this song is about getting the junk out of your life, and it makes a really cool metaphor about beheading this "ichabod." ichabod is a name that is used in the Bible which means something to the effect of "the glory is gone." he got this name because there was a battle in which eli and his two sons were killed. ichabod was eli's grandson.

my favorite line is "So bored of losing ground to the heresy In our hearts." because a lot of times that's the attitude that i have in my Christian walk. it talks about "showing out" ichabod, which symbolizes the bad stuff in your life-"well take it all back and then some" and "well cut out all thats a hindrance"

the only thing that i dont really understand is "bleed the old man" this could either be because ichabod's father was killed in the story, or i think it might be talking about the passage in the Bible which says that you should hate your family. it didnt really mean you should hate your family, it just meant "hate" compared to your love for Christ-- you should love God so much more.

Project 86 rocks, but God rules.
