i love this song so much. probably one of my favorites on this album.. its so sad.

this song hints strongly at abortion. i think thats what its really about..

i'll just go ahead and do a full analyzation of what i think the lyrics are saying.

the salt of the earth is used in the Bible as a name for Jesus.. i'm not sure exactly what this has to do with my point of view on this song, its probably contradicting it but oh well.

'each correction makes us stronger, absconder in happiness, yeah'

the correction being the abortion, absconder (someone who runs away) in happiness afterwards because she thinks she solved all of her problems by aborting the baby.

voyage up my river full of tears it's yerking (the girls sadness about an accidental pregnancy)

Lookout now, doctor's unleashing: (doctor doing the abortion, the mother telling the child to look out.. yeah.)

All this dangerous, this is dangerous I can't hide your danger eye i can't hide Your death selection (pretty obvious what its talking about.. the baby can't hide from the doctor or what is about to happen to him/her.)

One day i would've fallen so in love One day i would've painted reds and greens of one who let me live long enough (the baby talking about what would have happened in it's life if his/her mother would've let him/her live long enough.)

But there's suits in love with their own poises Hypocrites with no more voices Corporate cowards with no more choices (talking about the greedy doctors not really giving a shit, just killing peoples babies despite what they might think is morally right. just doing it for the money basically.)

This is dangerous, this is dangerous I can't hide your danger eye i can't hide Your death selection (going back to the baby saying they cant hide from the abortion)

All is lost for us if heaven All is lost for us if heaven fails All is, all is, all is.. (this might be a stretch, but this COULD be like all the voices of the aborted babies talking about they're doomed if heaven fails them because they never even got a chance to live.)

and thats just what i think... pretty sad. abortion is so wrong.

I agree.

It definitely isn't about abortion, you're reaching.

It's definitely not about abortion. It certainly having something with religion because of Matthew 5:13 but don't bring your "pro-life" bullshit in a song that has nothing to do with what you believe.
