Massive Bereavement Lyrics
It is __
Take control
All that was need, seething, teething
Take one more
It is growing
We were searching for a truth that was there all along
Little snarling little creeps will be the words to this song
That righteous indignation dollar turning you on,
Turn off the television (x2)
All that was need, seething teething
Take one more
He is growing
God looks on
He is growing
God looks on (x2)
What a way to go
I’m still running for a bus that we missed years ago
A perfect antidote
More connections made
It’s inevitable
He was reaching out to touch me (x2)
He was
He was reaching out to touch me (x2)
He was reaching
It’s like joking, joking, choking
...
And never changing colour
You went a mile
Still invincible
And screaming out to the world
That you're wrong
You're so wrong
And I was reaching out to touch him (x2)
I was
And I was reaching out to touch him (x2)
I was reaching
It’s like joking, joking, choking
Is this not what you expected? (x4)
Now (x4)
Take control
Take one more
Little snarling little creeps will be the words to this song
That righteous indignation dollar turning you on,
Turn off the television (x2)
Take one more
God looks on
He is growing
I’m still running for a bus that we missed years ago
A perfect antidote
More connections made
It’s inevitable
He was
He was reaching
And never changing colour
You went a mile
And screaming out to the world
That you're wrong
You're so wrong
I was
I was reaching
Now (x4)

I believe this is about the death of Bill Hicks. 'billy's worries' 'righteous indignation dollar' 'turn off the television' 'he is growing, god looks on'... plus the band are all fans of his... seems obvious to me.
you hit the nail on the head, i ddn think anyone would see it
you hit the nail on the head, i ddn think anyone would see it
especially the hes not joking part made it pretty obvious to me

This is one of the more depressing tunes I've heard. The music is beyond merely sorrowful; it's haunting, desparate, and surreal. Love the phrase "still running for a bus that we missed years ago."
massive bereavement.. separating us from our home. the world's disconnection from everything we're searching for. it's right in front of us, yet we keep doubting it. but as more and more of us come to realizations of truth, god's energy is coming back.
The lines "He was reaching out to touch me" and "I was reaching out to touch him" makes me think of Michaelangelo's painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. This song makes me think of God creating Adam, sending him to live on earth and then Adam finds that his paradise isn't so perfect after all, of course after sin was committed. Just my take on it though. I'm just getting familiar with this song and it's my initial interpretation. I kinda expect it to change soon though.
I believe what I've said is kinda in line with xen0nex's comments too.
it may be a coincidence but 'massive bereavement' is the name of one of the horses that Alan Partridge comments on in episode 2 of The Day Today.
