WHAT IS THIS SONG ABOUT!!!?!>?

please? someone tell me.

This conjures up images of Christians being fed to the lions. I think it's a continuation of the Satanic Messiah idea, where it's the end of the world, the anti-christ has arrived, but all he can think of is that one girl and the times he wasted with her.

i dont know much about the song i personally havnt listened to it 1 John 4:16 is below

e> And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.

many of the lines are about not having to worry again and this verse tells why even though John obviously dosnt believe it himself i still have no idea what the "beast on the chain" is sorry, im new at this

I like the Christians being fed to the lions idea, but who said it was a girl? Could it not be God that he spent time with in the rain? This goes along with the "rely on the love God has for us" line in 1 John 4:16
