I agree with all of the above. The song is about how God gave us music as a gift with which we honor and praise him. We ran with it and made it into something else, we are killing it.
Art is not the world; art is in our hearts.
Great words. I almost had that engraved on my iPod.
I think this song is Josh Dies at his finest. When I first listened to the album I heard this and was like...This song is epic...and then when I read the lyrics to understand everything I didn't catch on the first run I was awe struck.
To me it also seems that Josh thinks that screamo/raw rock is the last hurrah in terms of music. "we sing good bye in screams and screeches, and bury these knives in your heart". So good bye comes in the form of screamo as we put the knives in the heart of art and thus end it. Overall this song is amazing. Simply amazing. I can't wait for Age of Reptiles.
