It was the perfect night
then you had to go and ruin it with a kiss now
I'm trapped inside here
the innocence we held once so carelessly has been suffocated in this breathless moment
[Chorus]
Believe in me and I will believe in you
You're asking of me everything
so I'll give it all to you
With arms raised to the stars begging them to listen
With legs littered with scars cut from these olive branches
Now, point of return now crossed and our hands left shaking
tonight we give in to tempation
[Chorus]
Believe in me and I will believe in you
You're asking of me everything
so I'll give it all to you
Someone stop my mind from screaming
It's so loud I can her myself think
Life, Death, Religion, Survival
It makes no sense
Don't try to tell me that I'm a coincidence
[Chorus x2]
Believe in me and I will believe in you
You're asking of me everything
so I'll give it all to you
If I never have you, then I can never lose
Now, everything here is a lie
Where is the truth?
Where is the fuckin truth?
then you had to go and ruin it with a kiss now
I'm trapped inside here
the innocence we held once so carelessly has been suffocated in this breathless moment
[Chorus]
Believe in me and I will believe in you
You're asking of me everything
so I'll give it all to you
With arms raised to the stars begging them to listen
With legs littered with scars cut from these olive branches
Now, point of return now crossed and our hands left shaking
tonight we give in to tempation
[Chorus]
Believe in me and I will believe in you
You're asking of me everything
so I'll give it all to you
Someone stop my mind from screaming
It's so loud I can her myself think
Life, Death, Religion, Survival
It makes no sense
Don't try to tell me that I'm a coincidence
[Chorus x2]
Believe in me and I will believe in you
You're asking of me everything
so I'll give it all to you
If I never have you, then I can never lose
Now, everything here is a lie
Where is the truth?
Where is the fuckin truth?

Basically a guy and a girl being friends, and the girl making a move on the guy and the guy feeling like he has to go out with her. He misses how they used to just be friends, before it got all complicated. The girl wants the guys virginity, and because the guy is innocent and all he doesn't realize he's being used, but he knows there's something going on.
OR:
It could be about how the Government is sucking money out of our pockets, and people are pretty much oblivious to it. And because we grow up with patriocy, we trust our Government, and they're abusing out trust. I think this one makes more sense because of the title...
Considering Tim's Agnostic, I doubt it's about Christianity with Judas etc,however I think they're using this as an extended metaphore.
I was in Sunday School the other day, and they were talking about Gethsamane, and I was like, "Wait, isn't that a Rise Against song?".
The references are metaphors. He's talking about giving himself to someone and being betrayed.
The line "Don't try to tell me that I'm a coincidence" is that he is wrestling with what the meaning of everything is, becuase he was betrayed by the person he gave himself to. They said it didn't mean anything. It was just a coincidence.
Life , death, religion , survival where's the truth?
He's suggestying you can't count on anything.
who understands that part?
Ugly coincidence.
I agree with JBcynical. Makes sense.
That's the most powerful part of this song, to me anyway.
