The song is actually a conversation between Oli and Satan (Lucifer the Lightbearer). Now, many people get into the idea that song was intended for a singular person (girlfriend, preacher..), however we forget that Satan is an actual person, he's just not human. "No one wants to hear you No one wants to see you So desperate and pathetic I'm begging you to spare me The pleasure of your company" -It's true. If anyone were to truly have the most evil entitity in the universe speaking to them or appearing before them, they'd want him gone. He is often a desperate a pathetic spirit, always trying to bring what he hates (humanity) down. "When did the diamonds leave your bones?" -In Ezekiel 28:12-18, you can find a description of what Lucifer's created intention was and a general description of what he looked like. (He was made of Diamond's and other precious stones). He was made the most powerful and wise of all the angels and was praised before his fall. At the very instant he fell, he became horrifying, ugly and a stain against anything good. He was no longer made of diamond. You're not a shephard, you're just a sheep A combined effort of everyone you meet You're all flesh with no bone. Feed them to the sharks and throw 'em to the wolves! Satan is not a shepherd despite his attempt to look like one and ultimately he is a sheep and his created purpose was to serve God. He attempted to manipulate everything against God (A combined effort of everyone you meet) and prefers to care about everything we as humans shouldn't care about, sin of the flesh (You're all flesh with no bone). (Sins of the flesh refers to any physical stimulus that gives you pleasure, could be murder, sex or drugs and all three at once..). Oli rebukes him and shows his anger towards Satan (Feed them to the sharks and throw 'em to the wolves!) |

| @[alexpaok182:32310] I think you're on the right track. The song uses lyrics that seemingly attack Jesus's divinity and righteousness, however I believe that Oli wouldn't attack Jesus Christ directly. I think the song is meant for a Pastor (who's job is to be a living representation of Christ) who disappointed Oli when trying to convert or preach to him. | |

| Being as this song was written primarily by Clown and me following the man for a few years I think I can safely assume the song really is really simply a reference to Adam and Eve, who chose to eat the forbidden fruit thus choosing to disobey God. This caused the fall of man, which there choice also means that they chose to please themselves (they chose themselves) over choosing to please God. Which means they chose death instead of life. And we all inherited their genes... so death because of death because of YOU. | |
