I feel this song is very anti-religious, much some of the other songs on the album. It's in the air you breathe and it's also in the water, It's something you can't see, you've been warned of by your mothers. - I believe this is revering to god/Satan. Saying that they don't know it exists. But they are told that it does. You've had enough deceit, You know enough to see. Join the others When you could hardly breathe, you were wondering why you bothered - Wondering why the people weren't doubting their religion like you were. And they gave us seven days to renounce our wicked ways Too late to make amends because we both know how this ends - The response of those who felt he did the wrong thing doubting his religion. o do the right thing or do nothing (What will you do when they come for you?) Or just do what is easier (What will you do when they come for you?) That is what I read what I swear they said to me! Nine times out of ten they lied to me, And after all they had the gall to say, "Son, no one will save you now" We want it, they got it! They claim we'll die without it, But something tells me they are wrong. - saying that they lied to him before, so why should he believe that without belief in god he will go to hell. So what will you do when they call your name, and you're not ready to go? Everyone will stare at you and tell you what you know. - Saying that when people criticize his atheist beliefs everyone will doubt your beliefs and try and force their opinions on them. |

I believe over all the song is about Tom giving up in his faith of god, and how he realizes that he can still have the morals that his religion is trying to convey without being religious. And all the things you say, they only give you away Because you're on the same level that you were that day - This talking about those who are good people only because they fear god instead of doing good deeds to make some one else's life better. |
