There are a few lines I noticed, the main one that took me months to realize:
(BTW, I know A LOT of Bad Religion songs aren't about Religion. But this song has 1 line in there which I can't interpret any other way expect for Religion)
"I can feel so alone with you right here and yet I turn to you for comfort in my despair"
That sounds like Religion aka "God". -- If he's always there, why do you turn to the same one for "comfort"????
@ColoradoBoy19 I empathize with that line, with technology enabling a hyper-connectedness of communication and information sharing, (ie. internet); having the world at your fingertips isn't a cure for loneliness, but it is a comforting form of temporary treatment. It's a window showing a chaotic world lacking organization (like dust), while we may feel individually like the most evolved product that came out of that dust, with the biological marvel of our complex anatomy being the core of our structured and organized personal entities (our bones). Seeing the world turn against us is petrifying...
