| Streetlight Manifesto – Down Down Down to Mephisto's Cafe Lyrics

So I read a comment that said Tomas announced in concert that this song was about Scientology and one that said he said this song was about hell. When I saw them, he opened up this song by saying it's about the freedom to choose your own religion. With that theme in mind - that being the first time I had ever heard it, playing it months before the album's release - I've always took it more as a request for religious people (as well as atheists) to have an open mind about the beliefs of others. He believes that, because God, or godlessness, is invisible and ultimately decided upon by conjecture and emotion, both sides presenting evidence for their beliefs, any person has just as much a chance of being right as he does being wrong. But Tomas also believes that the ambiguity of religious thought is fact, hence the last line of the final verse. |

I love artists that can play the role of somebody other than themselves. Mason is singing from the perspective of a girl that is in love with a man and daydreaming about their married life together. |
