| Streetlight Manifesto – With Any Sort of Certainty Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I think it's about agnosticism and skepticism. Consider the following lyric. "Nobody mentioning that the pieces wouldn't fit You can rearrange them all you want But the puzzle it was rigged" He's suggesting that knowing what happens after death is impossible because of the permanent nature of death. The puzzle of what happens to our "souls" is hence rigged, because it is an impossible puzzle to solve. Another lyric that lead me to this conclusion: "But I heard someone say they knew that someday that everything would fall into its place And everything would be fine And I really truly honestly without a doubt want to believe that everything will be alright" He says that he *wants* to believe, not that he does or that he can. In contrast to the lyric just before that statement, It seems that he's reluctantly rejecting that idea. |

Define religion, and how it differs from a subject such as history. Anything is possible, but not everything is probable. Would you bother to consider the ramblings of a 2,000 year old society that believed in leprechauns and unicorns? When it comes to existing "outside time and space" (which I believe is in direct conflict with the definition of 'existing'), there are an infinite number of possibilities. It is an absolute waste of time to ponder things that simply aren't falsifiable. Any concept that has been designed to be instinctively undetectable should be ignored. |

Something that is inherently unknowable should be regarded as such, and any assertions made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. Wishful thinking doesn't make things true, and the truth is all we should be concerned about because it is the only thing that can correctly justify the morality of our choices. My morals are not a religion, because my morals have reasons, and religion is by definition faith-based (or 'belief without reason or evidence'). Empathy is a natural evolutionary survival trait. Those without empathy didn't cooperate and thus had a lower chance of surviving. The most terrifying thing about religion is how infallible it must assert itself to be. Valid information should allow us to refine our morality, but when it conflicts with ideology, people who subscribe to it end up denying facts. I am entirely convinced that such irrationality is the source of all evil in the world. |

| I'm going to have to agree with ackj, I don't think they were serious about this song. I'm pretty sure its a joke, poking fun at emo crap. | |

this is most definately wrong, but just to look at it under a different light.. what if this song is about like nuclear fallout? it makes sense, kind of. Listen to it with that mind-set and it seems like it. |

| A Perfect Circle – Blue Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| This song is about a family that didn't acknowledge when one of them died. They don't mourn or have sorrow; they just ignore her death even though they loved her. | |
| A Perfect Circle – Judith Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| This song is about Maynard's mother. She was all mega-religious and helped so many people and she was paralyzed and died when he was about 8, so he's saying fuck your god, its not like you killed someone.. etc. | |
