Come on come on come on come touch me, babe...
Look how biblical themes sneak into pop songs, not just Messianic:
The Doors 'Touch Me':
Yeah!
Come on, come on, come on, come on now
Touch me, babe!
Can't you see that I am not afraid?
[the above is spoken by Adam to Eve after she's given him the forbidden fruit]
What was that promise that you made?
Why won't you tell me what she said?
What was that promise that you made?
[this quick shift is God speaking to Adam when He came into the Garden and Adam and Eve hid from him; you see such sudden shifts of point-of-view and speaker in the Psalms themselves]
Now, I'm gonna love you
Till the heavens stop the rain.
I'm gonna love you
Till the stars fall from the sky
For you and I.
[the above is God speaking the Noahic Covenant, after the destruction of the flood, where he is saying I will never again bring such destruction, but the seasons will follow upon one another and so on until the end]
(then the lyrics just repeat, except for the 'stronger than dirt' coda which kind of is in the same theme, Adam-dust, Noahic Covenant-about the Earth and nature, etc...)
Come on, come on, come on, come on now
Touch me, babe!
Can't you see that I am not afraid?
What was that promise that you made?
Why won't you tell me what she said?
What was that promise that you made?
I'm gonna love you
Till the heavens stop the rain.
I'm gonna love you
Till the stars fall from the sky
For you and I.
I'm gonna love you
Till the heavens stop the rain.
I'm gonna love you
Till the stars fall from the sky
For you and I.
Stronger than dirt!
Artists that are tuned in to higher influences, or whose minds are numbed and who also are able to tap higher influences, or are just able to put words down without manipulating all the meaning out of them using their 'brain' tap into these universal themes. Also pop music lyrics lend themselves to such things because of the elliptic, non sequitur nature of the lyrics. In an interview of Jim Morrison and his bandmates (typically embarrassing moronic '60s stuff) they ramble but their theme is recovering Eden. That typical theme you see abused by communist and socialist movements, but also that you see just in the rambling ideals and beliefs of people like '60s youth culture.
