「Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary」
大文字[R-]の “the Resurrection” には「キリストの復活」「(最期の審判の日の)全人類の復活」という意味があります。
それでは「I Am The Ressurection」は宗教的な曲なのかというと、そんなことは全くなく、ガールフレンドとおぼしき相手に「お前はもううんざりだよ」と感情的に訴える曲になっております。しかしこの you が何を指しているのか深読みしてみると、また違った内容が見えてくるのかもしれません。
“I Am The Resurrection”
Down down, you bring me down
I hear you knocking down my door
And I can’t sleep at night
Your face, it has no place
No room for you inside my house
I need to be alone
Don’t waste your words
I don’t need anything from you
I don’t care where you’ve been
Or what you plan to do
Turn turn, I wish you’d learn
There’s a time and place for everything
I’ve got to get it through
Cut loose, ‘cause you’re no use
I couldn’t stand another second
In your company
Don’t waste your words
I don’t need anything from you
I don’t care where you’ve been
Or what you plan to do
Stone me, why can’t you see?
You’re a no-one nowhere washed up baby
Who’d look better dead
Your tongue is far too long
I don’t like the way it sucks and slurps
Upon my every word
Don’t waste your words
I don’t need anything from you
I don’t care where you’ve been
Or what you plan to do
I am the resurrection and I am the light
I couldn’t ever bring myself to hate you as I’d like
I am the resurrection and I am the light
I couldn’t ever bring myself to hate you as I’d like
