This song is DEFINITELY sexual. This song describes a number of women I've seen. And no, it's not about the battle to overcome an addiction. This song is about the woman's complete indulgence in the type of degrading sex that she has abhorred all of her life. The show's just started. It will become an addition, and she won't get rid of it in the foreseeable future. And she'll become numb to the sex in very little time. She'll search for an emotional bond, only to have it never fulfilled because of the men that she'll fall for from now on out. So keep in mind that the song's point of view is from the men. Let's go through just a few of the lines: One confession is such perfection, Your sweet repression can't hide who you really are. Every time she admits how great the sex is or moans in pleasure, it's validating what the men in the song are thinking. The men are telling her that she can't hide who she really is (she's a whore). Say you hate it! Doesn't matter 'cause you're all the same! The men say that women are all the same. All women claim to hate sex, but they don't (at least, this is what the men are saying - it's a power play and it's something a number of guys think, unfortunately). All the other women gave in just like she's giving in. Come and get it 'cause we love the shame! The men love the shame (but they're really saying that they love the power they have over her). Just another one to suck the fame! The men are telling her she's just doing it for attention. Stahli uses the word "suck" to really emphasize the sexuality of this song. Again, she's a whore. Don't pretend that you're better than this, Malevolence goes both ways! The men are telling her not to pretend that she's better than being a whore, because after all, she can use her sexuality to get back at men. That's their little lesson for her. Just go through the song line by line. Everything - without exception - can be applied to sex of the nature that I've just described. |

| Blue Stahli – Doubt Lyrics | 14 years ago |

I think that the "I" in this song is turning the "you" from a thiest to an athiest. There are really only two ways to know this for sure. First, the name of the song is doubt. Secondly, and more importantly, there is this verse: i've come to plant the seed of gradual decay swallowing your faith entirely The only time that the thing that's decaying is mentioned is here - and it's your faith. This is supported by ideas like poisoning safety (religion is often a safety net), confidence dying (you were wrong about something as important as religion, so you feel like you know nothing now), the fact that you feel "it" burning (that is, the truth is taking root in you and you're trying to fight it, but you know it's right). Furthermore... Self-sycophant Grotesque arrogance Bursting with shallow conceit All 3 of those ideas above are often associated with those who are religious. Well, to be fair, they're really just associated with anyone who's really, really sure of their position. However, these three lines were said from the position of the "I" in this song. Now, for whatever reason, this "I" is malicious. The "I" is clearly aggressively trying to destroy the other person's faith and is being really harsh about it (this should be obvious). I think that the opening paragraph is really good actually: You'll know when this is done If you comprehend The calculated hate in subtlety The "I" is *extremely* hateful because he's gone through meticulous calculation in order to do what he's done to the "you". It's like the difference between premeditated murder and spur-of-the-moment murder...premeditated murder is much more evil. I'm not really sure what Blue Stahli's position on faith is. The athiest here seems to be correct in his views, but he seems to be malicious and hateful. Of course, for all we know, the religious person is a really bad person too. Stahli mentioned "self-syncophant", "grotesque arrogance", and "shallow conceit" earlier. It's hard to tell who is the good guy and who's the bad guy in this song. That difficulty could be a statement on the inherent badness of humanity regardless of who knows what is actually wrong or right...but then again, maybe I'm starting to dig too deeply. Overall, in my opinion, this is a fantastic song with very well-written lyrics. |

To all of you guys saying it's arrogant/pompous of them to glorify themselves... Did you ever consider that they might have written those things about each other? If that's the case, then of course you'd expect them to compliment one another... |
