Hostile Apostle

"I can't free myself of the suspicion for your motives on your mission"

• Referring to the main subject of the song - Bands putting out a negative image - mainly the "Angry human" that:

"leads impressionable boy to skulls and piercings and will to destroy"

• Sound familiar? We've all seen them.

"Hostile apostle, who are you following negative energy that you're swallowing"

• Following these bands just make you swallow negative energy. I don't care if you say you don't. 311 is a very enlightened band and explores the unconscious mind. They know what's up. That negative bullshit in that bullshit music effects you where you like it or not.

"all of your heroes speak nothing to me"

• The heroes being the band lead singers I suppose. Or the bands themselves. Most of them are only heroes because they were really good and committed suicide. Great image to spread to our children. Make lots of money for spreading negative vibes and kill yourself.

"some people live for the rules I live for exceptions"

• Just like the rebellious kids that listen to the bullshit. They look for someone to understand the fact that they want to blow the world away - only a few types of music sing about that kind of shit.

"can't take part in the deception but I know just how it feels to wanna blow the world away just to get to what is real"

• 311 Making that connection with it's listeners. They've felt the same way we have.

"it won't work cuz everybody grinds to a halt now and then everybody's game gets salt then again"

• 311 Making their listeners aware that everyone gets this feeling - there's no need to listen to music that gives you "one motion, one tempo, no real feeling". Having this feeling once in a while is normal - but going to the extent of listening to music so you keep it, that's fucked and the reason it's supported is fucked as well. Probably so the psychiatry field can make more money.

"In this field we are the presence of the thoughts you're missin' keepin' positive intact from all the people dissin'"

• 311 shows its manipulative side once in a while - and this is one of them. But it's for the best of the "lost souls". They refer to themselves as the presence of the thoughts the "impressionable boy" loses once he's a victim of "lost soul" due to his negative "heroes".

"you don't have to be a prick just to be heavy"

• Now we know what he was talking about the whole time - HEAVY METAL. And you don't have to be a fucking prick that sings about dumb shit and socially conditions children into hating themselves and the world. It's some real bullshit. Viva La Evolution.

"Victim of lost soul, hostile apostle."

• In the end that's all the kids are that listen to heavy metal all day. Wear black, wear pictures of skulls, remain a "background person" and talk to the same few people every day. Make jokes about fucked up shit like death and murder. Overall lose your entire mind and mental processes to the music you listen to. It's better to listen to a variety of music, It's understandable to listen to Heavy Metal - but not ONLY Heavy Metal.

Just my 10,000 cents.
