The song is about death and people speaking of it. When he says"Are you dead or are you sleepin? God, I sure hope you are dead" He is saying Gods name like how you would say it of you were to say Gods name in vain, like a curse. This song, other than that lyric, have nothing to do with any religion you want to make it out to be. He is telling of how the world is our coffin and everyone complaining how they are going to die and not do what they want with life.
@Flea817 of course its about god all his songs are lol... but its not quite about god.... its about sheepish people that believe in heaven and hell the fact that we own our "coffins" is the fact that we own our deaths by beilieving in post life shit that makes no since
i thinks its about the fact that to many people think about death and therefore dont focus on living
"Are you dead or are you sleepin? God, I sure hope you are dead"
he doesnt knows if all those people are asleep or already dead and rather wants them to be dead, because they dont live life like he thinks they should
reminds me of a satinist for some reason, hopes that god is dead, heaven and hell believe in neither but fear em as well, sating is def on purpose. you know, nothing matters, so why do you have any belief sytems in life if it doesn't matter anyway is bullshit and people like that suck the life out of everything and contribute nothing (almost) to culture or society. I sure hope you are dead and not sleeping seems to have a duality of meaning..perception is everything modest mouse is still waters.
@bethewater51 bro hes defintally talking about christians... and secondly quoting a bunch of other songs doesnt make you right.... and lastly how can u say that satinists contribute nothing to society... we all play a part no matter your religon... Genisis 1:1 In the beggining was the word and the word was God... originally that said Yaway which means the light or love.... in the beggining was the word and the word was love... u can cvlose the book after that
@MrJivePirate this song is 2 minutes 36 seconds long, 100 times over would be 200 minutes 360 seconds, AKA: 206 minutes, AKA 3 hrs and 26 minutes, you should probably do something with your life
This reminds me of the Gamzee and Tavros-
Darn it, people beat me to it...
