Neon Bible Lyrics

Cover art for Neon Bible lyrics by Arcade Fire

In the light they both looked the same Poured them out on into the world On every boy and every girl

I think this pretty much secures how I feel about this song in the idea of how the world is becoming desensitized to bad news and good news. We hear about murders and rape and people dying every day and we hardly blink about it. Someone's birthday? Baby born? Big deal, anymore, right?

Well, you lost him but you don't know how In the light of a golden calf

In the light of things 'WOW' and commercial, we are being drawn to constantly boost our interest.

This is a song about a lot of the things you guys have mentioned. It is a song about commercialization, television, and its about religion too. How can we keep our minds focused on religion when there are neon signs flashing everywhere, distracting us? They've got to join in too. Neon Bible.
