Hey John, What's Your Name Again?

In the beginning, the song clearly states how the "concept of fashion" is what is to be blamed. This does not mean fashion is being blamed, it means that the concept of it is to be blamed. With fashion, everything looks so good. The World makes everything look so good like fashion, wealth, power, possessions, etc.

"Well it must be difficult being so gorgeous. Claiming to be the kings and queens but it's all of nothing" refers to people claiming AND fooling themselves into thinking who they are not by living a lie. If I am thinking from Mike Hranica's (vocalist) point of view correctly, I think that he is trying to say that as a Christian, one should notice in another's life that it is difficult trying to live a life that is fake and essentially not a reality at all. Kidding oneself into fashion or power (kings and queens) can ruin a person and they do it just for the sake of pleasing themselves and others just so they can fit under the umbrella of influence/power in the world. In reality, one does not need to kid them self into living a lie to make a difference or have influence in the world. The world is just so focused on what LOOKS SO GOOD - the concept of fashion - and the world doesn't care what happens to YOU or ANYONE as long as the world, being full of sin, is happy with it since the world is full of sin anyway (not that I'm saying there's no good left in the world...that's another topic...).

"Congratulations on mutilation for a life" speaks of a person, who being in the state of mind that is of the world, that destroys the lives of others due to "Megalomania" - obsession with wealth or power. In this sense, megalomania is used for appeal to the human eye (fashion: looking gorgeous) and power (claiming to be kings and queens).

It then goes on with a person saying they will hope and pray for that person that they might change their ways and accept Jesus Christ as their savior to obtain salvation. Even though this person is amongst the wreckless and the black (being sin; not people), salvation lies within for that person to be saved no matter what the situation. The person that hopes and prays for the other(s) even goes on to say that his time is for the other's so that they might turn away from the ways of the world and be saved so that a life is not lost to Satan in this Spiritual Warfare.

It then ends with the worldly people who wish to be changed crying out saying "We all find ourselves so horribly weak!" He's basically saying "How do I manage to get out of this mess?" And the friend that hopes and prays for the other(s) says "Here's an offering" which means he is willing to help the other(s) so that the other(s) may live a righteously for Jesus Christ and not live a life that is a lie and sin and worldly desires.

Thanks for reading this...

...I hope this explanation makes sense and that it makes a difference in the lives of those who AREN'T Christ Followers and I hope it encourages and challenges those who ARE Christ Followers not to live a life that is a lie, of the world, and full of sin...

...God Bless...
