I think the song is saying that no matter what you believe, you're going to die as an unbeliever in something. For example, I'm a Christian and when I die, I'll be known as an unbeliever to my Muslim friends. I forget where I read the interview, but Ezra said something to the effect that the song is all about how there's so many different divisive groups and how he'd like to see a little unity. It's not necessarily religious, but it's definitely got religious influences with verses like, "If I'm born again, the world will disagree." Christians often say that they are not "of this world" and the world would obviously disagree. It's one of my favorite songs and if anyone can find that interview I'm talking about, it'd be greatly appreciated. |
