[QUOTE="BookofMatt, post: 69397342, member: 318724"] Rahmemhotep did hit the nail on the head a bit. The song was actually inspired by Priscilla Presley's book 'Elvis and Me' and the one-sided and unbalanced adulation/idolization of a partner in a relationship; the idols we make out of our obsessions, be it with pop stars or with our lovers. However, Martin Gore's lyrics are usually intended to be open to interpretation. "Personal Jesus" can be interpreted as being about the Biblical Jesus (Johnny Cash thought so when he recorded his version), but I've also commonly heard people say it's a song [I]against[/I] religion, or a song about drug addiction, or even a song about phone sex. There's really no "correct" answer. [/QUOTE]
