| Dance Gavin Dance – Strawberry Swisher Pt 3 Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I think this song is a very pessimistic view on religion. "I was raised to believe All that I read Fall in line with me It's all, all that I see" - Raised to be religious, "all that I see" makes the person seem brainwashed "Got a box of lies Gonna get you high With the words of wisdom that you need to hear" - Priests etc. make you feel better with their talk of enlightenment that the speaker feels is all lies. "Got a big ass book And I'm not a crook But I'll take your guilt in the form of dollars" - Churches often ask for donations in exchange for guilt of sins in a way "Keep my fingers crossed I wanna be somewhere that I belong Never mind how I got there" - How the speaker views most modern religious people, that they want to go somewhere (heaven?), but do not want to do what it takes to earn it Anyway that's what I got out of it, but I'm a little biased being an atheist. It is a really good and clever song. And just so this comment doesn't start a huge debate, I have no problem with religion. |
