No. This song IS NOT about Joey. COME ON. He may have been a good drummer but how good was he if they had a falling out and his leaving was mutual.
Anyway, enough about that 5y.o drama. It's done and dusted.
The Gray Chapter was a sick album.
This has to be about Lucifer... The devil.
I'm not saying the band is Satanic but as far as the Christians go ol' Luci gets a bad rap and I think that is what this song is about.
God creates the big bad to punish the evil doers but he becomes this excuse for everything bad that a person does.
Any time Catholic Church comes under fire for the massive amounts of child sexual abuse they say that the devil is making the people investigating it do it. Or the devil made the priests do it.
Plenty of other examples.
But the devil has become the perfect scapegoat (no pun intended)
That's what the songs jumps out at me about. Basically that and "you're either a good christian or you are evil".
