An Easy Belief Lyrics
They say we live on the eye of god
Progress is cateract
And our possessions are dust on the lens
Everyone's depraved
The beautiful colors married the thought of losing each other
An easy belief to marry the thought of living forever
What good does it do to preach
When the choir's groan is deafening?
I've got the good book open, too
But I'm reading different words than you
The beautiful colors married the thought of losing each other
An easy belief to marry the thought of living forever
The beautiful colors married the thought
An easy belief to marry the thought
Of living forever
Put your faith in something special
Lose yourself in new prescriptions
Put your faith in something special
Lose yourself in new prescriptions
Are you happy where you are in life?
Are you happy where you are?
Are you happy where you are in life?
Are you happy where you are?
The beautiful colors married the thought of losing each other
An easy belief to marry the thought of living forever
Beautiful colors
Easy belief
Living forever
Living forever
Progress is cateract
And our possessions are dust on the lens
Everyone's depraved
An easy belief to marry the thought of living forever
When the choir's groan is deafening?
I've got the good book open, too
But I'm reading different words than you
An easy belief to marry the thought of living forever
An easy belief to marry the thought
Of living forever
Lose yourself in new prescriptions
Put your faith in something special
Lose yourself in new prescriptions
Are you happy where you are?
Are you happy where you are in life?
Are you happy where you are?
An easy belief to marry the thought of living forever
Beautiful colors
Easy belief
Living forever
Living forever

This song is beautiful :) It's about religion and the centers on marriage. People get married and it's so easy to think you can be with that person forever because of marriage (including the after-life) or it's easy to just marry someone and assume that once you die you are separated for life.
He's discussing the differences in opinion and how people see different things and interpret different things in religion.
I absolutely love this song and Paper Rival. It's a shame they are gone :(
I agree that this song is beautiful, but I'd have to disagree partially with your opinion of the meaning.

While it is agreeable that the song is about religion, it is more or less IMO not about marriage but, based on the blind content that is received upon accepting the idea of going to heaven.

The band references 'beautiful colors' marrying the thought of losing each other, which is an interesting idea, because all of the beautiful colors, or complex colors, are made up of primary colors... so if a beautiful color was to lose another color, it wouldn't be...

In my opinion, that part is before the second line, because it sets up the idea that the band isn't really talking about colors, but the concept of a flawed logical perception of reality. The next line says basically that its easy to believe that you'll live forever, implying it is much harder to accept the fact there is no known existence of an afterlife, and that you may possibly cease to exist after death.
I think that is further reinforced by the melodic repetition of "put your faith in something special, lose yourself in new prescription", which IMO implies that either it is a reasonable plea from the band to people who've become content in their state of mind when dealing with the idea of the after life, and they are asking to find something special to believe in, and not just something easy, and the prescription part would imply, if that was the case, that there is an illness of the mind that should be treated, or the other possible meaning is the opposite, that it is an attempt to mock the ones who've become content with the idea of an afterlife.
I would say that its most likely a plea to reconsider the idea, as the next melodic sequience asks, are you happy where you are in life?
Its sort of a, IMO, "I've seen the truth, and was like you, but please wake up, friend, song".
i've absolutely no problem with losing myself in prescriptions.
