| The Dillinger Escape Plan – Crossburner Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
I sense an existential conflict here, a constant theme in Greg's lyrics. Specifically, the internal restlessness that comes from having explored Christianity as an escape from one's own chaotic mind, only to find out there's not a place for them in that world either... Turn your boat you stowaway It’s better there here’s not okay I’m sorry it’s so far away You break your back for little things Like compliments and wedding rings I hate that little song you sing That song you sing I think the word It's is actually wound like "what's better here..." To me, this means the feeling of confusion and frustration that comes from realizing all that you've come to know is better for you in this world is not ok in the eyes of God. Furthermore, the perspective of God that sees us toiling for our own little comforts that we see as so important which to him he hates and means nothing. Maybe Im projecting my own experiences into the song, thru that lens it makes perfect sense to me. |
