"Don't let the sun go down on me" is considered a great love song about a broken relationship, but do the words secretly refer to something else?
Here are some of the lyrics - see what you think:
I can't light no more of your darkness
(I can't teach mankind anymore)
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
(My eyes are fading, I'm dying)
I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
(I feel I have no more time left)
Frozen here on the ladder of my life
(nailed to the cross)
Too late to save myself from falling
(personally feels he failed his mission from God at time of crucifixion)
I took a chance and changed your way of life
(preaching to mankind a different way to live)
But you misread my meaning when I met you
(mankind misinterpreted my words)
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light
(I'm blinded by truth of humanity and its weaknesses)
Don't let the sun go down on me
(don't forget my existence and my teaching)

Song was not written by Elton, but Bernie Taupin who is not gay and is married.

Elton also sang "Holy Moses" about the same time, early 70s. Was he really an athiest then?

Elton may have even been married at the time (early 70s). "Tiny Dancer" is about his female wife.

I've never heard this concept. I think you are stretching here to make something spritual out of this song.

That's really weird then, because that song was written and performed by two homosexuals and Jesus doesn't like homosexuals.
