I think the key to this song is a phrase which appeared in an earlier version, performed live and recorded pre-Murmur:"Incest on parade" |

The return of the Great American Rock-n-Roll Band! Hyperbole aside, I can't shake the feeling that song is about overcoming religious guilt. I went to a lot of religious summer camps when I was a kid and there would invariably be lots of kids having religious epiphanies about Jesus and "getting saved". (He's alive, he's alive!) This song seems to celebrate those of us who survived that fundamentlist trap. "Now there’s nothing dark and there’s nothing weird.Don’t be afraid." Be yourself. |
