| Demon Hunter – Less Than Nothing Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I find that this song is about the nihilism and existential angst many face without believing in God (in this case, of course, a version of the Christian God). In a way I see it as a portrayal of how the writer sees life as it would be in the absence of their faith. | |
| Pantera – Heresy Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I think this song is about the affirmation of human dignity , ethics and unity over any ideology, religion, etc. that would seek to compromise human welfare. | |
| Pantera – Slaughtered Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| It's pretty much about organized religion being a big lie, how it generally preys on peoples fears and desires for no real reward, and how having faith in an afterlife ruins the one life we do definitely know we have to live. | |

I think this song is about child abuse, in the sense of parents imposing their beliefs on their child, or indoctrinating them and other such things. The first stanza is perhaps there to illustrate that parents who do this do not actually care for the child's welfare or something. "Too young for ones conclusion, the lifestyle won. Such values you taught your son. That's how. " Indoctrination and forcing a lifestyle on a child is exactly what being "too young for ones conclusion" is, for the child. They haven't decided yet what to do in life, but they've had it forced on them since being only small. The "cliched fact of life" I think, alludes specifically to the way religion feeds on a persons fear of death (note how many religions focus on an afterlife). The rest of that bit, alluding to "warnings" being "leaking rubbers" and "poisoned apples" seems to allude to the way these kind of threats that keep a child following the parent's whim actually mess them up. "Look at me now. I'm broken. Inherit my life. " and the "you" variant of that line show, from the perspective of the child, that living through ones children often happens when the parent's life has not turned out the way they liked, so the child "inherits" it. The "you" that is introduced perhaps shows it as a cycle, that it is the same speaker as the "i'm broken" line, but directed at a new victim--the child's own offspring. Anyways, just my point of view, awesome riff anyways. |
