      Naturally you are entitled to an opinion, I see this song as a stroke of genius

      The play on words is excellent, as a “sine from above” can also be about a spiritual awakening or revelation from God (if you believe in such nonsense)

      It is very telling however that the true meaning of the song lyrics is about music itself as both Lady Gaga and Elton John have spoken out against organised religion
