@Hupsibasse The references he makes in this song to Desmond Morris, Rene Descarte and Hobbes are pretty intense though. Might be worth a look around at some online explanations of the lyrics and maybe give a different view on the decadence. Maybe not, just trying to enrich the debate :)
none can understand wtf bad religion is sayng cause they're a metaphorical band.they talk about magic mainly and relationships 'tween god and humans(maybe)
This is my first time hearing this song. To me it seemed like it was about the holocaust. Just listen to the lyrics. Maybe i'm wong i don't know. Just my opinion.
i don't get this song. i'm a huge fan of all BR's closing songs (even The New America--a terrible album--went out with a bang), but there's some poppy stuff at the end of this new album that just doesn't seem to fit their writing style. i realize that bands branch out and try different things, but i can't pull any meaning from these lyrics, and the music isn't engaging like most other BR tunes. this seems like filler, which BR shouldn't have to use...
Bad Religion was my first "#1 favorite band" as a kid, when I first got into music for myself and was still cutting out a space for myself apart from the tastes of my very musically active parents. To this day they hold a place in my heart that few other bands can touch. I can't express enough joy that they are still going strong, and still making great new albums after so very many years. I have more favorite Bad Religion songs than some bands have songs at all. Here's to hoping they keep it up
@HadesPet I think it's about god in a way. Someone is asking god something, and god answers in turn "i can't deny it, but I won't say anything." God not admitting to his mistakes, but he won't lie and deny it. That same idea can be applied to people in general.
i have just spent the better part of about 2 hours listening to this song, its just so good and im still trying to figure out what its about!, but hey, i cant deny its great so i wont say anything
I personally think New Maps of Hell is their best album, punk rock back to their roots...well their "Punk Rock" roots, they gave Progressive Rock a go, and it didnt go too well, though i actually found "Into the Unknown" as being pretty great.
anyway, this is album is great, all the people commenting are the sort of people who whenever there is a great band who has either evolved, or just changed always say, "I prefer their older stuff"...why can't you like the good stuff, regardless of age?
I have been a Bad religion fan for a long timeand I think that this is their best album.
You cant blame them for evolving some of their styles. Hell Greg Graffin is 46.
It would be unfair to him to write everything the same. And I really dont get all the hating on this album cause most of their songs are still the Bad Religion we all know.
They just have a couple different songs which I think are excellent
i just listened to this whole album and its just not that good. some good songs but nothing that truly stands out like against the grain, suffer, generator, no control... its just sub-par in comparison like new maps of hell or new america. i am sorry BR i love you guys but come on. i know you can do better. Disappointed...
Really catchy and smooth song to end the album. I like this one a lot actually. This album and the previous album had their ups and downs but the high ups on them carried any low points.
alright i love bad religion alot, they are my favorite band, i painted the cross buster on the back of my leather jacket, in all honesty, that was an ok album, not bad, they are much to good at what they do to have a bad album, but very very mediocre. but who knows, i didnt like new maps of hell when it first came out so maybe my opinion will change, suffer is still the best, and how could hell be any worse is still the best, how ever this is my opinion and i will not state it as fact.
I love the contrast of the opening song "the day the earth stalled" and then this song, the closing track. It kinda symbolizes how they first started out and how they've grown as a band over the years. anyway, enough analysis... this is a great fucking song!
I love this song, In my opinion, Bad Religion just know how to end every album in an epic way: Don't sell me short, Live Again, Fields of Mars, Walk Away, Bored and Extremely Dangerous... and this song is another one, just epic, I love it!!!
I understand what this song's about..but hey!! I won't say anything \m/

Brett's songwriting is deteriorating to the point of decadence.
I really dislike some of the songs on Dissent, including this one.
