In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
You are the one we despise
Day in day out your words compromise lives
I will love watching you die
Soon it will be and by your own demise
Buried in hypocrisy
Lacerate your faith in god
Morally diseased
On the cross of Calvary your body bashed, defeated, stabbed
Blessing as you hate
Loyal to your enemies
Monetary faith
As him you'll pay for the lies of your prophecy
Satan wants you dead
Kill the christian, kill the christian
Kill the christian, kill the christian
Kill the christian, kill the christian
Kill the christian
Armies of darkness unite
Destroy their temples and churches with fire
Where in his world will you hide
Sentenced to death, the anointment of Christ
In due time your path leads to me
Put you out of your misery
The death of prediction
Kill the christian
Kill the christian...dead!
Day in day out your words compromise lives
I will love watching you die
Soon it will be and by your own demise
Buried in hypocrisy
Lacerate your faith in god
Morally diseased
On the cross of Calvary your body bashed, defeated, stabbed
Blessing as you hate
Loyal to your enemies
Monetary faith
As him you'll pay for the lies of your prophecy
Satan wants you dead
Kill the christian, kill the christian
Kill the christian, kill the christian
Kill the christian, kill the christian
Kill the christian
Armies of darkness unite
Destroy their temples and churches with fire
Where in his world will you hide
Sentenced to death, the anointment of Christ
In due time your path leads to me
Put you out of your misery
The death of prediction
Kill the christian
Kill the christian...dead!

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
KILL THE CHRISTIANS!!!!!!!!!!fuck ur god and ur christ this song kicks ass kill all christians and jews
people like you should be tied up and sodomized.
KILL EVERY FUCKING ONE OF THEM!!! HAIL LORD SATAN!!!!!
Actually, thy're usually Black metal bands. But now i'm just being a nit-picking asshole. Glenn isn't being serious with most of this stuff, he just says things to express his anger at the hypocrisy of religion and stuff. C'mon, the man lives in Florida.
bla bla bla
You guys have it all wrong. It's about the love FOR christians. Christians are always whining about how immoral everyone is, and how everyone should suspend desire in order to make it through the pearly gates to heaven. Well, this is the song that should be played while one puts them out of their misery. They may not like it now, but will be thanking you and Deicide later. Now, they can be among the like-minded where they can dazzle each other with how moral they were before they were offed by a generous Deicide fan. Besides, what validity would GOD have if there were not Deicide or their fans? NONE. Evil justifies good. SO STOP COMPLAINING, YOU CHRISTIANS! We give you a reason to ....DIE hahahaha!
Oh and I think there is one thing we can agree on... this song is total crap, and doesn't represent the views of an atheist as much as the views of someone who should be incarcerated... immediately. Honestly, it is garbage like this that make me with people weren't allowed to have opinions.
No offense, i mean obviously i don't really think being agnostic is arrogant. All I'm saying is agnosticism isn't much of a worldview.
If you honestly think that Glenn himself would, or expects his fans to go out and kill Christian's or beat people about the head with Bibles, not only are you too easily offended, but you're also lacking intelligence. There ARE Death Metal bands in which members have actually murdered people and burned churches.
Then again, some fools like "TonkpilS_666_13" would take his message seriously.
On one hand we have deeply intelligent Deicide fans, like shadowwiththeeyes, who present carefully thought out posts, which provide intellectual gristle, upon which to chew and then on the other hand we have Necronic...
stop criticising me for my beliefs
