Virgin Mary
Salem Al Fakir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She was sweet
Beautiful as one could be
She did it all with style and grace
She was hard
Hard to get
But with my heart already set
She was the light to guide me...
Home is the place I thought I'd found
It wasn't it, no solid ground
Didn't wanna be around when it all fell down
So lucky I got out in time
I was her king
She was my queen
Virgin Mary and Charlie Sheen
We were truly meant to be
We fell in love
But love is blind
And lovers take what lovers find
It was too good, too good to be true
The light was far away from home...
The lyrics to Salem Al Fakir's song Virgin Mary can be interpreted in a few ways, but the most apparent interpretation is about a relationship that was filled with love, beauty, and passion, but ended in heartbreak for the singer. The first verse is about a woman who is described as both tough and sweet, and who carries herself with elegance. The singer is in love with her but finds her hard to get, maybe because she is too independent or has her own personal struggles. Despite this, he can't get her out of his head, and she becomes his guiding light.
The second verse describes the singer's search for a sense of home, which he initially found in the arms of the woman he loves. However, this perfect scenario falls apart, and the singer realizes that this relationship was not the stable foundation he was searching for, and he was lucky to have gotten out when he did. The bridge describes the singer and his love as "Virgin Mary and Charlie Sheen," two opposites that were meant to be, but still couldn't make it work. They fell in love, but it was a love that was too good to be true, and ultimately failed, leaving the singer in the dark once more.
Overall, the song could be interpreted as a reflection on how love can be fleeting, and how even the most beautiful and perfect relationships can fall apart. It also speaks to the idea that some people are meant to be together, but that doesn't mean they will stay together forever.
