Tolerance
Maya Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Since all is God’s will
We don’t need to worry at all
Tolerance fills my heart
Cause my faith is the right one
Once you feel the divine light
You’ll never have to respect anyone
The holy book gives your prejudice support
Praying for killings as for winning in your favorite sport
Don’t need sense or empathy
When tradition answers all
When I find contradiction abuse
I can pick and choose what fits my call
The holy book gives your prejudice support
Praying for killings as for winning in your favorite sport
Father,
How can there be tolerance if the one Truth fills my mind?
Heaven,
The world is in peace cause we keep your tradition blind
In these lyrics, Māyā explores the concept of tolerance from a critical perspective, highlighting the dangers of blind faith and using tradition to justify prejudice and violence.
The first paragraph sets the stage by mentioning the attributes typically associated with a higher power – being all-good, all-knowing, and all-powerful. Māyā introduces the idea that everything that happens is God's will, suggesting that there is no need to worry about the uncertainties of life.
The second paragraph delves into the theme of tolerance and faith. Māyā asserts that tolerance fills her heart because she believes her faith is the right one. This statement reveals a potentially exclusionary attitude, implying that only those who share her faith are deserving of respect. The mention of "feeling the divine light" suggests a moment of enlightenment that solidifies one's conviction and diminishes the need for respecting others who follow different paths.
The third paragraph delves deeper into the perils of dogmatism and rigid adherence to tradition. Māyā criticizes those who rely solely on tradition to answer all of life's questions, regardless of contradictions or abuses they may encounter. This verse highlights the problematic nature of cherry-picking religious teachings to suit one's own beliefs or justify prejudiced perspectives.
The fourth and final paragraph shifts to a more personal plea/question directed at a father figure, possibly representing a spiritual guide or authority. Māyā questions how tolerance can exist if one's mind is consumed by the belief that they possess the one true truth. The juxtaposition of "Heaven" with the notion of keeping traditions blind suggests that maintaining blind adherence to tradition is seen as a way to maintain peace in the world, albeit at the expense of genuine tolerance and critical thinking.
Overall, these lyrics offer a critical examination of the role of tolerance within faith and traditions. They caution against using religion to justify prejudice and violence, emphasizing the importance of empathy, openness, and questioning beliefs in order to foster genuine acceptance and understanding.
