![]() he can be whatever he wants to be, and we're not the judge of his lifestyle. We cannot determine whether or not he's gay or straight, and frankly, it doesn't matter. if he wants to write about religion, it's his choice, and you should respect it.Īnd another thing: the whole, "sufjan's gay, look at his lyrics!" their his beliefs, you don't need to go around and change them, and you know what? you don't need to! so, stop fighting, i don't think sufjan would've wanted this anyway. if you like his music, listen to it, and stop hating. It doesn't matter! he's a visionary, a vangaurd for his generation, and maybe, you should all stop fighting. Guys, it doesn't matter how many times you analyze these lyrics. I think it's the idea that, no matter what you think about religion, you listen to him, and you just love it and you want to convince yourself that it's not religious or that it is, so you can feel good about yourself listening to it. General Commentyou want to know the best thing about sufjan stevens? it's not the music, and the music is fucking amazing, by the way, it's not his lyrics, which, too, are fucking amazing. "The tree" is another word for the cross since it was made out of the wood from trees.Īllthearmsweneed, I hope this helps to relieve your confusion. Because of the finished work on the cross, Christians have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. In response to "You gave up your ghost", Sufjan speaks of the Holy Spirit. And for one reason - to accompliish salvation for those who would believe in Him. A lot of times people have a picket-fence house dream of a family with 2.5 children and a dog and a cat, but Jesus chose a much harder life. Hebrews 4:15 says that Jesus was tempted in -every- way - therefore He was tempted sexually, but He never sinned. He was both fully human and fully God (see John 10:30). In response to the line "You gave up a wife and a family", Sufjan is trying to talk about the humanity of Christ. When Sufjan says "They took your clothes", it is describing when the Roman soldiers took Jesus' clothes right before He was crucified (see Romans 19:23-24). There is no other way we could even pray to God without having a relationship with Christ - a believe and faith in Him. On the cross, Jesus showed the perfect example of what love is.
