Saferwaters

while i do believe this song is somewhat about a misanthrope, i also believe the song is decrying the challenge of trying to bring the truth of God to culture so ignorant and full of worthless things ( the city's saving grace). there is somewhat of an allegory to the biblical account of jonah in how he references coming from a fish. I think overall pete is lamenting the fact that he doesnt think the public will ever catch on to the real message of his music, so he's to the point of why even try. (whoever knows, nobody knows) its lament and frustration over the fact of how he can somehow relate this knowledge to people who dont want to hear it
