Alcohol and Alter Boys

[hondaguy7121989]

three words

IS A CULT.

[justinormoe]

There's a voice in my head, telling me why I should hate you but I hate myself instead.

[Emmure297]

cant wait to see them on wensday :P

[TerribleProvidence]

One of Bayside's best songs in my opinion. And it's not that I don't like Devotion and Desire but god knows why it's so popular.

[Giablo1]

this whole album is depressing as shit

[jimmy63357]

how the fuck is this anti religous xD

[DaltonP10]

anti religious or not still a great song

[battleatbosworth]

such a good anti religious song...

[poikonen01]

I don't think the song is anti-religious at all. Anti-religious would indicate some sort of disdain or active contempt against religion. Rather, the song writer has trouble believing in a "God above", and this inability to believe in merciless. To put it another way, the songwriter may have non-religious viewpoints, but anti-religious isn't really correct. I'm sure you know someone who, themselves, is atheist, but is not actively against religion.

[battleatbosworth]

You know how sometimes you make really smart, intelectual, grammaticaly pristine comments, and other times you make retarded comments?

That was one of them.

I am one of those atheists...

[improvmastah]

this song os about not believing in good and getting drunk, that is why it is written its on their dvd for sirens

[njhs27]

yeah I'm sure thats exactly what he was going for...

[cobaltandlies]

This song isn't against religion in any way hahaha, its about controdiction in life. How one minute, you can do great things, and turn around and do horrible things.

[PluralOfEverything]

It's altar, not alter.

[geoff8]

is it really? i get both alter and altar from different sources, the itunes music store has it listed as alter.

[PluralOfEverything]

They have it wrong. Alter means to change, but an altar is the thing you use to sacrifice stuff.

[geoff8]

I realise what the word means, when it comes to song names however meaning and context do not have a huge bearing. All that matters is what the band chose to use. Do you have a copy of the physical disk and its case to verify or shall I go with whichever word is more prominant when looking through credible sources?

[PluralOfEverything]

I don't know the band, so I don't know if they meant boys who do stuff for priests or if they meant boys who signify some kind of change. Listening to the words of the song, I would guess that they mean the religious thing. Also at the beginning of the video, it says altar boys. I know what you mean, though, about meaning and context having nothing to do with song and band names.

[Pacman272]

to settle the argument. the back of the cd case says Alter boys. not Altar. Good debate tho. i enjoyed it lol.

[PluralOfEverything]

So did I.  I wonder why they used the wrong word.

[Pacman272]

maybe they didn't research it and it's just a typo? Or either the meaning of the song is different than what you would think. who knows how musicians minds work lol.

[geoff8]

thinking about it, it could be that pills and bacardi bring out the alter(ed) boys

[MissLadyMoose89]

@geoff8 Wikiepedia says "Altar". But that's not always reliable.

[Emobutcher420]

YEAH

[cheeseylovah]
