| Chevelle – Point #1 Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
The song IS about spirituality. The concept of magnifying pain and paying for the whole sum is relevant in many religions (eye for an eye). Magnifying pain is the guilt brought on by religion, most likely Christianity. The healing aloe plant and soothing hands refer to the healing earth and the soothing power of the hands of women and men. The loss is a loss of faith, and he says to keep tabs upon it isn't wasted time. Gaining the world and having nothing conveys a sense of knowing the world is simply the world, yet the emptiness left from a loss of faith is damaging. Rebuking refers to rebuking religion, probably Christianity, which is then referred to as a twisted dream. Magnifying pain is point #1 in many religions, because guilt and fear are two of the strongest tools used to lead individuals to do the bidding of others. Hope that clears everything up. |

| Queens of the Stone Age – 3's & 7's Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| This song IS about the bible. Reading it using a formula of 3's and 7's yields the true message. The four girls in the video are a play on the four horsemen of the apocalypse. The deception and lies he speaks of are those of Christianity. Since they use the same two testaments, Judaisism is also applicable. Overall, Queens of the Stone Age wrote the song as an affront to organized religion as a whole. | |
