Brand New – Play Crack the Sky Lyrics 11 years ago
Jesse said in an interview that the title comes from something that happened when he was helping set up small local shows and things for cash with John Nolan years and years ago. (Maybe even before Brand New?) An old Christian metal singer for a band they used to like was playing with his new adult contemporary band and John recognized him, so from across the parking lot (I think the show was in a parking lot from what I can remember from the interview) John screamed "PLAY CRACK THE SKY!" Crack the Sky was one of the Christian metal band's songs. The guy was embarrassed because he was past that part of his life then. It's a really funny story if you want to look it up on Youtube.

Brand New – Jesus Christ Lyrics 11 years ago
My interpretation of this song is it is clearly about someone who is very depressed, and has finally reached the apex of it, so its sort of like a cry for help. It does use God as an example in some parts, but the song is not explicitly about God.

Another interpretation is that this song was made to sort of scare em away, "I am heaven sent. Don't you dare forget." is like a "back off, get out of the way."

Unless it hadn't blown over. I don't know.

My interpretation of the line "this is the way you wish your voice sounds, handsome and smart..." is that it is another jab at Taking Back Sunday, even though at the point this song was made the whole thing had blown over. Just a thought.
