hey dudes! You're may all hate me for having an indepth Christian view of this song :P but I don't mind. "Out From Under" seems to be written concerning the crucifixion of Jesus. This song is arguably the darkest song on the album; if it is written on the crucifixion of Jesus, it is written from Jesus' perspective. Now, I'll pile up the evidence :P "Now tell me where were you when everything fell down like thunder... I begged you to pull me through, I gotta get Out from Under." This chorus is focused on abandonment. Jesus cried out on the cross, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" which symbolises a similar thing. Now, where it gets interesting :P "Cut me I bleed, feel me in need, I finally broke in the pressure." Jesus was flogged before being crucified, which requires a lot of bleeding and scarring. The "pressure," that the song keeps coming back to seems to suggests the Spiritual pain that Jesus felt on the cross, which led to his death. This seems likely, because in the end, the song doesn't get any better, and the singer keeps screaming, "Pressure!" as if the singer really has died. "I took the fall, I took it all, last night was just an illusion." The night before Jesus was crucified he begged God to take away the suffering he was about to endure. The "illusion" was that God would take the suffering away; Jesus knew that he would have to bear it to the end: "Yet not as I will, but as you will." Christian doctrine believes that Jesus took all sin, and this requires a "fall" away from God. The title itself, "Out from Under," seems to be a desire for escaping death, or, resurrecting. |
