| That's a very good take on the song, I'd have to agree with you. And Kastelorizo, no, every song has a meaning....go listen to pop music, I'm sure you'd love their blatant messages. | |

| Christianity and Catholicism are in fact two different religions. I don't think this song is about that though... | |
| The Color Morale – Demon Teeth Lyrics | 14 years ago |

I feel the beginning of the song, "Twenty something years of seclusion, seems to be quite enough. Just get me out of this town. It's like a dried up, lake full of debris and I am starting to drown', is all about the person existing in not just a 'town', but maybe life itself, seeing as the following verse states 'with all the places I've been'. It gives a sense of a much larger scale of things. "Sometimes I can see clearer through rear view mirrors than windshields, with all the places I've been. How do I find my destination?" He finds it easier to see his past sins / mistakes. He wants to redeem himself, and it's easier to dwell on the past than to see the future of how to be good. "Neither one of us is getting out of the situation alive until the other one dies. And it wont be me. You clench your hold like you clench your teeth. And I will send you back to hell, holding your jaw, like your demon teeth." It's him versus the devil, or his soul against the devil taking it. The devil and sin itself has its teeth clenched into him. The chant/chorus-type part just seems to be saying not to let your ghosts from the past and sins and things you've done run your life and determine your future. The only way to release yourself, is to metaphorically, smash out the teeth that are clenched into you. The following verses are all about how modern day Christianity and other religions teach, in part, from their own personal beliefs and what they have seen/done in life. "I'd rather see a man of God, than hear from one any day of the week", is pretty obvious, not wanting to hear personal opinions, and just to see a man of God would satisfy him. The lines after that are based on biblical references and how Jesus cast out demons from a man and sent them into pigs and the pigs jumped off a cliff. The Color Morale, instead, is saying don't let them jump, let them be a lesson, "(no no no no, just let them teach," is just saying to let them teach how they are wrong instead of letting them die or escape. "Instead of reading the book (I've read the book). Try Meeting The Author (I've met the author). That's my problem, I've had the devil on both sides, with God at the bottom (ughhhh)," pretty self-explanatory, he's got the priest or whoever on his shoulder, and the devil on the other side, and God is nowhere to be found because the priest isn't representing God anymore. "He doesn't pick where he stands, I pick where I place him", really this could represent both God or the devil, picking where to place sin, and where to place God in one's life. |

"It's like nothin’ I can do would distract me when I think of how I shot myself in the back again ‘Cuz from the infinite words I can say I Put all pain you gave to me on display" These lines say it all. He can't distract his mind form the thought of the pain, and shooting himself in the back referrign to how he let's it happen again and again. The part about 'infinite words I can say' is just a filler, it has no real meaning other than what it says. 'Put all the pain on display' clearly meaning showing the anger that he kept inside that was given to him. In the chorus: "You've become a part of me You'll always be right here You've become a part of me You'll always be my fear" 'always be right here' and 'always be my fear' point to abuse of some sort. The fear. Linking this song to girlfriend or boyfriend relationships makes no sense at all because he doesn't mention a single thing about 'love' between two people, or once loving a girl. It's just a song about hatred for becoming like somebody. And the only people who you can become like, are people you see as role models. Lol |

To be honest, every single song that has at least one word that has a small relation to a relationship status, I see every fucking comment saying: "OMG IT'S ABOUT A RELATIONSHIP! IT'S ABOUT A GUY AND A GIRL!" Somebody said it best before when they brought up the abuse situation. To me, the deeper meaning makes me think of kids who are beaten as children, and put down by their parents. They let that anger attach to them, and they hold it inside. They still hold resentment for their parents though.' A very childish song in it's own way, but hardcore enough to get by. |

I would have to strongly argue that it's deeper than just a break-up song. In other words, I'm going with the druggie theory. Take My Heroine for example, oh wait, that points out the connection to this song again lol Notice how a few of their songs are drug related...? =0 SURPRIZE! |

Wow TitoC11 The song is based on the Vietnamese War as laurenmaureen pointed out. And musicians can write about something they have never been through, if they couldn't, music would be pointless. Music is the greatest instrument to express feelings and deep emotions through metaphors or literal stories within songs. Maybe Ronnie's grandfather was in the Viet War, how will you ever know?? This song is simply amazing, it almost made me cry when I first heard it, it has such meaning and beautiful lyrics. Good job on this piece RJA. |
