Mother

As a matter of fact I do think there is an explicit religious intent in the lyrics, more specifically In the chorus:<br /> <br /> "Not about to see your light<br /> But if you want to find hell with me<br /> I can show you what it's like<br /> Till you're bleeding"<br /> <br /> where "Not about to see your light" could be interpreted as salvation, religion, christianism, he is not willing to "save himself", "go to the light" of the father's/mother's religion. <br /> <br /> That sentence is followed by "But if you want to find hell with me", meaning he is, on the other hand, willing to show the father/mother what "his hell", his religion (satanism?) is like ("till you're bleeding").<br /> <br /> On the official music clip there's a scene where (Glen) Danzig is standing over a pentagram while he is singing the chorus, near the end of the clip, followed by a scene where he rips a chicken open, spilling blood over a girl standing on a "sacrificial altar" with "the daughter" (supposedly) standing beside him. At the very end of the clip, she smudges the chicken blood over the other girl's belly, and licks it.<br /> <br /> That said, don't get me wrong. I love this song! But I do confess it gets me a little restless because of the religion related stuff (being from a catholic upbringing and a fan of metal - I'm a walking contradiction).

@duckypwns I agree with both of you and think there may be undertones that he's a bad boy who curses, has premarital sex and refuses to "see the light" in regard to not doing those things, and that's about as much as the song is tied to religion. I don't think this song has satanic ties at all, I think it's definitely about trying to coddle your teens like children as long as you can to keep them innocent, only for them to become an adult and lose their innocence just like everyone else anyway.

@Violentpacifist not just rock music. Rap was also heavily targeted
