To me what this song shows what happens when we let the world rule and not God. The first thing that happens is satan shows up in sheeps clothes and makes sin look good. Then when the fun is over he sheds the sheeps coat and lets the viper take hold of us. To the point where sin isnt fun but we just do it because were bound by the viper (satan). And we keep what holds us down. But then in our darkest our we realize that God is the only one who can set us free.
My favorite line in the whole song other than "take my lust, the pornos, and the sluts" is "When I Am God this church is unsound". I love that line so much because it reveals what a lot of churchs do. They make themselves God, instead of letting God, be God. And then it creates a church in ruin. Thats one reason i dont watch most TBN preachers because most of them make thereselves God. Im not naming names but i think u know who they are. But thats what happens when we make ourselves God. The best visual is to imagine a church like this, and ive seen many churchs like this, my own church was like this until we changed. Ok...
Imagine a church were on the outside it looks holy, then u take a step in. You walk in and see many "christian" symbols and art, you then make ur way into the church itself, u open the doors and u see a nice pastor preaching with a smile on his face, talking all "christian" like. Then u see a few people with there hands up "pretending" to worship. U take a seat. So far it looks like a nice church. But then all the sudden u hear something whispering in ur ear, saying, "follow me". U turn to see a beautiful sheep (or just imagine whatever animal is beautiful to u, u get the point). It looks innocent, so u decided to follow it. As u walk along it leads u into the shadows, the places that no-one in the church goes. U start to hear the faint whisper of the sounds of adultery, the sounds of immorality, and the sounds of sin. U think in ur mind that this must be in ur head, so instead of turning back u continue on. Then as u go deeper into the shadows u hear what sounds like a snake, slurring its tongue. Once again ur just say its in ur head. But then u notice that the sheeps coat is slowly turning black and ugly, now u kno that its not in ur head. But u continue on in curiosity. Now the voices that u heard earlyer are no longer whispers. U can hear them clearly, and now u are seeing faint figures commiting sexual acts and sinning in other ways as u cross into the darkness. U then realzie this is not what u asked for, and the moment u think that, the sheep has now become the viper. Now that u see what this church really is, u run, and run, and run. Until ur out the door. And as u enter the parking lot u turn and look at the church one last time. U see a sheep waiting at the door, and the brightly colored church with religious symbols, has now become a dark looking dungeon. This is the church that makes themselves God.
Sorry i didnt mean to right a story but when i hear that one line "When I Am God this church is unsound" thats what i think of. Because literally ive been in churches were people are having sex in backrooms and doing drugs in the basement. And it taints the church. So the pastors try to get rid of the evil in the church, but they make themselves God, which only taints it more. The only way to get rid of the taint on the church is to make God God. Just give it up to him and he will instruct you.
