I think this song is a rant against legalistic Christianity that tries to dictate what's right and wrong about your actions and fails to look at a person's heart. The Pharisees in the Bible were legalists and Jesus referred to them as whitewashed tombs. Pretty on the outside, but decaying on the inside.
Also, I think the line "It breaks your heart to see me consume" is referring to those who condemn the band because they drink. Just a few thoughts. :) Awesome song tho!
I dont see why anyone would be upset that they drink. They're not A7x. they dont get smashed in public and make fools of themselves. They aren't drunks. And it bothers me that people judge them for being a Christian band that drinks. Anymore, it's as if you have to be perfect if you claim to be a Christian. Being a Christian doesn't mean being Jesus, it means trying everyday to be more like Him. But none of us can ever be just like Him. We'll never be perfect.
