I first thought it was about some drug trip. The spoken part in it is from a video in the 50's I think, about a study on the effects of LSD on people. The snippets is the woman under the influence trying to describe her trip and what she sees. And it all makes sense, I guess you can feel some of those things in a trip but then I found that in the bridge where it does sound like he says "It's no good" or "It's hopeless" is actually backwords and it actually says "And wonder, and wonder, wonder what they mean". And I begin to wonder what he actually means. Then I think it really diverges into two ways: the trip is making him like this, all what does it mean and stuff, or this isn't about a trip but about something just simply psychological like paranoia or some hallucinatory thing "This crippled reality Untangible fantasies Can't be" I lean more towards the drug trip, but that's what I got out of this. |

Relating to the fact that this is a Christian band. I think this is about how the Christian society is seen or is expected to be seen as. Strict, religious-crazed, orderly: "They pull you faster the gate is calling/ and you'll never fall behind/ so choose a face you're only calling out/ you musn't fall behind" I agree on some of the angel/demon suggestions before. On one side of the song it says how "you need the danger" "need to die" "need the knife" "need the pain". It shows the...how to explain it...personal struggle. On the other hand it shows these lines: "You need another death just to have a life to save/ You need a master just so you can beg/ you need a light just because you're so afraid/ now bow and learn to be a good slave" CHRISTIANS, CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG. I'm guessing it's suggesting towards a false prophet and how people follow? "Need another death just to have a life to save" hinting another Jesus? "Master just so you can beg" A godly figure? "Need a light just because you're so afraid" Some light, some significance towards something (one, being, etc.) to make you feel better? "Now bow and learn to be a good slave" Suggesting that the other godly figure is just a hoax just to trap you in more...pain? Or it could suggest back to the first lines I pointed out. Maybe all those physical needs are metaphorical? Meaning you need to..."see to believe"? Except in this case, feel to believe? Then finding some false belief in something that you think can save you and not God? All the same, claiming you believe in that God you reject? Keeping the formalities, the appearances, for the world? But instead wake up and find what is true? The machine, is it the world, society? My conclusions: The Machine is the everyday toil that tells us what is right and wrong. They say that God is the only right and you should behave in total respect to god. You reject God and follow this belief in pain (physical or metaphorical) yet keep a face for the machine. Sleep, says the "lies" and then Wake Up to the reality in which the song wants you to realize is that the machine is wrong, you don't have to be all bible banging, reserved turtleneck wearer [no diss to the turtleneck] who spends all day and all night in church to show your love for God, and that the belief in what you've been following (that's not God) is a part of the machine's lies (on account of the machine still being the world, part of the world shows you different, false gods), hence: wake up and kill the machine = realize and disregard world/society/etc. Again, this is from a perspective that includes the fact that this band is Christian. This song, to a personal level, has such a different meaning. I love this song. |
