This song is relevant to the human condition. This song is also reflective of a person's view regarding the state of the world. The view is constant and unchanging. I know that Burton has stated that he is atheistic and if one were to take that view into account, then it can be uncovered that life, itself, as part of the human condition, has a beginning but ironically our only salvation is to end. I think the bottom line that Burton tries to express with this song is that all life yields suffering and that we are all 'bastards' because we are all brought into a world of suffering without our consent.

@filtinator I think when he screams that he has to get away he is trying to break free from the lack of control that he has with life.
