Imaginary Places Lyrics

Cover art for Imaginary Places lyrics by Busdriver

It's possible that mister Busdriver here is talking about God and Heaven, though in a negative way.

From what I can tell, the "imaginary places" that people are "buying real estate" in is Heaven. And I think that maybe he actually says "H-I-M know how I hate Him so", "Him" being God; if this is true, then it would make sense of the next line: "but He charged me for a halo". Again, the "He" is God, and God is being accused of asking too much of Busdriver for admittance into Heaven. Notice that Busdriver mentions on numerous occasions that he feels he is under constant surveillance: God or "evil Christians" are "spying" on him, ready to "judge". And when he talks about "informative pamphlets" and people that are "just here to hold your hand when you die" it could be that he is referring to Christians who attempt to convert those in their death beds.

This is simply what I interpreted from the song. To make things clear: I think Busdriver is an amazing talent, however, I do love God more than all and if this skilled rapper is in fact mocking my Savior then I am sorely disappointed.

My Interpretation

Hmm, well if that is truly what he was thinking during the creation of this song, I would think all christians had thought this way at some point. I mean christianity is profitable, as are many religions. But if you understand why he is speaking down to christianity, then why would it dissapoint you? I mean understanding that there are people who do act the way he is stating in the song, if that is the meaning, then why do you take offense if you are not one of the people? He also wouldn't be talking...
