I had read somewhere that Luke, the lead singer, had gotten the name "Antoine" from a book. However, I can't remember if this is accurate information or what book it's from.. :/ I think the whole "my world is the best in all the world/but is it true to me" could be some sort of propaganda type thing. For instance, some countries or lifestyles or any sort of organized groups are deemed the best by the members of them, every organized group of people always considers themselves to be superior but sometimes the people who are affiliated aforementioned groups although being told that it's the best sometimes don't believe it? maybe the speaker is beginning to question what his world has taught him. I think that is what the whole creed type stanza is about. the speaker is reciting what he believes. the speaker believes in blood, sun , and the water. the correlation to the red, yellow, and blue of the previous album is apparent, but what does it mean exactly. I think it's the recipe for life. blood, obviously. sun could be energy of all its forms and water the essential element. I think the part about "I believe in things that I can't see" that could be interpreted as a higher power, but I see as more of believing in abstract ideas like Hedonism or something like that. the chorus I think is just reinstating the fact the people don't know everything and that everyone is equal because of the fact that there is billions and billions of lives out there. just my guess. I don't claim to be right by any means. :?
