Messiah Complex Blues
Messiah Complex Blues: A Poetic Stand Against Sin
Lyrics
I wouldn't die for your sins
Choosing not to sacrifice oneself for another's wrongdoing
'cause what if I lose and you win?
Concern about the potential outcome and consequences of such sacrifice
Our friendship is all that we have in the end
Emphasizing the value of their friendship as the ultimate connection
But I wouldn't die for your sins
Reiteration of the refusal to die for someone else's sins
And I love you with all that I can
Expressing love to the fullest extent possible
And bleed from the palm of my hands
Symbolic reference to suffering, possibly alluding to religious imagery
I'll see you in heaven if we both get in,
Hopeful anticipation of meeting in heaven, conditional on both entering
'cause I wouldn't die for your sins
Reaffirming the decision not to die for the sins of the other
No I wouldn't die for your sins.
Repetition of the refusal for emphasis
And the truth isn't so hard to see.
Declaring the clarity of the truth
Come to me I'll set you free
Invitation to seek freedom through connection with the speaker
My brothers and sisters, I'll let you in
Inclusivity towards others as brothers and sisters
But I wouldn't die for your sins
Reiteration of the refusal to die for the sins of others
No I wouldn't die for your sins.
Emphasizing the repeated decision not to sacrifice for sins
No I wouldn't die for your sins.
Continued emphasis on the refusal throughout
No I wouldn't die for your sins.
Consistent repetition of the decision not to die for sins
No I wouldn't die for your sins.
Continued assertion of not sacrificing for the sins of others
No I wouldn't die for your sins.
Final reaffirmation of the speaker's choice not to die for another's sins
