Chilling reference to christianity.
the whole "on my way to save the world." brings to light so many events, the burning of protestants in England, the spanish inquisition. And when paired with the word, missionary, it brings to mind when the spanish started sending friars to the southwest to educate indians. "i want to see my name on the map" sounds alot like imperialistic spain when a shitload of focus was placed on religion in each region they conquered in the americas. "burning books", well a lot of this happened whenever overly religios types get carried away. overall very impressive socio-politcal commentary. if i tried writing lyrics about the same topic at jesse's age, mine would sound like pure shit compared to this.
