The song is pretty clearly anti-religion to some extent, though, D33PPURPLE. I don't quite know where you're getting that the song is about "someone who is bitter, and lived through a nightmare." I don't see any lyrical examples in the song to suggest this. But I also don't think the song is just about "ridiculousness of the assertion of God (and his loving nature)." It's always struck me that Tweedy is merely objecting to this idea that people use the abstract concept of "God's love" to feel better about themselves for whatever turmoil going on in their lives, regardless of how they behave otherwise. Or maybe, he's just complaining because he doesn't find the idea of "God's love" comforting the way other people do... that it seems too random/nonsensical or whatever. |
