MAKE IT A METAPHOR (Country Ballad) | When People Try to Shrink the Giants “Make It a Metaphor” is a straight-shooting, neo-traditional country ballad about a modern habit that shows up in sermons, classrooms, and everyday conversation: taking the Biblical accounts of giants—and turning them into “poetry,” “myth,” or “symbolism” so they don’t have to be taken as real history. The song opens with a simple moment: a preacher on the radio talking about David and Goliath, then quickly steering the listener away from the “details” as if the plain meaning is something to outgrow. From there, the lyric zooms out and asks why this keeps happening. It explores the pressure people feel to sound “reasonable,” the way institutions reward careful, softened language, and the social comfort that comes from treating the uncomfortable parts of Scripture like they’re only meant to be inspirational—not factual. But the song doesn’t stay abstract. It calls out the scale and specificity of the text itself: giants described as tall as cedars and strong as oaks, Og of Bashan tied to an iron bed measured in huge dimensions, and the “six fingers and six toes” detail that reads like a dead giveaway these weren’t just unusually tall men. The point isn’t shock value—the point is honesty. The song challenges the listener to notice how often people are trained to read right past the plain statements on the page because accepting them would disrupt a carefully managed worldview. A spoken section drives the emotional core home: most people don’t want to live in a world where giants can exist—because that’s terrifying. So it’s easier to pretend that if you ignore what Scripture says, it can’t be real. The song frames that impulse as a kind of self-soothing that avoids the harder kind of trust: believing Yahweh is bigger than any threat, even one that scares you. Ultimately, “Make It a Metaphor” is a pushback against “safe religion” and “edited Scripture.” It’s a call to let the text stand as written—without trimming it down to fit modern expectations—and to recognize that shrinking the giants is often the first step toward shrinking everything else that’s inconvenient. Themes: truth vs. comfort • institutional softening • fear of ridicule • pride • faith that doesn’t need permission • Scripture as history, not just inspiration
