4. ‘Dark Horse’s’ Lyrics Are Dark, Unlike the Christian Song

Perry’s song suggests a kind of supernatural power she will use against her man:

So you wanna play with magic
Boy you should know what you’re fallin’ for
Baby do you dare to do this
‘Cause I’m comin’ at you like a dark horse

The singer herself admitted to the witch-centric wording, telling MTV:

…the lyrics are kind of witchy and dark, as if I was a witch warning this man not to fall in love with me, and if you do know I’m going to be your last.

She also talked about it being a “witchy, spell-y kind of black magic-y idea.”

5. Flame’s Lyrics Praise Jesus

The Christian singer’s lyrics sing quite another tune, literally.

The entire song is dedicated to the life of Jesus Christ, and how people should follow his teachings:

One day we gon’ be out man, like three strikes
And home son like a homerun CHRIST
IS – KING – LION – LAMB – GOD – MAN – SIN CONQUEROR – GRAVE CONQUEROR – SATAN CONQURER
Can take a sinner, atheist sinner to God conscience
Can take nothing
