Biblical imagery in the lyrics of Nick CaveGomboc, Martina (Avtor) Kennedy, Victor (Mentor) besedilaBiblijapodobemetaforeljubezenBogNick CaveNick Cave is a singer, lyricist, poet and writer. His way of writing is very singular and therefore very compelling. In my diploma I presented the reasons for his unique approach to writing lyrics. His way of expressing himself has been influenced by his life experience. Personal tragedies, love affairs, and his relationship with God. His lyrics are full of biblical imagery. In the first part I presented his views and explanations for his songwriting. In the second part I looked for the themes presented in his lyrics. His spiritual journey took him from Anglican religion to Christianity and beyond. His intense study of the Old Testament influenced his behaviour and his songwriting in his early years. Him turning to New Testament boosted his imagination to the next level. His once brutal and violent lyrics got some soul over the years. Still he claims that his songs are not religious as he rejects institutionalised Catholic church. He uses images from the Bible as metaphors to express himself, which gives his songs deeper meaning.[M.
