The song seems more inclined towards a struggle with depression/inner anger, moreso than anything else. Typically as a pensive individual, without a way to vent that feels proper, everything builds up inward and occasionally people build walls or shells to hide away. People could try to help, but typically the mood tends to break down exactly to how the individual is feeling. In terms of this song, after a long time of thinking and brooding behaviour, it affects relationships with friends, family, etc and with that comes the lack of "knowing" who the 'suffering' individual is anymore. They feel boxed in, like no one can help them but themselves. Eventually everything will feel so foreign that everything will lose it's edge as well. The song is really deep, really, really deep. Sean is definetly one of the most talented musicians to come to pass and I hope SES is around for years to come. |

Nah man. The entire song is indeed about bands, nothing really about religion. See, at massive music and entertainment events, the Grammy's, Juno Awards, etc, every single person who goes up on the podium to accept their award praises and thanks "God" or the "Holy Ghost itself" for their "blessing" and helping them get that far. They'll praise their success on that, then the next bit they'll go ahead and screw it all over by selling themselves out as well, changing their style. Then when it comes to the final breakdown, he sings: "Can't believe you're selling out We only bury all the useless We bury all the useless every day" This is a reference to bands and pop stars being there one day, gone the next, because record companies aren't making money off of them/the sellouts and just bury their careers. |
