We'll Never Know Lyrics
Hey you I got something you need
the secrets gonna set you free
and everything you think you know it ain't nothin'
the sacred truth from the holy light
the day break from the darkest night
when all the wandering souls are looking for somthin'
(chorus)
I'll say real it slow
(for god sake now you gotta believe)
what you gotta know
(the wisdoms gonna set you free)
the dawns early light
(gods son and the holy light)
decided to show
(your beacon through the darkest night)
we've all been decieved
(not now but some day you'll see)
you better believe
(what it is to believe)
that we'll never know!
the star, cross, and the crescent sign
the reason that we pray at night
when you lose your nerve
you know that you gotta serve someone
a prophet or a sacred cow
you know it doesn't matter now
pick one of the above
it's better than bowin' to no one
(chorus)
cause in the end you'll see
it's not really what you believe
the only one sure thing
is that life's filled with uncertainty
and then the truth could be that life's just one big joke
but we'll never know
we'll never know
the secrets gonna set you free
and everything you think you know it ain't nothin'
the sacred truth from the holy light
the day break from the darkest night
when all the wandering souls are looking for somthin'
I'll say real it slow
(for god sake now you gotta believe)
what you gotta know
(the wisdoms gonna set you free)
the dawns early light
(gods son and the holy light)
decided to show
(your beacon through the darkest night)
we've all been decieved
(not now but some day you'll see)
you better believe
(what it is to believe)
that we'll never know!
the reason that we pray at night
when you lose your nerve
you know that you gotta serve someone
a prophet or a sacred cow
you know it doesn't matter now
pick one of the above
it's better than bowin' to no one
cause in the end you'll see
it's not really what you believe
the only one sure thing
is that life's filled with uncertainty
and then the truth could be that life's just one big joke
but we'll never know

I love this song, it's saying that no one really knows what the truth is and that religions are like easy way outs, even though they are lies. My favorite line is "you know that you gotta serve someone a prophet or a sacred cow you know it doesn't matter now pick one of the above it's better than bowin' to no one"
Indirectly refers to their song "Salvation" off of "From the Ashes," since that song also discusses the ideas of seeing and believing (plus "reason"). Also, the first couplet reminds me of their song "The Secret" off of their selftitled CD.
I think that this song leaves possibilities open, it is not sure of religion or anti-religion. If life isn't one big joke, many people could be in trouble, especially if it does matter then what religion they are in the end (whereas in life, "you KNOW it doesn't matter now;" in the afterlife, "we'll never know"). I wonder why they switch from "YOU know" to "WE'LL never know."
This song also brings to mind Pascal's Wager, a simple philosophical argument from mathematician Blaise Pascal (we all encountered him in high school math), which deals with the idea that we'll never know. However, since we don't know, he maintains that belief in God is the most logical way to self-preserve, since if one lives a godly life, but it turns out there is no god, he will have lived a good life and it won't matter. Whereas if someone rejects God and lives a life without God, but it turns out that He does exist, then that person will be damned forever.
We'll never know the meaning of life. That's it
