You Want it Darker

The 'flame' referred to in this song is the effect that Jesus and Mary Magdelene had on igniting the ‘awakeness’ of the people and making them challenge:

• the dogmatic beliefs of the heads of the Jewish faith

• the tyranny of the Roman occupation

So in the song 'we kill the flame' refers to getting rid of these 'anarchists' who refuse to accept the control structures. Mary was vilified and Jesus crucified.

Mary was often referred to as 'the blue of the flame'.

Leonard knows he's in his 'twilight time' and is questioning, Gods religion and the afterlife.

Born of Jewish parents in Canada his songs tell us he flirted with Judeo-Christian religious imagery and references in both the old and New Testaments.

Leonard struggled with the 'God Paradox'.

One minute God is commanding "Thou shalt not kill" and next he's giving clear instructions to carry out Genocide.

Such was he troubled by the contradictions, he sought solace in Jesus Christ who advocated love and forgiveness. For me thats why he says "I'm ready my Lord (Jesus)" when he was ready to transition.

I was confused by the God Paradox too, until some research revealed that there are two Gods - one of Love and one of Evil, and the Testaments, deliberately it seems, mixes and matches them so we are confused about God's intentions.
