Song Interpretation |
---|
A journey with a loved one sprinkled with Old Testament with New Testament references along the way. Originally, the stanza was, “Hey Helena” (and is sung like that on Crash although the printed lyrics say otherwise) instead of “Hey, My Love”. Speculation held that this “Helena” was a Greek reference. It’s probably more accurate that the reference is to Constantine’s (as in the Roman ruler who legalized Christianity) Mother, St. Helena, finder of numerous Christian artifacts (including the True Cross) and built Christian Churches in the Holy Land. That places more of a Christian lean on the song during earlier times, and one of the “loves” could be the religion itself, especially in earlier versions of the song that were not so touchy-feeley graphic. |
