| The Sound of Animals Fighting – The Heretic Lyrics

this song is about the search for god. "remember your flesh" is a cry out to God to remember his earthly flesh (jesus christ, his son, or Himself in human form). "they'll salt his wounds" (the wounds he received during his crucifixion) if burning the flesh (salt burns when applied to open wounds, and they would salt wounds when they buried the dead in those days) if that meant jesus' death would help man find God (remember he died for our sins and gave us God's grace). But now, there is all this carnage in the world ("what carnage you've left") and Jesus is long dead ("you are/were dead"). "Our souls unrest" means that now we are waiting for God again, in human flesh (His second coming), because He is becoming less apparent in our world full of carnage and our faith is bleeding ("it's starting to bleed," the opening line). "I've started again/to miss your hand" means that we miss His (God's) hand, His saving grace in our world. We are all "heretics" by saying that God has left us nothing but carnage, and so we are willing to burn our own flesh (sacrifice OURSELVES) if it means that He will come back to us. |

i agree this song is ridiculously annoying and an unnecessary "caboose" track because "the heretic" (the best song on the whole album) would have been the perfect ending. however, the lyrics of this song justify the madness of the whole cd and it's a crazy little way to cap off a crazy cd. i agree that it could be done without, but nonetheless, it's there and should be appreciated because the artists obviously put it there for a reason |

this song seems like it's a prelude to "I Write Sins Not Tragedies". "I Write Sins..." is about a wedding, right? So this is like the bachelor party...to me...hence, "I wouldn't be caught dead in this place" |

sorry, but one more...the "she" who "never fixes this, but at least she makes me forget" is a referrence to Brandy Alexander, Queen Supreme, who, though she can't fix the main character's face, still treats her with respect and at least helps her forget her troubles |

oh, and also, the "cut above all the rest" and "sick and sad patients on first name basis with all the top physicians" is alluding to the center where Brandy Alexander and the main character's "dead" brother got their sex change operations (a "cut" above, hint hint) and they get so many operations they're on "first name basis..." |

Honestly I think this song is, like "It's Time To Dance," an allusion to Invisible Monsters as well, because think about it... "the hospice" is the place where the main character's "dead" brother was sent when he first contracted gonorrhea, "I am alone in this bed, house, and head" is alluding to the main character's solitude - her being an invisible monster - and god calling in is a referrence to her waiting for Him to come and save her but he doesn't pull through |
