Another amazing, thought-provoking song by As I Lay Dying. In my opinion, this song really expands on false hope and how it will lead you only to forsaking God.
"I've watched them build upon these empty hearts,
False hopes of lossless paradise,
Gathering together the dead hearts beat as one,
Stillborn comfort feeding lies through answers of self denial,
Divided between a dissolute self and the sorrow of sincere devotion"
This entire part of the song is elaborating on the idea of false hope. It's explained that the heaven on Earth that is being so desperately sought after is unreachable. It then continues on to describe the large number of people that are trapped in this sense of false hope that will only lead them to depression and insanity.
"What is it that you find peace in now?
Where is your hope in this dark night?"
After you have spent your life trying to achieve the unachievable you will be left with nothing. By devoting your life to something other then God, you have forsaken Him. By forsaking God, you will have nowhere left to go.
