Close Your Eyes to See

Actually if you go by what the person said about the new testament then this could actually be something along the lines of God taking so long to come back. Right? But I still believe that these lyrics can be interpretted freely and some lines resemble something that shouldn't be happening.

His lyrics are very hard to understand but i think him and disbeliefs of god and religion.

I am fairly certain of my views on this song:

Anthony is once again expressing his struggles with religion and trusting God.

"When the mirror shatters it’s harder for me to see If there are any answers here we haven’t searched for,"

-he is having trouble with God not being there for him and he has exhausted all effort in looking for an answer to his problem.

"Just type in your code and say a prayer How could it be, we were so secure? cause nothing you’ve ever planned on ever turned out the way you planned"

Everyone else is doing the same, typing in their prayers that seem to go unnoticed. He doesnt understand why something like death has happened to him or his family when everything was perfect. The last two lines explain that all of his prayers and 'plans' were unanswered.

"I tried to say This couldn’t feel more wrong I can’t believe its happening or lasting this long If we know each other then why should it be so hard to make it stop?"

this part is slightly confusing, but IMO i think he means it couldnt feel more wrong that God did this to him and that he has continuously treated him as so for so long. His strong belief in God beforehand was so strong he doesnt understand why God will not stop.

"(this isn’t real, and I feel ashamed that I don’t think that I can heal) It’s a shame that I would pretend before making amends But nothing you’ve ever planned on ever turned out the way you planned You’re still disappointing them."

he says that his beliefs are no longer real and he feels terrible that he can not go back. He feels so strongly now that he would even pretend before giving God another chance. He then reinforced that nothing you ever pray for is answered the way you wanted it to be and that God has once again disappointed you (them).

I am a christian and love this song and still support anthony's views. I am not sure if since this album was created, if the birth of his son's has given him new hope in God, but i hope it has.

okay so im posting this about everyyy song off their new album: THE ALBUM IS ABOUT THE NEW TESTAMENT. theres a different story behind each song start with the sorrowful mysteries =]

seriously why doesn't this have any comments. i love thsi song, and i feel the exact way.

I think this song is about a relationship that shouldn't happen but does. And it goes against what you originally intended to happen. MAybe... that's just what I think. It kind of makes sense for something that's happening to me.

i feel like he is talking about a past relationship that ended on a bad note and both people are refusing to reconcile. it is dragging on and taking much longer and a different route than expected. they are putting on an act pretending to not be afflicted, everyone knows that stage. hence the line "It’s a shame that I would pretend before making amends"

maybe its just about a break up? like they were so deeply in love and everything was going great but one day it just randomly ended?

Idk but my thoughts

i dont think any of the songs on the new cd are about relationships
