This song has very Christian underpinnings as do many Collective Soul songs (Run, The World I Know, Shine, Simple to name a small sample). "cup runneth over" is a direct quote from Psalm 23:5, he's just playing with context by saying "Your" instead of "My." He also references the common sins of our day: Ambiance and Vanity, our "basic needs." The song is a subtle blend of social commentary in light of Christian ideals. I think you'll fin these guys are no ordinary rock band if you listen to the songs I mentioned. Very good music.
It seems that a lot of people, maybe younger people don't get the Christian meaning to a lot of C>S>'s songs. Persuasion of you, Bearing Witness, .I've looked up to try to find out if the group are a Christian group. I'm not into Christian music, but if you listen to a lot of C>S>'s songs and put God in the place of where you think their singing about a girl , you'll see it.
