Spiritual Beggars are basically a reversion to true rock roots. Although this is no-way a retrogression of musical techniques. They offer intelligent and burnished pieces of euphony, that come across like a junkie of groove. In other words a musical drug, an addictive blend of severity and harmony.

The Goddess
Spiritual Beggars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I said, "I know what you mean"
I gave her a little more red wine
Our dreams came up for air
Messengers from beyond
Future plans and history
I caught a little cloud
My semen took off
You make me high, make me fly
Make me king of life
You shake the earth, shake the dirt
And we dance into the sun
Sacred words appear
Questions solved and we are gods
The goddess is for real
In "The Goddess" by Spiritual Beggars, the lyrics describe a conversation between two people who recognize a connection that suggests they are not of this world. The singer acknowledges that the person he is speaking with is from another world, and they both find common ground in this realization. The lyrics talk about how they both indulge in a little bit of wine, which allows them to open up about their dreams and aspirations. They become messengers for each other, discussing future plans and history.
The chorus of the song talks about the profound effect the other person has on the singer. The emotions they feel are so strong that they make them feel high, fly and like the king of life. The other person is described as shaking the earth, shaking the dirt, and dancing into the sun. The lyrics evoke a sense of transcendence, and the singer describes a feeling of strengthened connection with the universe. The final line of the song, "The goddess is for real," suggests that the person he is speaking with is a divine being, one that has changed the singer's life.
