I think it's using tower of Babel imagery, but the chorus is quoting the Bible in St. Matthew 6:20 "But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal." the line "pull the fangs from out your heel" refers also to a passage of the Bible in Genesis 3:15- and refers to the bite of the devil against the peace of humanity and the triumph of the 'seed of the woman' that would crush that serpent's head- Jesus.
Lift the burden, because your decision to make your physical body more fit is the fastest and most effective way to make your smile more permanent. If you disagree, then remember this: It is you comparing your body, your appearance, your talent, your personality to that famous person, and that's incongruent. If you're truly happy letting your functional health decline, then, please, never mention another word from the unavoidable entertainment 'news' again .~Sam Botta

@anon666ification you fucking german pig!i spit on you u fucking nazzi.give to my country all the money we lost in world wars u bastards!!!u r killers.
every cent u gave us u will take it back.
u make a large amount of money from HELLAS so shut your mouth.
we r a country with dignity and respect and we r proud!!!u will never be!!!
We are here to watch a fucking video and listen some real music, not to speak about laziness...
And I never say that I give the world everything... GREECE GAVE EVERYTHING! Not only me... without us, you and the other world should live like cannibal! When GREEKS invent fire, Germany was A BIG NOTHING!
@LinaraKaulitz erm... jussayin, that was like, thousands of years ago that the Greeks did all the major stuff you're referring to, and they did NOT invent fire... i have no idea where you got that from... that said i agree... shut up and enjoy the music.
@anon666ification Greece gave EVERYTHING to the other world! The culture, the language, EVERYTHING! And about the "bunch of lazy fucks" I have to say this: You are the only lazy fuck here! Speak for your self and take a look at the past we have, Greeks and Germans!
I'm a 23 year old female and these guys are my ALL TIME FAVORITE BAND!!! I just seen them in Vegas and they were beyond amazing!!!! Dustin is so yummy!!! :))

Been a fan since '05 and while The Alchemy Index is my favorite album(s) by them, this is still my favorite song. And this acoustic version is even better.
How the hell could four people have accidentally clicked dislike? Apparently YouTube needs to spread apart the thumbs up and the thumbs down. Thrice = Greatest band of all time
I picked up an EP off the dusty ground at the Warped Tour about eight years ago and from that first song until now I have grown up with THRICE as the soundtrack to my life! So inspirational and motivational these artists are!!
it's not only the music, but also the lyrics that I love about this band.... makes you wonder what he was thinking the moment he wrote them. There's nothing more to be said.... amazing song!
The older I get the more and more I appreciate and dig this CD, I met Dustin (the singer) at my work a couple years ago. Such a chill down to earth guy, best frontman of this genre in my opinion.
if no one knows what this songs is ACTUALLY about then they haven't bought the deluxe version of Vheissu or read the amazing series of Frank Herbert's Dune.
the song refers to the boy who became a god on the sand planet Arrakis, and could see the past and the future all in one. When he reluctantly ruled the universe, he decided to save the future of humanity by renouncing his godly title.
in the third book, he returns in disguise as the 'Preacher' warning the people "sand will cover you"

agreed. Its completely amazing how much this rocks. Those lyrics and melody. WOW. I knew they were my favorite band for a reason. Years and Years still they rock.
Thrice lured me in with the Illusion of Safety because I used to think the only really good music was loud and raw. I can say that I love each of their albums equally now
i love this band! heard this song for the first. his voice is so beautiful. i love a guy singer for a rock band who can actually sing instead of those crappy boys who get famous for not having a voice lol
Ha ha, sounds like someone's never been to a Thrice concert before. Put any band in front of a bunch of cameras and their stage presence is going to drop a few notches. The energy from a live crowd is what really pumps a band up, you gotta admit that this sounds amazing though.
