Anyway
Erotic Jesus Lyrics

The song "Anyway" by Erotic Jesus contains lyrics that seem to be about a desire for transcendence or escape, accompanied by a sense of nihilism or moral ambiguity. The opening lines, "Lift me up - to the mountain top / And tell me dear when it's gettin' hot," suggest a yearning to rise above the mundane or the worldly, and to be guided by an unnamed companion or guru. The next lines, "We'll be covered by the light / We'll be covered by the sun / The insanity of the white takes us there," evoke a sense of spiritual illumination or revelation, but also hint at a potential danger or recklessness in pursuing enlightenment.

The second verse introduces a different perspective, that of someone perhaps more skeptical or hedonistic, represented by the character of "sister blue," who is "smoking some crack." Despite this apparent degradation, the lyrics suggest that all is ultimately equal or permissible: "There's no wrong, there's no right / And we don't care." This sense of moral relativism is reinforced by the refrain: "Hold your breath for what's to say / And save your prayers for what I do anyway / Let me shine through you," which implies a rejection of conventional beliefs or practices in favor of a more individualistic or experiential approach.

Overall, the lyrics to "Anyway" suggest a tension between a desire for transcendence, represented by the metaphor of the mountain top or the sun, and a rejection of moral or spiritual norms, embodied by the characters of mother sun and sister blue. The refrain, with its focus on individual autonomy and disregard for external judgment, reinforces this sense of existential freedom.
