have to say this is a fooking great song and what i see are anti-religious feelings surfacing and evidence of the dogma involved within the lyrics - to me it speaks of brainwashed christians who are, once taught, never quite able to remove it from their head - hence the title
the first two verses are littered with what seems to me to be anti-christian [offended? then forgive me!lol]
"You keepin' on a holdin'
A-holdin' on a-keepin'
No givin' into takin' more
But still, still feedin'" ...religions can only exist [feed] with a following flock
"You're clearly disturbed,
All you want is allegiance" ...the demands religions place on people
"You hit 'em with believin'
Holy, holy water washin' over the soul" - self evident
"Collecting all the people you love
to sing you a song
even if they stick to humming" ...particularly made me lololol
"Leaving with their heart
To shape them within" ...giving yourself to a religion [a god] changes you inside
"Speaking in tongues we've all been summoned." Glossolalia is defo a religious practice
"it's all about OUR love for you." ...the lyrics are pretty damning [pun intended]
...and there's more
you don't have to agree, this is my interpretation, free speech an'all =)
@shastra I created an account just to upvote this comment. I don't care it was written 13 years ago.
I particularly liked the part that says
"Everything you taught me, honey
It never even mattered, really
It's all of our love for you."
It makes me think it refers to a catholic-style dogma, where everything can be forgiven, as long as you have faith. 😂
