Paralyzing Kings

I think this song is about somebody who either screwed somebody over while not being in a healthy state of mind, or was screwed over himself by somebody close.

I'm suprised nobody has posted here. This is a great song and one of my favorites of "10 Years" Now to the meaning.

I feel like this song is about losing and gaining power. That's what this song means to me. It will have different meanings for everyone though.

To me this song seems to be about trying not to sin

"remorse for amnesia" I always though he was saying "remorsefull Amnesia" which I took to mean something you felt so bad about you chose to forget it even happend. Again sounds like temptation, having trouble resisting something you know you shouldnt do.

Pharisees = Hypocritical in the Bible. I heard a quote from Hasek saying this is about putting your faith in someone who is a hypocrite in the first place.

This givws the meaning for all the songs

this one is about a personal matter for the lead singer

NO NO NO NO NO !!!!!!!!!!

Its about the crucifiction folks. read it again.

The first 4 lines-Jusus being whipped. Next 4 lines-view of the people doing, amd condoning this. Rightous pharisses---the pharissis silent movements were to put the blame on ceazar so the church would not be blamed and ceazar "washed" his hands. silent movements=nobody to blame. They acted absent mindedly, businesslike almost.The movements reinjuring god was like not only are you going to kill me but you wont be open about it---huh, that must mean its wrong...could be?

Briding a widow in spite of her venom---the crucifiction was also seen as a miarrage betweeh Jusus and the earth, which is seen as a female entity. Even though the earth was corrupt, he did it anyways, sacraficed himself.

So close to healing the weak---if jesus could have lived forever as a person, he could save us all easy, but he had to give us the choice to do what we want, and that wasnt easy for jusus to like.

And then it changes to WE are so self rightous-we are no different than those people then, they are not any less corrupt than we are, saten has just found a way to make sin look les drastic)

GET IT NOW?!?!?! Read it again now, youll see.

Personally, this song means all of that and so much more. I love Ten Year's lyrics because it's one of the few band where I stuggle with the meaning. They add so much detail and it still remains vauge. Honestly, every song of theirs has a seperate meaning in every line...

serenity i believe whats in tht interview

which says:

"The lyrics are very weird. I wanted to write some off-the-wall lyrics. It really won't make sense to anyone, because it's a very personal thing and I meant to write it that way. But to sum it up, it's about being hypocritical. That's why it uses the term "the Pharisees," because Pharisees is Biblical, but if you look it up it [also means] a Pharisee is a hypocrite. And it's about someone putting their trust and faith in another person and finding out that t hey're a hypocrite; what their actions are is totally different from what's coming out of their mouth."

but i see where u first got tht thought just because it says pharisee

you guys are ENTIRELY wrong.

i saw 10 years a few weeks ago and i was praying they would play this song cuz it's my fav. so they did and before going into it jesse explained what it's about. it has to do with him getting drunk and messing around with his buddy's gf. weird right?? sounds like something blink 182 would right but that's what he said. i forget the name of the alcohol he kept mentioning but that's what it's about.
