This song is deffinitely about the end of days and inspired by the "angry God" portrayed in the books of the Old Testement.
All we know will be folded. A day of clouds. Creation waits�
Get away blue collar instrument
Get away politicians and priests
Refined to consume
It will be laid down
On the necks of the pure
The proud and the damned
Just as it says, a storms brewing and creation will come with the destruction of everything that is. Basically, you gotta deconstruct what is to build something new in its place.
"Get away so and so" - basically calling out all the people who influence organized religion for thier own personal gain and not the good of spreading the word (Refined to Consume)
"It will be laid down on the necks of the pure..." - Basically, the people who have cheated religion from thier followers will watch the wrath of God come down on thier followers first. Mind you, the book of revelation depicts an angry God basically unleashing hell to purify the world. So it sounds dark, cause it is based off a very dark and often overlooked book in the bible. Along with Ezekiel and a few others.
Your day will come
Turn the page, embrace your
Comforting company
The sun beats down on your
Comforting company
Everything is burning because
Tonight the south is on fire!
The south is on fire.
"Your day will come, turn the page, embrace your comforting company" - Pretty self explanitory. These people who have read and will witness this, basically give them a heads up. "turn the page" - ie, read on and you will know whats in store for you.
"tonight the south is on fire" - Seeing that Norma Jean is from Atlanta Ga, I'm guessing this is just in terms of the bible belt and how they all think they're living thier lives the way God intended. When in reality they're opressed and opressing other people with thier false beliefs and judgements. Probably my favorite line in the song!
