okay this is probably my fav all time TDWP song because any song where Mike is downright ruthless appeals to me. Mike is often very metaphorical with his lines, but there is one line in this song that really stands out to me as very blatant. "False statements fall to the feet of dead gods" My interpretation of this is that if your lie(making a false statement) it falls to the feet of dead gods, which is downright paganism. This is a very general and blanketing statement because it can apply to many many things. If we are applying this to scientolgy, he is saying that by practicing and preaching scientolgy, it is all false and it is basically pagan, which is punishable by god. I also believe he is making a general statement to anyone and everyone(and society as a whole)especially the artificial christians that mike frequently targets, if you lie and make false statements, you are sinning, you are going against the word of god, and your words will not be heard by the real god, but by "dead gods". There are definitely jabs at scientolgy but i think it is a diagnosis of society as a whole and the way most people have gotten away from "the roots", most christians included. Society has become very self-centered and self-interested, thus "pride is a trend that is far past swollen". He believes people can do better,"its disheartening because i know that we are capable of vision", and if we all went back to the roots the world would be a better place. That is what really makes a person. All things aesthetic and all possessions of luxury and fashion etc will not save you and they will not make you, they are just the branches and the roots are the soul, "and its branches will be broken." and he wants gravity to teach him the ways of retaliation so he can bring everyone with their heads in the clouds in the branches back down to earth. back down to the roots. ive been trying to understand "death through windows" for a while so if anyone has ideas id like to hear them |
