I think but don't know for sure the song is about Jesus...
hahaha, well, Jesus eats his own flesh, since people in passover consume Jesus's flesh with bread (and wine?). I think I'm not sure, I just say this b/c I've never been through catechism and up until a year ago didn't know that Jesus was revered in some sort of ritual meal. It also fits that mold, where all people are god's children, and those who believe in jesus are inherently eating their own blood since they come from the same strand. Some jibber-jabber of such, but I think the tone is indicative of the speaker's attitude. Which is that Jesus is visicous and self-serving, loves himself more and inflicts pain upon people through robbing them of hope. Hope serves as a form of self-help and replaces the rules of religion, hope is really the individual's understanding that to keep living is an act of investing in what the future brings, the composite opposite of nihilism. When you think of religion, conquering hope, an illogical fallacy occurs and blinds you to what's really happending. In the lyrics, Brock is using Jesus giving him a voice that hopes the people hopeless so they will invest in him as their savior. Within this power of peoples faith, the narrator, Jesus, demonstrates his capacity to control the people, even the audience; he tells us
"Well, there's one thing to know about this town
Not a person doesn't want me underground
There's one thing to know about this town
It's five hundred miles underground; and that's ok
There's one thing to know about this earth
We're put here just to make more dirt, and that's ok"
Speaking in idioms, the narrator in the end communicates the sentiment that he is unwanted, the people undergound,or in hell, and the people are all without an essential purpose.
Yet the ending of "Night on the sun" sends the contradition that flips the meaning, a contradication since in raw conception the sun gives day, creates it, and the abuse of what to think what to acutalize becaomes a surrealist hell of who to beleive; the attittde says don't beleive in Jesuss.
