Hola, amigos. Don't overanalyze the songs and let them slip away from
you...after all, they aren't literature, they are songs. Albeit beautiful
songs with beautiful words. You won't do very well, I think, finding a
great deal of tangible (for lack of a better word) meaning in these songs.
Why? Because I don't think life was anything but confusion for the band
when these songs were recorded. Just enjoy them, let them move you...if you
want better religious assurance, better stories of men finding God, etc. go
the Bible. That's where they are, that's why it exists. I've found in the
past though that overanalyzing songs can ruin the magic in them. J.D.
Salinger dedicated one of his books to "amateur readers, if they still
exist." Just enjoy the music...let it be magical, because it will mean to
you whatever you bring to it.
Meaning is such a scholarly thing...the music of SDRE is something universal
because you can bring whatever you have to it and get even more out of it.
THat's why we all love it so much.
Take care,
John
