Blessed box at the back-seat
The Ex's song Blessed Box at the Backseat is a unique blend of punk rock and gospel music. The lyrics are rich in religious symbolism and motifs, and they tell the story of a man who is transported to heaven in his Chevy car. The singer describes how Jesus arrives, carrying a blessed box in the back-seat of his car. This box is said to contain encyclopedias that can make one free from sin. The singer then exclaims "holy cow", and claims that the box will be sold out soon.
The second half of the song continues in the same vein, with the singer describing how the Chevy ascends to heaven, which is said to be located in Hawaii. The chorus, which repeats several times, is a plea for Jesus to come back, followed by the observation that another Jesus is coming. The lyrics of Blessed Box at the Backseat are a satirical take on religion and consumer culture, and they explore themes such as redemption, salvation, and the commodification of faith.
