In the mid nineties, I had a little red Buick and a big ol’ bass box in the trunk, and would listen to “Christian Rock”, cranked to 11.
(What did you say? Huh? Can you say that again, I didn’t hear you….)
I have gotten away from that genre for many reasons, the least of which may be a loss of hearing, but some songs have stuck with me over the decades.
The artist’s I listened to sought to reflect Scriptural teaching for the most part. They ranged from “preaching” pop culture religion to significant theological teaching. As I listened to the lyrics, I found some to be quite challenging.
To be honest, I listened because I could justify the rock beat with “sanctified lyrics”.
Occasionally I will post a song, supply the lyrics and make a comment or two. If you decide to listen to the tune, turn the speaker down unless you are already deaf. Some of the songs tend to have a certain “volume” about them!
This post will consider the song
Deeper – by Alice Cooper
Every time I think of Alice, I am amazed that he has confessed Christ and the life he has lived. In my mind, he is the rock equivalent of Johnny Cash, and both men lived a hard life, turning to Jesus for their sanity and salvation.
This song comes off of his 2nd album, Dragon Town in his trilogy of creation, the fall and redemption. Take a read and listen below!
Deeper
We must complete the trip
Try not to lose your grip
No sight of solid ground
And never look straight down
Deeper, deeper
Deeper, deeper
Your claustrophobic brain
Sucking you down the drain
The walls are closing in
The air is gettin’ thin
The elevator broke
It went right through the floor
It left a burning hole
Down and down and down we go
We’re in a deadly spin
Hating this spin we’re in
Our helpless panic grows
Down and down and down we go
Daylight is at an end
You’ll never see again
You’ll soon embrace the sight
Of this cold eternal light
The elevator broke
It went right through the floor
It left a burning hole
Down and down and down we go
We’re in a deadly spin
Hating this spin we’re in
Our helpless panic grows
Down and down and down we go
The elevator broke
It went right through the floor
It left a burning hole
Down and down and down we go
We’re in a deadly spin
Hating this spin we’re in
Our helpless panic grows
Down and down and down we go
The elevator broke
It went right through the floor
It left a burning hole
Down and down and down we go
We’re in a deadly spin
Hating this spin we’re in
Our helpless panic grows
Down and down and down we go
Alice is a entertainer and instructor!
Take a listen!
Deeper – Alice Cooper
