| Killing Joke – The Death And Resurrection Show Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| I as many heard this song from NFS:U2, and it\'s one of the few tracks from the soundtrack that I didn\'t save until today. It isn\'t much my style but it did grow on me. I was really curious as to what the general meaning of it was intended to be, so I landed on this page. While listening and reading multiple different interpretations, I came to a conclusion on my own interpretation.\n\nTo me, without any knowledge on this band or its members, the vibe I got from it was that they\'re trying to convey the feelings of chaos and helplessness that are caused by religion. Namely by the myriads of religions that are out there, all claiming to be the answer, and offering you a paralyzing amount of fear if you don\'t (usually perfectly) adhere to what they claim or believe is the answer. It seems like, to me, this song is highlighting the immense pressure people are put under to choose a religion and hope it will save them, especially as they come closer to their death.\n\n"Notions of myself that I\'m not, whoever I was is now lost"\nIt also seems that they allude to the idea of how religion can strip people of who they are; their identity, individuality, personality, freedom, happiness, etc.\nIt\'s possible that the line saying "Illumination" right after this is said in a sarcastic sense, as to say that once you finally make it to what they would call \'illumination\', you\'ve completely lost who you were.\n\nThis is all complete theory based on my first impressions when paying attention to this song lyrically. | |
