Good Friday
Perkins Elvis Lyrics

The opening lines of the song "Come, lay here beside me, And I'll fear no death, I'll give you my body, And I'll breathe your breath" suggests a sense of unyielding trust and a feeling of being completely safe and vulnerable with someone. The song seems to be speaking about companionship and finding solace in one another. The lines "No-one will harm you, inside this song", the song's comforting nature indicates that it could be seen as a refuge, a place to find comfort from the world outside. The reference to Good Friday in the chorus suggest that this special bond that eliminates fear is a gift from Jesus who sacrificed his body on Good Friday.

The song conveys a specific message of preserving life, even when considering the context of death. The line "Get out of your body, For there goes your blood, It falls on my secrets, And colors the flood" is referring to a person who has lost their life and the aftermath of it. The line carries a strong meaning about the weight of blood being the proof of life and death, and how it can stain the truth. The lines "Their sad cellared wines, Are not ours to spill, And won't be passed over Good Friday" references to the holy day of Good Friday, suggesting that it is a crucial reminder to cherish and honor one's ancestral history while celebrating life.
