Personal Jesus
The Relentless Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there
Feeling unknown
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
Take second best
Put me to the test
Things on your chest
You need to confess
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus
Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus
Reach out and touch faith
The song "Personal Jesus" by The Relentless (from the movie American Satan) explores the concept of having your own personal deity or savior, someone to confide in and seek solace from. The lyrics highlight the isolation and loneliness that people can feel, and the desire for someone to listen to them and offer support. The lines "Feeling unknown and you're all alone" and "Flesh and bone by the telephone" convey a sense of desperation and a need for connection.
The chorus encourages the listener to "reach out and touch faith" and to find their own personal Jesus, who is someone who will listen to their prayers and be there for them. The bridge of the song further emphasizes the idea of confession and forgiveness, with the lyrics "Take second best, put me to the test, things on your chest, you need to confess. I will deliver, you know I'm a forgiver." Overall, the song is a commentary on the human need for connection, support, and faith.
