The New Cult King

Yes, this song is definitely about religion. Here's my take on a few of the lines.

"you're always brighter in the daytime you fight it after midnight" says two things to me. 1) it's easier to believe in religion and all during the day, and at night you start to question it more as you start thinking more deeply 2) during the day you generally conform more to society and religion, while at night youre more likely to rebel, and break laws and such...so by brighter he might be meaning more religious, and fighting it at night means fighting the rules, and trying to break away from it.

"it just seems to me it's such a joke every new walk thru life just inherits Christ you should have to prove something first" seems to say how much he thinks its all bullshit, because it makes no sense that you can just basically ask for Christ, and not do anything else and he will save you.

"search for signs to light the path show me the way savior send a glimpse to glance and renew my faith" I think this is saying how he wants to believe and is searching for guidance (hes also quoting scripture here), he just needs some sort of proof.

"nails through hands and feet on this cedar grave atone for sin can this be can my soul be saved" This obviously refers to Christ on the cross, and how he is wondering if his soul can be saved.

"I think too much need to believe in something real don't need this crutch because it just deceives" This is saying how religion is just a crutch to help people get through tough times, and doesn't hold any true relevance, and that if you think about it that this will be obvious.

"challenge me once more to hold my head above water drowning quick flooding in soaked through my lungs" I'm not sure about this part, but I think he is talking about how he's fighting to believe in Christ. How he is going through a lot of pain (possibly dying) yet he's trying not to try to take comfort in Christ because he knows it's not real.

"judgment day the verdicts in it seems the jury is hung" This seems to be talking about how on judgement day, people will realize that there is no religion to save you, because it's all a lie.

Well those are my views. I think this is Mushroomhead's best song, but far its deepest, and it has a ton of meaning, much of which I still can't understand after listening to this song many many times. But that's why this music is enjoyable, who wants to listen to punk and pop and rap where there is no meaning to try to understand.
