I'm engaged to a pastor, but I'm not religious. Talking to her about all the Goats' biblical references has been one of my favorite parts of analyzing lyrics and understanding John
Post Body
For example: The other night I was joking about the silly name of "Pigs that Ran Straightaway Into the Water, Triumph Of"
And she goes "Oh that's a reference to Mark I think" - mind blown. And we got to look at the lyrics and decipher exactly where the lyrics are alluding to the bible verse/context.
We went through all of The Light of the World to Come and it was a super rewarding experience. And it's not because I'm thinking of becoming religious in any way. To me it's no different from someone writing an album and every song has to do with The Odyssey.
