The line 'praise apocrypha-ommited offense' to me concerns the book of Apocrypha, which had no author, using this as a sleight against fashion clad pop stars of our age where integrity within music is dead etc... the whole point the songs is driving at, that there is no art in popular music 'Ive tapped the well dry but theres no word'. Anyway it merely drives at the lack of an author to modern music and plays on the 'uncertain authenticity' that epyon mentioned before me. Keith might be saying that we praise these anthems that have no genuine meaning or truth, that wouldnt even be allowed in to this renegade Biblical chapter. This would cohere with the absolute stonker of a closing line.

I agree with you about the meaning of this song. Today's mainstream music is just hollow bullshit with no emotion or meaning. It's really killing our culture.
