So much pain to ease my simple mind
No hope - I've been crucified
And no one seems to care
(Don't you feel like a bitch)
(Don't promise shit you'll never be)
(Don't you feel like a bitch)
(Don't promise shit you'll never be)
The first time I knew you lied
I ended up crucified
My hate you wear for my cross you bear
It's for me I swear
What's with you
You leech off my desire
A faceless name
So untrue you're wasting away
(Don't you feel like a,)
(Don't you feel like a,)
(Don't you feel like a shit)
(Don't promise shit you'll never be)
It sounds like Lajon is talking about a single person or group taking the music he has created hence
"You leech off my desire"
They, also, sound like they are making empty promises to make themselves better...like some of the people in the industry do to save their careers or at least that's what it sounds like to me.
Could have some religious meaning - i.e. the title for one, and "my hate you wear for my cross you bear". That line to me says the cross of christ is a symbol of hate and suffering, which i would agree with, but i doubt that is it because if i remember right all the members thank god in the Animosity cd booklet. I still see a religious meaning to the song though...but that's just how it comes through to me, any way, the song fuckin rules.
I think that the the image of a crucifixion is just supposed to symbolize someone's suffering caused by someone else who's used them, not necessarily having any religious meaning to this instance.
A crucifixion wasn't anything special for Jesus, it was just a regular form of punishment at that time for the worst criminals as it was the most painful and torturing punishment they could think of. That's why I don't think it has to be religious, but that's just me...
A quick correction The first time I knew you lied I ended up crucified My hate you wear for 'your' cross 'I' bear It's for me I swear
Just kind of bugs me when lyrics are wrong. This is a great song.
this song to me is about a break-up that doesnt make any sense, like a woman crucifying him for his love, she lies to him and what not, see the picture now
I love this song...and I agree with eddog...I don't think there is a strait-forward religious connection...I think he's just talking about how he was just sent to torture after realizing for the first time that the one he loved....was never true to him...and destroyed him from the inside out...
I'll tell you one thing right now and thats,that this song has nothing to do with religion...this song means: that he's been hurt by the one he loves..."The first time I knew you lied, I ended up Crucified" means: that he was hurt when he found out she lied to him for the first time..."No hope-I've been crucified, and no one seems to care" means: that he's hurt because, he has no more hope for his loved one, and that no one seems to care how he feels, and that he's hurt.
I'm not positive what this song means but my interpretation is a guy probably lajon getting cheated on by some his girlfriend.(Don't you feel like a bitch) (Don't promise shit you'll never be) (Don't you feel like a bitch) (Don't promise shit you'll never be) Maybe these are his inner thoughts after finding out he has been cheated on. Crucified might be a metaphor for the pain this person has caused him.
To me, this song is talking about a break up. The girl will lie (willingly or not) by telling him that she loves him and this and that, but when it comes down to it, she wont act as she talks. I think I am going through a very similar break up as the singer as multiple songs could support this situation.
It's about being used. I know this feeling all too well.
