Religion
S.P.A.D. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ceux qui passent plus de temps
À donner aux autres
Qu'à se tourner vers un Dieu
Qui compte les fautes
C'est toute ma religion

Tous ces mots qui me viennent
Devant l'immensité
Ces océans d'étoiles
Si désintéressées
C'est toute ma religion

Et tous ces gens qui font du bien
Sans se faire prier
Tous ces choeurs qui s'élèvent
D'un vieux rêve oublié
C'est toute ma religion

Voir en chacun de nous
Une bonté minimum
Plutôt que d'espérer une seule âme
Infiniment bonne
C'est toute ma religion

Les efforts que font les êtres
Pour trouver la vie belle
Sans qu'on vienne leur dicter
Une foi originelle
C'est toute ma religion
C'est toute ma religion

Toi qui me dis simplement
Combien j'existe pour toi
Toi qui arrives d'abord




À me faire croire en moi
C'est toute ma religion

Overall Meaning

In "Religion," S.P.A.D. presents a different perspective on religiosity, emphasizing the importance of acts of kindness and self-love over devotion to a higher power. The opening lines contrast those who devote their time to "giving to others" with the idea of a God who judges "faults." S.P.A.D. seems to suggest that one's actions towards others and oneself are more important than religious dogma.


The second verse of the song centers around the vastness of the universe and its stars, which S.P.A.D. contrasts with those who adhere to strict religious beliefs. The idea here is that the grandeur of the cosmos and the universe demands a perspective of awe and humility towards the natural world, rather than an all-knowing and controlling deity.


The third and fourth verses focus on the importance of doing good and seeing the good in others over judgment and condemnation. The phrase "Voir en chacun de nous une bonté minimum" suggests that we should try to see the good in others rather than assuming the worst. This theme carries over into the final lines of the song, which hint at the importance of self-love as a form of religion, as well as the importance of surrounding oneself with people who see the best in us.


Overall, "Religion" presents a refreshing and optimistic take on universal values such as kindness and respect. Instead of focusing on religious beliefs that often divide people, S.P.A.D. seems to suggest that we should celebrate our common humanity and strive to live in a more compassionate and empathetic way.
