Frak The Gods Lyrics

Lyric discussion by PreludeTMadness 

Cover art for Frak The Gods lyrics by Periphery

I think this is partly about religion and the way it dominates our society once it's present.

"Reason with the body that death isn't what it seems" - religion forcing the idea that death is not the end?

"Only forgiveness can end this" - Christian notion of a "forgiving" god (if God forgives you, all your problems are solved)

"Our lives must replay in the hope of ascending peacefully" - buddist idea of reincarnation and nirvana?

Also it seems to be about a race or species becoming extinct (numerous references to death) or possibly an alien invasion?

My Interpretation

No PreludeTMadness, It's about Battlestar Galactica.

Actually Periphery denied that. But you can interpret the lyrics like you want of course

It's about the show battlestar galactica. Frak is a commonly used profanity in the show, and frak the gods is a common term. The religious undertones come from the fact that the Cylons think of humans as constantly living in sin and try to bring about their extinction because of it.
