Joining the Discussion: "Grenade"

Recently, we spent time discussing lyrics of songs that are currently played on most radio stations. We looked at “Grenade” by Bruno Mars, and also “Firework” by Katy Perry. There were such GREAT discussions sparked by elements of spirituality, truth, (or UNtrue things!) and faith found in these song lyrics. Check out a small section from “Grenade” -

If my body was on fire, ooh
You’d watch me burn down in flames
You said you loved me you're a liar
Cause you never, ever, ever did baby...
But darling I’ll still catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I’d jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah , yeah)
You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, oh, I would go through all this pain,
Take a bullet straight through my brain,
Yes, I would die for ya baby;
But you won't do the same.

Do you see bits of Biblical Truth in here? Elements of faithfulness vs. unfaithfulness? Things Jesus might say? (or might NOT say?) What do you think? :)
