| Conor Oberst – Big Black Nothing Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I think this song is about radical religious people. The big black nothing is religion. "big black nothing, foolin' everyone. Big black nothing, put a halo around what you've done" - is saying that people are fooling themselves into thinking the radical and bad things they do are in the name of religion. The part about still being friends is the singer asking if the religious people would still talk to him if they knew he thought everything was just pretend and all fake. And the 'apocalypse' isn't really the end. "... was made to appeal." - religion was just made to appeal to people and make them have something to believe in, but it's not real. He is saying how scared he is of the people for believing in all of this: what would they do to prove their religion is the right one? So, he is hiding from it because he doesn't want to be sucked in. |
