American Pie - Verse Two

 

Did you write the book of love?
And do you have faith in God above?
If the Bible tells you so.

Now, do you believe in rock and roll?
Can music save your mortal soul?

Can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Well, I know that you're in love with him.

Cause, I saw you dancing in the gym.
You both kicked off your shoes.
Man I dig those rhythm and blues.

I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck,
with a pink carnation and a pick up truck.
But I knew that I was out of luck
the day the music died, I started singin'.


The second verse of American Pie mentions two different kinds of music. They symbolize the division between good and evil, likewise two different ways of life. Sacred music representing the good.

Did you write the book of love? Do you have faith in God above? If the Bible tells you so: The book of love is the Bible. This verse asks Are you a Christian with genuine faith in God above? and representing the evil;

Now, do you believe in Rock and Roll? Can music save your mortal soul?: The song asks, Is there salvation in the Humanist religion symbolized by rock and roll"? Which will save your soul, Humanism with its heathen/pagan practices. Or can Christianity save you? The listener is offered a choice, the way of life represented by sacred music or the way of life represented by rock and roll music?

And can you teach me how to dance real slow? This simply means, which can teach me how to live in peace and safety, Christianity or Humanism?

Well, I know that you're in love with him: In this verse "you're" is Miss America. This verse symbolizes America's whoring after other gods. The him is a code word for Satan as revealed in verse five. As I watched him on the stage, my hands were clutched in fists of rage, no angel born in hell, could break that Satan's spell." The him on the stage was Satan. Not Satan", a spirit being, but rather ideas and ways of flesh and blood adversaries of Christian America. It is plain for all to see that today's America is in love with Satan. (Abortions, drugs, pornography, drunkenness, lotteries, marital unfaithfulness and on and on.)

Cause, I saw you dancing in the gym. You both kicked off your shoes: Miss America and him embraced each other with wild abandonment in the gym." The gym is found in the school. What do we teach our children in public Schools? The New Morality, Values Clarification, Death Education, Sex Education and other Satanic Humanist perversions.

Man, I dig those rhythm and blues: The Christian singing this song went along with the crowd, as he digged those rhythm and blues", he became one of the good-ole-boys." And America loves it that way. I dig them rhythm and blues." If you speak out about the situation in America, you are cut off with, love it or leave it"!

I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck with a pink carnation and a pickup truck: A pink carnation and pick up truck are word symbols for being headed for destruction. A promiscuous sex life is symbolized in the words, bronkin' buck." He knew that, with this life style, he could be headed for destruction.

But I knew that I was out of luck the day the music died: This song mentions two types of music. One will die. Will it be the sacred music, or the rock and roll music? He knew that it was now time to pay the fiddler for his time of dancing with Satan. Realizing that he was out of luck, Christian boy says, I started singin';
 

So, Bye Bye, Miss American Pie.
  Drove my Chevy to the levee.
    But the levee was dry.

Them good-ole-boys were drinking
  Whiskey and rye, singing
    This'll be the day that I die,
      this'll be the day that I die."
