Miracle man
Dualbox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm looking for a miracle man who's not in disguise
I don't know where he'll come from and I don't know where he's been
But he's not our Jimmy sinner because he's so obscene
Miracle man got busted, miracle man got busted
Today i saw a miracle man, on TV cryin'
Such a hypocritical man, born again, dying
He don't know where he's goin' but we know where he's been
Our eyes are on the screen
Miracle man got busted, miracle man got busted, miracle
man got busted, miracle man
A devil with a crucifix
Brimstone and fire
He needs another carnal fix
To take him higher and higher
Now Jimmy, he got busted with his pants down
Repent ye wretched sinners, self righteous clown
Miracle man got busted, miracle man got busted, miracle
man got busted, miracle man got busted, miracle man got
busted, miracle man got busted, miracle man got busted
In Dualbox's song Miracle Man, the lyrics convey a search for a truthful and genuine individual who is not hiding any secrets or indulging in hypocrisy. The singer desires someone who will not deceive or mislead them, and lead them towards redemption. The search for this "miracle man" is ambiguous, as the singer is uncertain about where this person may come from or what their background is. The lyrics suggest that the singer's perception of people has been tainted by someone named Jimmy, who is portrayed as a sinner and a hypocrite, putting up a façade of holiness and purity while hiding his true intentions. The lyrics also allude to Jimmy being exposed, perhaps for his immoral or unethical behavior, as the singer mentions him being "busted."
The song touches upon themes of disillusionment with religion, dishonesty among religious figures, and a yearning for authenticity and redemption. The use of the word "miracle" in the song's title and lyrics can be interpreted as a metaphorical manifestation, a miraculous occurrence that would lead the singer towards a life of truth and purpose. The imagery of a "devil with a crucifix" and "brimstone and fire" indicates a conflict between the idea of a holy or divine figure and their potential to be corrupted by human desires and vices. Overall, the song suggests a desire to find a person or community that is genuine and focused on achieving a higher purpose.
