Okay first of all the name of the band is Lamb Of God right? which obviously means they have the full right to discuss about Jesus right? Now as far as the lyrics go, one thing is for sure that only Jesus himself can interpret the song in the correct way. This is why Lamb Of God write such complicated lyrics that are hard to grasp. Okay now my interpretation of the song line by line. "I saw the world.............no longer blind." Jesus saw the world through reason and justification but he found the end point and starting point to be nothing. Now he's no longer blind and he can see. "A sick monster.............insides are turning out." Jesus is what he is. He's mighty and unconquerable. He's waiting for the end to come. It starts from nothing and ends with nothing so he's waiting for nothing to begin. "King me is killing me." Jesus' own hate kills him. He knows that he has to go back to his crucifixion after he dies and ends the world. "I keep walking...............a closed book that I can never read again." Now Jesus is reborn and he's walking past all the places he was once born in. All the people have blank faces and for him they are dead. He can't remember anything or anyone he met once before he was alive the same way. 'A Closed Book' is The Bible that he once believed to be true but now he doesn't read it anymore. His insides are tearing out with fear and guilt. "All of that is ending...................no man's slave." Now if he dies the world ends and he is arisen. He is trying to live and fight his way out with fear and the thoughts that eat him up like insects. He is an insomniac and cannot sleep anymore because he thinks too much. He is no man's slave because he was only treated as shit. "I wanted the fog..................for all to see." He was lost and confused and for a long while he was unaware that he was Jesus. Nostalgia is grinding his life and he cannot enjoy his moments. His present always dies thinking about his future. Thinking how he's bleeding to death for all to see. How he expects that he won't turn out to be his own worst enemy. |
