Jesus on the Dashboard
Reflections on Faith: Jesus on the Dashboard Exploring Human Dilemmas
Lyrics
Thought I saw God on the highway, but it was all for show
Perceived a divine presence on the highway, but it was a mere spectacle.
Thought I saw him look down on me for the things I'll never know
Felt a sense of divine judgment for unknown aspects of life.
Couldn't hear a work you were sayin'
Unable to hear what others were saying, possibly indifferent.
Didn't really care
Lacked genuine interest in the words spoken.
Threw my thoughts to the rear view mirror and let 'em fly through the air
Dismissed thoughts, letting them go as they fly away in the rearview mirror.
Reconciliation for the ages
Refers to reconciliation spanning through time.
Holy words on useless billboards
Mentions religious phrases on ineffective billboards.
And Jesus on the Dashboard
Symbolizes Jesus on the car dashboard, possibly as a guiding presence.
Holy water and gasoline don't tend to mix so well
Contrasts holy water and gasoline, suggesting incompatible elements.
But I guess I'll learn the truth when I'm rotting down in Hell
Contemplates discovering the truth in Hell, implying consequences for actions.
Cigarettes and Redbull and twenty dollars to our name
Depicts a challenging situation with minimal resources (cigarettes, Redbull, and $20).
Payin off the debts for our sins, but really who's blame
Paying off debts for sins while questioning who is truly to blame.
Thought I saw Jesus on the Dashboard
Reiterates the perception of seeing Jesus on the car dashboard.
Judging me for every move I make
Feels judged by Jesus for every action.
Mortal sins manifesting in my head
Suggests internal struggles with significant sins taking shape in thoughts.
Swear to God that this could be our end
Expresses a belief that the current situation could lead to an end.
Reconciliation for the ages
Reiterates the theme of reconciliation across time.
Holy words on useless billboards
Highlights religious phrases on ineffective billboards again.
And Jesus on the Dashboard
Reaffirms the symbolic presence of Jesus on the car dashboard.
