The Greatest Story Ever Told Lyrics

At first glance, you will see that a guy stole his girl away from the him, and murdered her. After examining every line, this part may stick out.

"But the truth is that I never committed the crime Cause I could never hurt a fly Then how’d she lose her life? You're In denial"

right here he says that it wasn't him who murdered her because he would never hurt anyone, but then follows it up telling himself he is in denial. This would mean the rest of the song the threats are directed toward himself, an act of suicide is soon to follow.

Another possibility for the above lines would be that he feels he is responsible for what happened, he blames himself for not holding onto the girl while he had her. He allowed her to drift away and this man killed her.

Another way to look interpret the murder of the girl could be to think that her death is really only in his eyes. He lost her to another guy, and he is going to kill the man because of it. So when he denies his innocence, he is telling himself that he is not guilt free in the story, maybe his actions drove her away, maybe he beat her.

This song could be interpreted in a few ways, these are just what I saw in it.
