@[varangianguard:15385] I like and agree with your interpretation up until your explanation for the very last line. Considering this song was written in 96, and since he's held Christian, apolitical beliefs throughout most of his life, I highly doubt Chris was attempting a political/religious cheap shot. The addicts, or "little piggies" (animals that will consume anything and are symbolic of self-indulgence), are ultimately consumed by their addictions. They have their brief high, or their "god," so to speak. Or their addiction ultimately leads to their end indicating that they will meet and have God to answer to. I love how in today's world a Liberal (religious or otherwise) can be morally superior to a religious Conservative on the grounds that one has too much money for the other's liking, especially when the Conservative speaks out against drug use, or "judges," too much. But as long as you're one of the Liberal elite, you can claim to be religious, have as much damn money and drugs as you want and judge people and their lifestyles (of which you probably know nothing about) freely without repercussion. In fact, the dishonest media will praise you endlessly. Just don't be a rich, religious Conservative or you're a hypocrite. So says my misinterpretation of both your beliefs and the teachings of your Central Figure. Spare me. |
