This is a little off topic, but I've wanted to know for a while...
Why did you guys name the songs what you did?

The Used – All That I've Got Lyrics 16 years ago
Also,
"So deep that it didn't even bleed." Saying that they pretend and pretend that everything's horrible, and cuts them so deep, but they don't even bleed (Meaning they don't really have any problems and nothing really hurts.)
"unharmed" - self explanatory
"I'm losing weight and some body heat" - That's a way of saying that the only problems those people really have are minuscule and should just be overlooked.

The Used – All That I've Got Lyrics 16 years ago
It actually seems like he's making fun of people who always over dramatize and make their situations sound oh-so-horrible.
"I'll be just fine pretending I'm not." - Talking about those people who pretend that their lives are so unbearably horrible, even though they're just fine.
"I'm far from lonely" - They've got friends and people there for them, they really aren't all that lonely
"And it's all that I've got" - Kind of like sarcasm... Even though I'm far from lonely I say how I'm incredibly lonely and pretend it's all that I've got.

The Mars Volta – Viscera Eyes Lyrics 16 years ago
Is it just me, or does it sound like it's coming from one of the other two people on the cross with Jesus?
I noticed that from 'this thief' and 'i'll remove you from that cross'

Enter Shikari – Jonny Sniper (Album version) Lyrics 16 years ago
I think the "This is all I need to feel alive" has a huge message to it. He's talking about all we need is nature. Instinctively, we're a simple human animal. But as time goes on, we "advance" as humans. The way the world's going, we'll end soon. All we need is nature to survive.

Protest the Hero – Bloodmeat Lyrics 16 years ago
Also, after hearing it many times and also thinking about it...
It's most likely "Thus now the fools of Khan."
Everyone in that area either practiced shamanism, buddhism, or taoism, mostly. So the idea of god-worshipers is pretty slim. Not to mention, Khan would make a lot more sense.

Protest the Hero – Bloodmeat Lyrics 16 years ago
The Red River (Aka Yuan River), from the maps I've seen, in a sense was a seperation between Genghis and the Jin dynasty. The ochre steppe is like a graveyard, and the bodies were covered in ochre.

Protest the Hero – Bloodmeat Lyrics 16 years ago
Actually, it's
"Now Jin is upon us." I researched Genghis Khan, and one of the dynasties he conquered was the Jin Dynasty.

So, the song is from the point of view of Genghis and his army, and the Jin dynasty and its army.

Protest the Hero – No Stars Over Bethlehem Lyrics 16 years ago
I'll burn all the lives of this angel illuminati

-Sounds like the priest wants to rid of the religion altogether.

When St. Michael sized means find an end to justify

-No clue here.

A belief to fortify this stained glass disgrace

-Saying how everyone else wants to empower the church even more, but he knows it's all a fake: "Disgrace"

Too beautiful to change or perhaps too scared

-People are scared to tear down the church because of the consequences they might face

The truth behind our lives will be erased

-Possibly saying that when you die, nothing happens (promoting atheism)

A crusader begging for a crusade in which to die

-Saying how the crusaders believe what they're doing is wrong. (Maybe referring to himself.)

Where lead locusts pierce the heart of men

-People dying from being shot.

And tie the tongues of those who lie

-During the Crusades... Saying how those who say they don't believe in God die, so they lie.


Cut the sinner, bleed redemption through the city streets

-Crusades: Killing off all the nonbelievers and sinners

That resonate in prayers of this never should be

-Prayers going to waste. God isn't real.

Someone plunged a dagger deep into God's chest and
When he groaned

-Could be saying how "God" is just as human as the rest of us

it laid our entire civilization to rest

-Maybe referring to how God was the foundation of civilization, and so when people realize it isn't true, civilization starts to crumble, per sé.

When he pulled out the dagger and marveled at the pain he could create

-Man realizing the power he has

We stuck another in his back to seal creation's fate

-Possibly: We (mankind) prove our point or prove ourselves by killing?

Now we turn from wealth in the height of all our poverty
A call that renders me ageless
Turning he pages of a belief that's greater than us all

-Saying that he (the priest) is called to something that will take his entire life, believing in something that isn't real, but still controls people


Amen to the fools and the cossacks and the pulpits

-Mocking, self-chuckling at all the people who still support and believe in this.

Amen to the people who think there's still a way to help us

-"Help us" referring to God


This is about a prison priest, so it's possible that PTH meant a priest who was imprisoned. In that case, it's as though he was persecuted for his beliefs, and now is in jail for it.
