well you know what, i think this song is ABOUT religion.
You�ve got my trust, and it feels, and it feels
Like sabotage, but I'm pulling triggers back on myself
And you know it is all
All I know, (it's) all I know
the religion is luring him in with the answers that he wants, that aren't truthful (your shadow cooking up beautiful lies for you) but the religion has his trust so he believes it is true - the shadow symbolising the God that doesn't exist - it's just a shadow.
And while it feels like somebody is sabotaging his mind, he realises that as he studies his religion, he's the one doing the damage (pulling triggers on himself)
now, the chorus:
And it feels so real from the outside looking in
Yeah, it feels so real from the outside
The religion appears real to an outsider looking in, unaware of all the contradictions, discriminations and inequalities preached in it - taking the religion at face value: essentially, 'some big guy in the sky who loves you' without having learned the fine details of the religion, it seems harmless, and so real, like there could be no other way
"I'll stay with apathy
I'm blind but I can see
A tyrant to the bones"
he's in the process of truly discovering himself, he's been blinded by his religious studies, but he isn't completely blind as his mind matures, he realises that he can still see, and he sees the God as a tyrant to the core.
it's a song about self-discovery. seriously. you people who think it's pro-christian are only looking at half the song - the face value of it.
but if you guys don't like that interpretation, dont like the way it reveals your insecurities, just ignore me, and stay blind...
I think your wrong I am an atheist but your point on religion makes no sense however I do agree on your idea of the song being about self discovery, but I don't agree it's through any religious aspect.
