To me this song is about nihilistically abandoning the values of your society, which you were born into. The end result is you become closer to the natural order which is chaos. May sound a little paradoxical but such forces tend to sway back and forth until an equilibrium is reached. Once that is destroyed, the forces again manifest themselves. Civilization attempts to stop this, and in vain always fails. The nihilist, though, sheds the meaningless moral code, in order to see reality for what it really is. He then establishes healthy values to fill the void and lives a much more natural, realistic life. |

I think what attracted the shooters to this song was the meaning that I always got from it. It's a song about being a lone wolf, a mechanism for change in the world. A heroic individual if you will, in the Romantic sense. An individual who is at odds with the society around him, and his greatest struggle is to transcend those boundaries which are made by the moral code. Once these are transcended, the hero also transcends himself and thus is in a way divine. Change throughout history has not come through the consensus of the crowd, but from timeless individuals who sacrifice their personal comfort for a higher calling. Do not confuse higher calling with some dogmatized Christian concept. It doesn't have to be religious at all, but such a thing is very spiritual. |
