Ok, aicguy22. You say you're tired of people of people being naive and thinking that every aic song is about drugs or hating God. Well, you forgot to tell us what you think the song is about.
This song is obviously about Layne lashing out at God. Theres so many references to God it should make the meaning of the song obvious.
Who
Are you
Who can say
It's ok to live through me
Popular Christian belief would have us think that God is everywhere and in everyone and that we must perform Gods work to produce "fruit." In a sense, God is living through us and Staley doesn't seem to aprove.
Lord is this a test
Was it fun creating, yeah?
My god's a little sick
And he wants me crazy
That should be obvious enough. Sure you can think you're smart and say that God is a metaphor for drugs or w/e....but then youd just be wrong.
The body is a temple
A dormant alter
To where infantile men lie around
Itching and nibbling
For a small piece of sanity
Of which you can not give
"You" is once again referring to God. C'mon people! Hes talking about dormant alters and people looking for sanity that cant be given to them. Hes lashing out at God! Does it need to be spelled out for you.
aicguy mentioned Hearts song Ring Them Bells. He also mentioned that the lyrics were written by HEART not Layne. Dude, just because you write a song about your problems with God, doesnt make you anti-christian.
And this isn't the first time Staley has addressed his beef with God either. Check out God Am from the self-titled album. That ones even more obvious then this one.
Staleys lyrics were always brutally honest. Blunt and to the point. They're not hard to figure out, but that doesnt mean the man wasnt a lyrical genius.
