In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
So you think you're safe now, well think again
I'm not holding back now so let the games begin
My bones are breaking from
The weight of the world on my shoulders
I heard all of them say "you've sold your soul"
Now all that's left is the pain
You've destroyed us all
You've destroyed everything I know,
But I've lived through it
All the shame, all the pain that you have caused
My heart can't beat (my heart can't beat)
All the fights, all the lies you put me through
It's your disease
Go ahead, blame everything on the ones who forgive
Blame everything on the ones who forgive
All the shame, all the pain that you have caused
My heart can't beat (my heart can't beat)
All the fights, all the lies you put me through
It's your disease
You take
You take
And you
You take
You take
You take the life out of me
(I'm done)
I thought that love was bigger than you hate
I thought that love could change your heart, but I was wrong
All the shame, all the pain that you have caused
My heart can't beat (I've let go)
All the fights, all the lies you put me through
It's your disease (I was wrong)
All the shame, all the pain that you have caused
My heart can't beat (I've let go)
All the fights, all the lies you put me through
It's your disease
I'm done with this!
I'm not holding back now so let the games begin
My bones are breaking from
The weight of the world on my shoulders
I heard all of them say "you've sold your soul"
Now all that's left is the pain
You've destroyed us all
You've destroyed everything I know,
But I've lived through it
All the shame, all the pain that you have caused
My heart can't beat (my heart can't beat)
All the fights, all the lies you put me through
It's your disease
Go ahead, blame everything on the ones who forgive
Blame everything on the ones who forgive
All the shame, all the pain that you have caused
My heart can't beat (my heart can't beat)
All the fights, all the lies you put me through
It's your disease
You take
You take
And you
You take
You take
You take the life out of me
(I'm done)
I thought that love was bigger than you hate
I thought that love could change your heart, but I was wrong
All the shame, all the pain that you have caused
My heart can't beat (I've let go)
All the fights, all the lies you put me through
It's your disease (I was wrong)
All the shame, all the pain that you have caused
My heart can't beat (I've let go)
All the fights, all the lies you put me through
It's your disease
I'm done with this!

i think what they`re saying is that atheists or any other non-religious person blame everything on christians, like "religion/christianity is the roots of all evil"
i think they`re singing about atheists in general :)
