Modern Jesus
by
Portugal. The Man
This song is a profound commentary on modern society's reliance on external solutions for internal problems. The lyrics suggest skepticism towards quick fixes, represented by the 'pill for everything', and criticise the hollow promises of dream sellers. The refrain 'Don't pray for us, we don't need no modern Jesus' can be seen as a rejection of the idea that salvation comes from outside oneself. Instead, the band advocates for self-reliance and resilience, encapsulated in their faith in themselves. They challenge listeners to question societal norms and find their own path to fulfillment. #SelfReliance #QuestioningSociety
