| @[MrMojoRisin5552:8488] I think that a majority of the the responses to your interpretation of this are basically repeating your theory, in different words. yet they are clearly stating that they interpret the lyrics differently. with that being said, MY interpretation of those oppositionals ... that this is part of the problems this song speaks of .. the not listening ... just holding back until you finish the thought .. but actually hearing what was spoken. as for my point of view on the song.. the first of the ten commandments (shalt not worship false Gods/other Gods) is clear through out the song. and the end result leading to God's wrath which is really a destruction they created themselves by not paying attention to the signs written out clearly for them... obviously I agree with your analysis ... however .. to me it could be either faith related or a warning of a future here on earth if we continue down this selfish, close minded and outspoken path ... it's only leading to destruction and chaos and that only leads to more hate and anger. with or without God and religion the song holds true ... false praise or attention to neon Gods could be media feeding us only what they want us to know with subliminal ads and news reports ... leading to apathy, paranoia, and mistrust of our own. and to our own destruction | |
