Bend me shape me
Misdirect me
It's all the same to me
Look at all this useless talk
Upon the cross

You look at me
But you don't see
Understand I'm a sinner
Don't corner me
Don't lecture me
Raise your hands
You're a sinner

Is this everything you wanted
Find another dream
You never hear a word I say
So pray

I'm a sinner
Look at all these people
In front of me
Look at all these people
In front of me
How

    General Comment:It's funny but before I saw the lyrics on this page I thought that one line "upon the cross" was really "of point and cause" which also makes sense with the lines before it when you think about. It also makes the song turn towards a more nihilistic meaning, like he doesn't think there's a point to life so why argue about sins. Anyway, it's a sad way to look at life but it makes sense in the context of this song at least. It's a message I'd expect to hear from Drowning Pool.

    General Comment:he thinks that other people see religion as an answer for unexplainable things

    Bend me shape me misdirect me
    It's all the same to me
    Look at all this useless talk
    Upon the cross

    its like he finds religion unimportant and he cant escape from the 'useless talk'

    You look at me but you don't see
    Understand I'm a sinner

    if you think about it were all sinners. anglican catholic islamic ... any religion. were human

    Don't corner me
    Don't lecture me
    Raise your hands you're a sinner

    here hes saying that they do the same and sin, but try to lecture him. hypocritical

    lIs this everything you wanted find another dream

    do you just want to live by the bible? will you just use the word of god for an ansa or will you think outside teh square u live in?


    You never hear a word I say
    So pray

    maybe this line means that sum religious fanatic cant understand him or wont listen to him. they become confused and instead of tryin to resolve the communication problem, they just rely on god,pray and think that it will be fixed

    the people in front of him may be the ones that crossed from normal humans and are blinded by christianity and he cant understand why they have succumbed.

    yeah

    General Comment:I think this song has a lot to do with the seven deadly sins, if you notice, a few of them are well portayed. If you dont know what i am talking about, see the movie Se7en (seven) its good.

    General Comment:."sinner" drowning pool
    bend me shape me misdirect me
    .to me, this line sounds like "bend me rape me misdirect me." I find my interpretive kinkiness of the song amusing.

    it's all the same to me
    look at all this useless talk
    upon the cross
    .upon the cross? is that a religious reference? I cant say I enjoy it, but I will not speak ill of the dead's songwriting.

    you look at me
    but you don't see
    understand I'm a sinner
    don't corner me
    don't lecture me
    raise your hands you're a sinner
    .this was my anthem for middle school. top group, to the teachers, meant perfect class, perfect students. there were the few of us that lived each day spitefully plotting against the teachers.

    is this everything you wanted
    find another dream
    .corny, yes, but this line reminds me of my many crushes... I get the boy I want and I realize its not everything I wanted... I know the one I really want is out of reach, and I know I should find someone else.

    you never hear a word I say
    so pray
    ."so pray." I wont say anything, really... I love Dave Williams.
