thisapparatus69 This song is not at all about drugs. do you honestly think that this: ["hey man this is shit, i dont feel nothing" and hes like "dude whatever your just not paying attention, this stuffs too pure not to have an effect"] is that what the song is really saying? listen again. While they may be referencing evolution/creationism, i think its more so as a theme of the main idea. "Enough bowing down to disillusion": This line is basically saying enough with bowing to things that will ultimately disappoint and that are deceiving, misleading, foundering, etc. I think Brandon chose rogues because most people would relate a negative connotation with them, but the fact that people do that is the whole point of the song. Those who are looked down upon or criticized by society are the ones who will later change our society. "& penance in a locket I’m dropping from the highest floor." PENANCE: A punishment undergone in token of penitence for sin. An act of self-mortification or devotion performed voluntarily to show sorrow for a sin or other wrongdoing. A sacrament in some Christian churches that includes contrition, confession to a priest, acceptance of punishment, and absolution. Also called reconciliation. in the song, he drops penance (which is in a locket) from the highest floor, and watches it as it shatters into a million pieces. Then comes "Songs of liberation echo from the dust." LIBERATION: The act or process of trying to achieve equal rights and status. in those two lines, it really became obvious to me what the song is about. it criticizes the way of the church (penance) and the way of society (their reaction to rogues), and thanks those who do not follow the examples our society gives us. though it may not necessarily be just abouy the church when talking about penance, it is mostly criticizing the fact that society sees being a rogue as something that is a sin and requires some sort of penance. They throw penance back at the faces of society, and reference evolution to specifically counter that, and they use rogues to specifically counter disillusion. |
