Book of Revelation Lyrics

Another great song from the Drums. Looking at the lyrics, it seems to be a child leaving their suffocating religious family. I think there is also someone involved, probably a boyfriend, who encouraged this. \n\nTo my (very limited knowledge), the book of revelation is about apocalyptic events. Many evangelical bible thumpers yell about the rapture and how we\'re all going to die and blah blah blah. I think this boy\'s transformation (for lack of better word) is being compared to the book of revelation because of how horrifying it is for both his family and who he used to be.\n\nHe learns to stop living in fear of the future and embrace this present life.
