This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
God is the reason we live in dismay
It is his will that this world's suffering
If we do not believe what you foretell
We can expect afterlife will be hell
You are the one who killed his own son
We are the ones you're blaming it on
Lust was created beginning with hymn
When we indulge we are guilty of sin
Torture our lives with confusion and lies
Mass contradiction, religious facades
Blame it on god
Blame it on god
Blame it on god, liar
Lord of salvation keep looking away
It is your will that this world goes astray
Take us each day from this place you unworthed
Unfulfilled promise of heaven on earth
You are the one who killed your own son
We are the ones your hatred is on
Children are dying and this you're content
Where is your profit in what you have left
No intervention from angels above
God is the reason that satan lives on.
It is his will that this world's suffering
If we do not believe what you foretell
We can expect afterlife will be hell
You are the one who killed his own son
We are the ones you're blaming it on
Lust was created beginning with hymn
When we indulge we are guilty of sin
Torture our lives with confusion and lies
Mass contradiction, religious facades
Blame it on god
Blame it on god
Blame it on god, liar
Lord of salvation keep looking away
It is your will that this world goes astray
Take us each day from this place you unworthed
Unfulfilled promise of heaven on earth
You are the one who killed your own son
We are the ones your hatred is on
Children are dying and this you're content
Where is your profit in what you have left
No intervention from angels above
God is the reason that satan lives on.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Plastic Bag

Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
I thought this site was called : Song Meanings. Not Christians vs. Anti christians. I thought I was gonna get some ideas and opinions about what the meaning of this song is for some people. But instead I find all this nerdrage... People on the internet harassing eachother by no means, Just listen to yourselves. You've never met. You never will. You don't know peoples ages/religions/name. I can say that I'm christian when am a muslim its simple to lie about it.
It's like watching the special olympics, holy shit you guys are retarded. Arguing on a website with random people. Get a freaking life. I thought this site was serious.
This song is about the idiots who glorify the torture of a man, the ones who wear the crucifix and scream at you because "were all going to hell". Well, there is nothing more hellacious than going to church and seeing the statue of an agonizing, dying, bloodied Jesus scaring the shit of little children. "You are the ones who killed your own son" - I couldnt have said it any better. Here's this cult of Christian wacknuts perpetrating an event in order to sell the "babble". It's like killing someone and saying to someone else, "See what you did to them?" God IS the reason Satan lives on because of the bullshit his (gods) followers dish out. Worship of God throughout time has spawned the bloodiest of events from the Jewish genocide of pagan Caananites to the witch hunt of heretics during the inquisitions to the bloody crusades in Europe and to the present days Muslims and terrorism. Its clear, GOD worship is bloody and truly EVIL. Deicide shows this well. To those with the power of discernment (a rare trait among Christians), you would understand the message behind this song. But, its apparent weve got diehard christians who are drawn to controversy, to make ignorant posts dissing the band. And that actually works IN FAVOR for Deicide, because it shows the intolerance inherent among sheepish christians. Life will truly be better once monotheistic worship becomes a thing of the past.
your and idiot that line is about the biblical story of Abraham sacrificing his son for god....and god is the reason that satan lives on, is self explanatory if theres no belief in god then thers no satan man your fuck ignorant...im not satanic or christian or religious for that matter and i kno this
GREAT SONG
Man your a fuckin idiot, shut up and die you piece of shit
I think this song is about blaming stuff on god.
You kids have no idea of what you are talking about. These guys are awesome. Just because you are some religious little bastards dosen't mean that they suck.
Everyone has there own opinion.. But we DONT want to hear yours..! If you dont like Deicide, then stay the fuck out. Simple as that.
Well this is a place to post what the lyrics mean, and uh.. You people wont stop bitching about Deicide, So if you dont like them Stay out.
I don't think anyone should take offense. I think this song describes how a lot of people feel. Don't we all sometimes blame God for the bad? I've blamed him all my life for some past stuff that have gone wrong in my life. I've questions a lot of things. Sometimes we're in deep mud through no fault of our own, and sometimes because of our own choices. Even if we can't feel him, I don't believe that he doesn't send a sign or something to tell us the way to get out of our muds. I'm certain that he sends people, signs, things to guide us through because though we blame and hate God, he still loves us and is always reaching out to us. No matter what we do, he loves us and he will forgive.
THis song sucks
Well i think it´s about critizing about society/religion = the same thing, but all that matters is the music which is one of the finest dm acts of all time, dont take it too seriously. HAILLS FROM FINLAND!!!!!!!!!!
