The "God is Dead" part of this song has always intrigued me because of its darkness and its slow, quiet terror. Some might say that it's meant to express how horrible the world would be without God, but i don't think that's why the band called it "God is Dead." It may have to do with the next part of the song, "Whole New World" which to me is somewhat anti-God. The line that reads "Save yourself there's no salvation" is particularly anti-God, in my opinion, because it's saying "Live for your own good and don't expect any miracles or any heaven."
