G & G Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your own personal jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone whoโฒs there
Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
Iโฒll make you a believer
Take second best
Put me to the test
Things on your chest
You need to confess
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there
Reach out and touch faith
Feeling unknown
And youโฒre all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
Iโฒll make you a believer
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal jesus
Reach out and touch faith
The song "Personal Jesus" by G & G is a song that is open to interpretation. Some have seen it as a representation of addiction, while others interpret it as being about faith or religion. The repeated phrase "Your own personal Jesus" is suggestive of the idea of having an individualized faith, one that is distinct from the group identity of organized religion. The song discusses the feeling of being alone and unknown, and seeking out an entity in which to place one's trust.
The lyrics suggest that this "personal Jesus" is someone who listens to your prayers, to whom you can confess your secrets, and who will forgive you. The song's narrator invites the listener to "lift up the receiver" and take a leap of faith, promising that their belief will be rewarded. The repeated refrain of "Reach out and touch faith" emphasizes the importance of taking action and seeking out one's own beliefs.
In summary, "Personal Jesus" is a song that explores the concepts of individual faith, trust, and the search for meaning in life. It encourages the listener to take risks and seek out their own personal beliefs, rather than blindly following the crowd. The song is a powerful reminder that everyone can find their own way, and that faith is an intensely personal experience.
