This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Girl of sixteen
Whole life ahead of her
Slashed her wrists
Bored with life
Didn't succeed
Thank the Lord
For small mercies
Fighting back the tears
Mother reads the note again
Sixteen candles burn in her mind
She takes the blame
It's always the same
She goes down on her knees
And prays
I don't want to start
Any blasphemous rumors
But I think that God's
Got a sick sense of humor
And when I die
I expect to find Him laughing
I don't want to start
Any blasphemous rumors
But I think that God's
Got a sick sense of humor
And when I die
I expect to find Him laughing
Girl of eighteen
Fell in love with everything
Found new life in Jesus Christ
Hit by a car
Ended up
On a life support machine
Summer's day
As she passed away
Birds were singing
In the summer's sky
Then came the rain
And once again
A tear fell
From her mother's eye
I don't want to start
Any blasphemous rumors
But I think that God's
Got a sick sense of humor
And when I die
I expect to find Him laughing
I don't want to start
Any blasphemous rumors
But I think that God's
Got a sick sense of humor
And when I die
I expect to find Him laughing
I don't want to start
Any blasphemous rumors
But I think that God's
Got a sick sense of humor
And when I die
I expect to find Him laughing
I don't want to start
Any blasphemous rumors
But I think that God's
Got a sick sense of humor
And when I die
I expect to find Him laughing
I don't want to start
Any blasphemous rumors
But I think that God's
Got a sick sense of humor
And when I die
I expect to find Him
Whole life ahead of her
Slashed her wrists
Bored with life
Didn't succeed
Thank the Lord
For small mercies
Fighting back the tears
Mother reads the note again
Sixteen candles burn in her mind
She takes the blame
It's always the same
She goes down on her knees
And prays
I don't want to start
Any blasphemous rumors
But I think that God's
Got a sick sense of humor

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
This song is about questioning God's intentions and his power. Depeche Mode were touring Eastern Europe and Asia at the time and Martin Gore saw a lot of poverty and hard things. Similar to what we see each day on the news in regards to Africa & Afghanistan... he probably saw that first hand.
If you haven't noticed, a lot of Depeche Mode's songs are about challenging God's relationship with Man.
its pretty clear what the song is about. A girl is bored with life, wants to end it, tries and fails. When she finally loves life and wants it god takes her life away. DP is saying god must have a sick sense of humor for his ways.
I just wanna say to all of you who are pontificating about Depeche Mode's view of religion and Martin's religious beliefs: This song was written and recorded when Alan Wilder was a member of the band. Although he had just joined 2 years earlier, his influence on their musical style AND on the content of their lyrics was profound on Some Great Reward(which this song was the final track on). Even though Martin Gore is credited with writing this song, there is no doubt that Alan had something to do with the inspiration for it as Alan Wilder has been very open about the fact that he is a fervent Atheist and has always been extremely scornful or organized religion. Since his departure from Depeche Mode, the bands lyrics have become even more spiritual and overtly religious in the sense of mentioning God directly. One could argue that the spirituality found on SOFAB is what drove Alan to departure.
@Sozluk I agree, Alan had a profound impact on the musical process of Depeche Mode, and he may have inspired this song (although I'd be surprised, given that there are other songs that are attributed to him, and this isn't one of them). But as far as your last statement, it was actually the process of recording SOFAD that drove him to departure, not the spiritual themes on the album.<br /> <br /> If you want to learn more about why he left, Google "We Were Going to Live Together, Record Together And It Was Going to Be Wonderful." Very insightful. :-)
This song is about how life isn't fair, nothing more nothing less.
Ahh,"Blasphemous Rumours", the story of a girl who fails a suicide attempt, then converts to Christianity only to be hit by a car and die. Redemption Equals Death indeed
The pope condemned DM for this song. How hilarious. The meaning's pretty obvious. Still when Dave sings "Summers day as she passed away" I still get a tinge of depression. Awsome song.
What is the obvious meanig to you?
Rather than a condemnation of God, to me this song seems like an expression of frustration and hurt after something horrible happens. Someone in a great deal of pain lashing out.
This song is very powerful to many and has much emotion and is going to have many many different opinions and arguments... but what we all really need to understand is no body is entirely correct and we can't go around arguing over unanswered questions and uncertain things, faith or no faith, we're all right and wrong. But anyways, if there was, a "God" that did control this whole universal system somehow (man or energy) Why blame him or it for our reckless driving and our hateful desires and our own faults as humans together... WE cause war, hate, crime, death, love... the only finger i can point at is all of us together... Trying to prove each other wrong, and believe youre own self is the ultimate correct way. Not every body is this way, I know this, but many. Besides i think people shouldnt take the bible too too seariously, i know that sounds silly to firm believers but we all make mistakes anyways, I dont thikn God punishes nor "takes" someone life away, the way they describe it in some bibles, i think... It's all very condemning. Now i dont know what i'm trying to prove, Ah i know... Communication and acceptance. and Listening to others, and accepting there own world, ofcourse if its unharmful. Ah just enjoy your freedom. Enjoy your dreams. Have faith in most anything. and love. Depeche Mode has some cool songs
I think it's more a song about tragedy and sorrow than anything else. It's about the way we feel when things happen in life that are wrong and senseless and out of order, and we feel the world doesn't work.
I don't really think this song is offensive to Christians at all.
"I don't want to start Any blasphemous rumours But I think that God's Got a sick sense of humor And when I die I expect to find Him laughing."
I believe those lyrics are meant to come from the mother's point of view. It just seems to me that when things go wrong, everyone wants to blame God, and that's exactly what the mother is doing.
