phan·tas·ma·go·ri·a   [fan-taz-muh-gawr-ee-uh, -gohr-] noun

  1. a shifting series of phantasms, illusions, or deceptive appearances, as in a dream or as created by the imagination.

i know that song titles don't always have to necessarily relate to the meaning of a song but since this song is pretty straight forward i believe the title ties in as it's saying that god is just a figment of people's imagination and that we as people have to figure out a way to live and take care of ourselves because there isn't some higher being looking out for us that's going to save us from everything he was raised up to believe in god but after so much heart ache and a look at the world around us he figured no benevolent god could just sit there and watch his creations suffer without intervening if he truly existed

i personally am a christian who is very sound in my beliefs but i feel a weird relation to this song, i'm sure we've all been there before lyrically and musically this is definitely one of my favorites on violent waves such a solid album
