I think that it's likely that dustin wrote these song lyrics to be relevant on different levels. For certain, these lyrics have a religious connotation, but they also have more personal and even social references. Hey, thrice.net, the word "punk" and its former ideals are a contradiction, so you have no place to spew that tired rhetoric. The Sex Pistols were a boy band put together by a porn-shop owner who was looking to exploit the alienated youth of London, so tell me, who are you or any "secular" person to preach the definition of punk? Really, there is no such thing, it's a state of mind mostly, and a lot of kids outgrow it to become the "corporate drones" they raged against. Conforming nonconformists are the most laughable of the bunch. So pathetic. Why do these punks use the internet to visit these sites when its obvious they are sponsored by corporate juggernauts? |

Although every interpretation is valid, I think the point of the song is that sometimes, no matter how "deep" some of us like to be, one must deliberately dive into ignorance. To me, that is one way to balance myself; trying to think about everything in this world can be overwhelming. Knowing this, it's necessary to forget the conflicts and just be from time to time. I think every interpretation works not only by themselves, but combined to give the poem more depth. |

The song refers to the imperfect nature of man. Like the phoenix, man constantly destroys himself, but never fails to rise out of the ashes to begin anew. Even though perfection will never be ours to know (at least in this life...), we should strive to achieve that state in order to fully live. The speaker infers that underneath all the taint and built-up stain, there lies in us the ability to renew ourselves. |
