i like the drum echo opening. just read the poem by Charles Bukowski. wow. that's deep my thoughts on the the song: i see it as a man, the singer or not, who as fallen and has lost faith in everything("Oh dear God, I think he fell" and "Father you're too late My faith is weak"). not just religion("So won't you save your half-hearted speech.") or God(""Son, we're going to get through this one take my hand and let us pray..." I scream, "Please get the fuck away."") but in life. this resulted in his death. the whole thing with william tell and being shot to hell, i see as his complete lack of faith. according to some christians hell is a place without God, faith or hope. also i find the line "Like a cross turned upside down" interesting because st. peter was crucified upside down(historical fact, i study history). so if you only know pop-culture then it looks like a sign of satanism, but it could also be a reference to someone whose faith was strong. the line maybe a sign of hope or loss. it's just basic look at the surface of the song. i liked the song because it's different from most of their songs. quick blurb on faith. it's only those with out faith that are truly lost. a man (women too for the PC crowd) must have faith in something. God, humanity, science, another person, or just this life. for me i put it in God because i've been hurt by people that i've put my faith in. and when it comes to God he only time he lets me down is when i stop thinking, focusing on him. someone once told me that "keep the faith" was another way of saying "fake it until you make it". either way i take it as dont give up just yet. so keep the faith! sorry i may have gotten carried away. |
