Unveiling the Betrayal: A Perfect Circle's Powerful Reflection on Faith
Lyrics
You're such an inspiration for the ways
You serve as a source of inspiration, but not in a way I would choose to emulate.
That I'll never ever choose to be
There are numerous ways in which I refuse to be like you.
Oh so many ways for me to show you
There are many ways for me to express how the one you consider your savior has abandoned you.
How your savior has abandoned you
A strong expression of feeling abandoned or betrayed by a higher power.
Fuck your God
An explicit rejection or disdain for the concept of God.
Your Lord and your Christ
Disapproval of God, the Lord, and Christ.
He did this
Attributing the negative situation to the actions of God.
Took all you had and
God took away everything you had.
Left you this way
Resulting in your current state of being.
Still you pray, you never stray
Despite the hardships, you continue to pray and remain faithful.
Never taste of the fruit
You avoid experiencing life's pleasures or consequences.
You never thought to question why
There's a lack of questioning or introspection about your beliefs.
It's not like you killed someone
Actions like killing someone are not part of your deeds.
It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side
Comparing your actions to not committing a hateful act against Christ.
Praise the one who left you
Ironically praising the one who left you in a broken and paralyzed state.
Broken down and paralyzed
Suggesting that the suffering was done for your benefit.
He did it all for you
Reiterating that all the suffering was supposedly for your sake.
He did it all for you
Repeating the idea that everything was done for your benefit.
Oh so many many ways for me to show you
There are numerous ways to show how your rigid beliefs have forsaken you.
How your dogma has abandoned you
Highlighting the abandonment by your dogmatic beliefs.
Pray to your Christ, to your god
Encouraging prayer to Christ and God, despite the apparent abandonment.
Never taste of the fruit
Repeating the avoidance of life's experiences and consequences.
Never stray, never break
Emphasizing the commitment to faith without deviation.
Never choke on a lie
Urging avoidance of falsehoods, despite the suffering caused by a higher power.
Even though he's the one who did this to you
Even though God is responsible for the suffering, there's no questioning or rebellion.
You never thought to question why
Reiteration of the lack of questioning or introspection about the situation.
Not like you killed someone
Similar to line 14, emphasizing the absence of harmful actions.
It's not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side
Repeating the idea that there's no spiteful action against Christ.
Talk to Jesus Christ
Suggesting a plea or conversation with Jesus Christ, seeking understanding.
As if he knows the reasons why
Questioning the assumed reasons behind the suffering and abandonment.
He did it all for you
Reiteration that everything, including suffering, was done for your benefit.
Did it all for you
Repeated assertion that all actions were for your sake.
He did it all for you
Final repetition of the idea that all the suffering and actions were for your benefit.
