual deviancy, paganism, idolatry? Are we simply trusing in a hopeless system that orchestrates our demise while we lavish in the flesh?
