I always applied this to my situation at home with my religious mother. She would always put her beliefs before her relationship with us. We love each other very much but growing up it might as well been a wall between us. It was a tough thing to have your parents whom you trust very much tell you one thing, but you just know its not true. I ended up spending most of my childhood just following along to make them happy.
"I don’t want to believe but I want to believe you,
I don’t mean what I say but I say what I need to
You waste so much time"
The first time I heard this line I got shivers from my spine. My feelings perfectly explained. Isn't it great when you find an artist that can do this for you? Makes you feel not-so alone.
"Desperate friends trying to reconcile the bends
There is a name for men like you inside the dark
And I know your faults,
I know the way you write them off
I don’t want anything to do with it no more"
I relate this to how so many very perverted, malicious, and generally evil people use their christianity to justify hatred. On the outside looking in, the "who's more holy" pissing competition that goes on between the people in the church looks so silly, but they just don't see it that way.
The whole "your last name is mine" thing is just a convenient irony I guess lol.
NOTE: You can listen to this entire album in this theme and it all fits, Im not sure that its what he intended but in my opinion, the best poetry/music can fit anyone's life and be just what they need.
