“imago interlude” is at the midway point of nobigdyl.’s 4th album the people we became. The song focuses on how dyl. is looking for the image of God (imago dei in Latin, hence the title) in the world, but all he can see is Christians twisting the image of God to fit the narrative and agenda they wan...
[Intro]
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Christian music or music that Christians use
To get they fix: just another hit of the clicks and views? (Phew)
Officially, I don't play by your silly rules (I don't)
We independent 'cause that's how I felt the Spirit move (Move)
Looked for Yeshua, I didn't see Him on the 'Tube
I couldn't find Him on the web or triple letter news (Can't find Him)
I saw Him on the corner, begging for some drugs and food
I couldn't stop 'cause I'm a little late for Sunday School (Phew)
[Verse 2]
Christian music or music that Christians use? (Use)
I read epistles and take a sip of the liquor too (I do)
And everyone you listen to, I saw they did it too (They do)
I saw a lot of dying happen in livin' rooms (It's true)
Is that a preacher or a wolf that's covered in the wool? (Phew)
Is that a fetus or a human covered in the womb?
We disagreeing or are we just politicians' tools?
Can't pledge allegiance to a system feeding off of fools
[Verse 3]
Christian music or music that Christians use?
I looked for Jesus and I didn't see Him on the news (Phew)
Saw Him in Palestine, the power lines were out of juice
He was a nine-year-old, her body had been battered, bruised
Saw Him in Zion too, a missile through a tattered roof
A father clinging to his child, pleading out to you
Saw Him in Kyiv and Moscow, the bleeding won't stop now
The cop and the black body he shot down
[Verse 4]
Christian music or music that Christians use?
Looked for Messiah, I couldn't find Him in interviews
Sitting in silence, I felt an ancient pull
He said to be Samaritan to every single Jew
Right then, He showed me rockets over top of Tel Aviv
Colonizers shipping people 'cross the seven seas
Televangelist devisin' petty schemes
You don't know Jesus 'til you see Him in your enemy
[Outro]
I hate the people that we became
I hate the people that we
Hate the people that we became
I hate the people
I hate the people that we became
I hate the people that we
Hate the people that we became
I hate the people
(I love the people we became)
I hate the people that we became
I hate the people
(I love)
I hate the people that we became
(I love the people we became)
I hate the people that we
(I love the people we became)
I hate the people
(I love)
I hate the people that we became
(I love the people we became)
I hate the people that we
(I love the people we became)
I hate the people
