The Sweetness And The Light

this is my favorite saetia song. and they say the word october. which makes it even more great.

This is the song that made me truly realize what I love about hardcore and emo music. How the hell did Billy Werner write such perfect lyrics?

trying to imagine god is to "big"for us to even dream of(never get close to the realt hing)instead, imagine humans. easier isnt it?

It seems as if Billy is saying that we, ourselves, created a god, a diety. But we cannot credit ourselves with the creation of this god, because it's impossible that us, measley humans, can build something so intricate, that we just don't and can't understand it. "Out from oil, out from marble, out from sound" We've painted, carved, and read, to our peers, children, and lovers our works over the years, but still, we haven't realized that the comfort of a greater being just lies in our own words.

This is my favorite song ever.

I agree with removeyourteeth. This seems to be about people creating their own gods through their art. It seems to me like a retrospective look though. That they themselves have created their own deities as well and are sort of taken back upon noticing it.

I love the total Cap'n Jazz worship.

its an awsum song. there not harcore/emo. there early scremo tht was considered back then hardcore

removeyourteeth, that was beautifully worded. I could not have done a better job myself.

"We've painted, carved, and read, to our peers, children, and lovers our works over the years, but still, we haven't realized that the comfort of a greater being just lies in our own words."

Thank you for your input. It has made this song mean a lot more to me.

It's apparently about what qualifies something as art, art is something used as a retrospect of the human condition versus advertisement used to sell a product.
