| Immortal Technique – The Cause of Death Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Religion doesn't belong to any one person. It can be used different way by different people, for good or bad. MLK and George W both say they are christians :S, i think that says a lot | |

first of all this is a songmeaning forum, not a "how much i love the band/album forum" wow goodbarmr5 i didnt think anyone else but me saw it like that but me. Well i don't agree entirely with you but I think you've come closer then any one to the deeper meaning of the song, at least to me any ways. I also see alot of, for the lack of a better word, religious paralells in this song and most of LP's music. Rather then religion or god, i see the singer talking about more of a higher consiousness that he himself has reached and is now living in.(which can go hand in hand with be religious or godlike). I can see this song sort of being from the point of view of a priest or preacher. "I am, what i want you to want, what i want you to feel. but its like no matter what i do, i can't convince you, to just belive this is real". I see this line as the singer refeering to others who are trying, or the singer is trying to help, to reach the same place but just can't bring themselves to beleive it even exists, and theres nothing the singer can do to make them beleive. "So I,let go watching you, turn your back like you always do, face away and pretend that I'm not, but i'll be here cause you're all that i got" This describes the singer being feedup with the others giving up on him and his pov, but he won't give up on them because he feels he must "show them the light" so to speak. ""'Cause you don't understand, I do what I can But sometimes I don't make sense" Different Religions teach that God's ways are higher then ours and we would never have the intellectual capacity to understand why He does what he does" I see this almost exactly the the same as you goodbarmr5 but i might substitute god for the singer himself. When i forst read your inpretation of "god being a small minded ego maniac that needs us more then we need him" i thought you were way off but now i realize i'd just state it a little diferently. I think that could relate to how a person of higher consciousness,a priest or perhaps god, is lonely due to being isolated by his elevation from everyone else. he may feel he needs to save others by showing them the light, becaues he has no one else and indeed amy need them more then they need him. All that bein said i could be completely wrong, would be nice to hear what the writer of the lyrics intended to mean. either way its nice to hear someone digging deep into the lyrics for once, let me know what you guys think. |
