Lyric discussion by duzeus 

with respect to your religious beliefs lap1021 I don't think forcing religion into all of Sufjan songs would be appreciated. I know Sufjan is very religious but I don't think he'd appreciate being pigeon-holed, if Sufjan says that this song is about a friends wedding then it is, he should know.

As a wonderful artist, I'm sure Sufjan is capable of creating parallels between the Bible and experiences from his own life.

I think it's completely plausible that there could be parallels in this song, especially when you consider how often he references the Bible in his other songs.
