Yes, what you said, but specifically about substance abuse and addiction. I think it is pretty clear... there are multiple references to it in the song... |

| Megadeth – Elysian Fields Lyrics

I think it is a kind of mix of ideas.
The Elysian fields isn't exactly heaven, it is like the greek/roman heaven, but not. If I'm not mistaken, it more heavily rewards heroism in war. which makes it perfect for the premise of this song, which is that humans are violent by nature and reject salvation from christ.
The first verse illustrates how humanity has rejected god and instead chosen sin. The second verse paints a picture of humans charging upon heaven to bring war to against god, as if we could take our salvation instead of earning it. It is a kind of lyric that highlights our stubbornness. That if we would just live good lives, we could eliminate so much pain and suffering, but humans instead tend to want to fight and resort to violence and sin.
I know it is an incredibly christian message, and that this is before Dave was oficially born again... but to me this song is obviously saying these things... I think it was a sort of precursor to Dave turning into a Bible Banger. |

@[Christina78:45345] Roger Waters has said that the the inspiration for the wall was the distance he put between himself and the fans. This is why during the live performance, a physical wall is build between the audience and the band during the concert, until the point in which the band cannot be seen and you can just focus on the music. So, you are pretty close! |

@[Yarand21:38899] I would argue that adding religious references and potential misunderstandings adds flare and points for style... Which i believe was at least unintentionally intended... I mean, you want it to attract the ear... so people like to listen to it... and, "what's that?, Carmen is walking with the devil?...." I hope my train of thought wasn't too confusing.... |
