All of you that think "Sin" was written as a religious metaphor couldn't be further from the truth. And why do you people waste our time writing your opinion (for which you are entitled)but as fact. That shit pisses me off. As a Heroin addict and alcoholic for 20 years (3 years in recovery now. Not that it matters) the song "Sin" is a addict /alcoholic speaking of the daily demons and torture we put ourselves through. We don't separate drugs and alcohol we will use anything we have preferences but they are all one in the same. Holy water is a metaphor for all drugs and alcohol nothing to do with religion of any sort. Sinking low keep on drinking. The further down the hole we go we increase our use. And the longer you stay alive in that place makes you strong you have to be to stay alive. Soul you stole mine. Obvious but for those of you that don't understand the demons; We (addicts) know right from wrong yet are slaves to the drug and will do anything it takes to feed it. Our conscience then makes us believe we are horrible people so we use more to smash back the conscience until there comes a time that no longer works "wishful thinking six feet under" was exactly how I felt I was convinced the world was a better place without me in it. Many addicts have the same thoughts. "so feel what were my eyes... My sins have made me blind" it must be this way otherwise the Addict wouldn't be able to live with themselves. My interpretation of "Dead by dreaming... Is speaking of Dt's or Opiate withdrawal those three lines all symptoms of withdrawal. If you have never experienced that then how could you have an opinion?" Shackled to the shadow" is nothing more than we tend to live in the past never able to forgive ourselves of our sins. It is a very simple line but the most powerful line in the song. I believe that's why they changed up the music, tempo and lyric. Many of us that are unable to forgive ourselves have a very weak chance of recovery and most of us die young as a result. I listen to this song alot and get goose bumps every time. The author is one of us and simply stating the torture he lives daily. IT'S NOT A METAPHOR FOR RELIGION... YOU ARE A DUMB ASS.
Your life experiences will influence your interpretation of art / music. So that you are a recovery addict is very poignant to your interpretation. Those of us that haven't been addicts are more likely to find other meanings to relate to in the song, because that is based on our life experiences.

Neither are wrong, and all of us are right. So no need to act like your opinion is better than anyone else's ... because remember opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and thinks everyone else's stinks!
