Wait are you rearranging Hebrew letters to make new English words? That is some next level Glenn Beck stuff right there. You know you can't really do that to prove a point right? It doesn't make any sense.

I had a copy of the New Testament given to me by a friend many years ago. He grew up in a strict Catholic household. He was also a lover of heavy metal music. Said the devil has all the good music.
We talked a lot about religion. He knew the churche's version very well and I was interested more in the esoteric. Anyway, this bible he gave me was full (and I mean full) of a side-notes with lyrics from various bands, tying them to passages.
I'm not sure I understand why you are singling out some songs to ascribe an esoteric meaning to but, also, in this bible, was a frequently, all caps, written statement; "BEWARE FALSE PROPHETS".
Check out the lyrics for this song:
This band was a predominant one at the time (mid-late '90's) and a big part of what my friend ascribed meaning to.
I just don't see the point. I love music. I could find inner-meaning in thousands of songs.

I see our spiritual make up as a cross. You have the angels above you and the fallen below you. Then the accepting you on the left and the rejecting you on the right. The left is the future you and the right is the past you always with you. With so many influences it all becomes confusing to the cross point. The op points to the fact that communication to many influences can be achieved in everyday conversation if you know how to ask the question without freaking anyone out. Sometimes i form the question in my mind then start a conversation about something else and the answer will be there but hidden to our reality.
Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews time
his is the force that lies within
Ours is the fire, all the warmth we can find
He is a feather in the wind

If you're into esoteric messages in music, Led Zeppelin is one of the best examples in my opinion.
A quote from "All of My Love":
Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews time
his is the force that lies within
Ours is the fire, all the warmth we can find
He is a feather in the wind
The cloth is the Mother or material, the hand that sews time is the Son or image, the force that lies within is the Father or Spirit. When all three are together get the fire or light of life.
This theme runs throughout their work. "Ten Years Gone", "Misty Mountain Hop", "Hey Hey What Can I Do", "Kashmir", "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You", "Going to California", plus others all have esoteric knowledge within their lyrics.
Here come old flattop, he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball, he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please
He wear no shoeshine, he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger, he shoot coca-cola
He say "I know you, you know me"
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me
He bag production, he got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard, he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me
(Right!
Come, oh, come, come, come.)
He roller-coaster, he got early warning
He got muddy water, he one mojo filter
He say "One and one and one is three"
Got to be good-looking cos he's so hard to see
Come together right now over me
Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try,
imagine there's no hell below"

Maybe your preconceived notions are blinding you to it? Either that or they were singing to a handkerchief or something by calling it a cloth.
Backdoor man could be a reference to the Spirit or what's behind (the back of) what can be seen. The physical world is the front door, the Spirit is the backdoor, what's in between is the observer. Spirit (backdoor/behind the image) is the Father or "man" of the house with a front and back door.
We are "Spirit"ual beings having a physical experience. To come in through the back door could represent the Spirit coming into the body at conception in the womb.
I wouldn't expect you to understand though. In your opinion Jesus' parable were meant to taken literally? Or were they symbolism for a greater truth? If they were symbolism or metaphor then you have set a double standard.
