This song I feel is about currpt religion and in this case chirstianity. Its about how christianity is just doing it for the money and dont actually have any faith and never actually listening to anything Jesus taught. "But my so called friends they're making me a joke They missed out what I said like I never spoke". And in the 3rd verse he mentions "When Noah built his cadillac it was cool" obviously its supposed to be an ark he built but since the christian faith is just now a money hungry religion Noah's gone for the classy things ie a cadillac. |

Well cant be arsed to read the other posts meh. Well I think obviously its about a man being hung. But theres more to it than that. As he gets closer and closer to actually being hung he starts to lose faith in god. If he begins to lose faith in god it must mean he was wrongly accused for what ever so reason he is being hung for, "Someone calls from a cell "God be with you" If there's a God then why has he let me die?". But as he starts to lose faith in God he also realises its actually not the end of his life but just a start of a new beginning in his life and that although he may be physically dead his spirit is going to live on forever, "When you know that your time is close at hand maybe then you'll begin to understand Life down there is just a strange illusion." As the person means by life down there is that he's actually looking down at everyone as a spirit and thats all I have to say :) |
