Watch what you say on the stand. You're running in circles.
I know more than you think and your words are empty.
Of all the heavenly host's!
This will all make sense when the records gold.
What's a few more units for your soul?

You're waisting my time,
while there waisting away.
You'll never, you'll never save me.
You've dropped every line,
but they don't mean a thing.
You'll never, you'll never save me.

You live your life in the saddest way I've ever seen.
You are the reason i don't believe.
I'm not denying the worth of things unseen,
and this isn't a part of the next big thing.
I'm just dying to show them all that you are.
You are nothing.

    My Interpretation:This song is about how some of the christian bands ADTR toured with were huge hypocrites and some of the worst people they have ever met. This song outlines why Jeremy Mckinnon does not believe.

    General Comment:I, myself, call myself a firm believer in God. Although the lyrics in this song are negative I agree with them. Many people I know just call themselves catholic (christian?) and then smoke weed, get drunk, etc. It just aggravates me how contradictory people can be. ADTR hit it spot on the nose with this one.

    General Comment:IDC what people say about this song being about him not liking the poser christans and what not but its not u tards... its about him not beliving in it.. BUT he does say "im not deniying the worth of things unseen" meaning weather or not he belives in it or not hes not saying it cant be real, and hes saying dont puch that religious bullshit on me!

    General Comment:I think it is sad how some people as anti-religion or whatever. This song is clearly about fake Christians. They SAY they live for Christ but LIVE completely differently..

    General Comment:this songs seems to be aimed at fake christians musicians who do it just to sell and fake christians
    and he doesnt necessarily not believe in God more like agnostic but because of these people he seems to be more on the non existant.... but still doesnt exclude thta there is.... and yeah not all christians are fake Tyanidexduder ........ the real ones believe in a relationship with God/Jesus Christ not religion so to them its more of a way of life.......

    General Comment:Ok I'm going out on a limb here, I agree with this song completely... I mean a relationship with Jesus Christ does not call for us to tell people what to do, force religion on them, or put people down for being different or believing different, but to share the love of God. The people this song is referring to are so focused on rules and regulations that they miss the whole point... Now don't bash me for getting all "religious"... as I said I agree with this song, love this band, but these people using Christianity for personal gain and furtherance of themselves, frankly, piss me off :) just sayin.

    General Comment:Great song, love the intro.
    These lyrics are great because most of my family are all religious, and they're always telling me how I should be a Christian, it gets really annoying.

    So I know how they feel!

    General Comment:You guys all nailed it it's a really awesome song the lyrics, don't get me wrong I'm, a firm believer, BUT it's really really true and I think almost everyone in the christian faith is guilty of being hypocritical it's a really good song and I think even christian's can learn from it.
