Falling on Deaf Ears
Questioning Creation: Debunking the Godly Experiment in 'Falling on Deaf Ears'
Lyrics
Garbage in garbage out
Expressing the concept of receiving output based on the quality of input.
Questions still persist
Highlighting lingering uncertainties or unresolved issues.
The way in which we were created is still debated heavily
Debating the methods or processes involved in human creation.
If we're an experiment, where's the Petri dish located?
Raising questions about the possibility of humans being an experiment and questioning the location of the experiment.
And who's the one conducting tests?
Questioning the identity of the entity conducting tests on humanity.
God are you listening?!
An impassioned plea or challenge to God, seeking attention.
All your careful people call for what they need
Observing that people ask for what they need from God.
What if you're not real?
Pondering the possibility that God may not be real.
And we're wasting all of the precious time we have on worship
Reflecting on the potential waste of time spent on worship if God doesn't exist.
When we're getting nothing back, back
Emphasizing the lack of tangible returns from worship.
Fairy tales in a parlor with a basket filled with dollars
Describing a setting with fairy tales and wealth as a means to release frustration.
A way to vent frustration
Suggesting an outlet for frustration through the purchase of salvation.
Maybe we buy salvation
Possibly expressing doubt about one's beliefs and the consequences of being wrong.
What if I'm wrong?
Repeating the uncertainty and fear of being wrong.
What if I'm wrong?
Expressing the fear of facing dire consequences in an apocalyptic scenario if wrong.
I'll burn in an apocalyptic realm
Questioning the directive to seek intelligence by looking upward.
When we seek intelligence we're told to look up for answers
Considering the possibility of looking away from truth if it contradicts preconceived notions.
The truth might not be what we thought but are we willing to look away if nothing happens?
Raising a philosophical question about the essence of a heartbeat and possibly criticizing God for not listening.
What makes a heartbeat?
Reiterating the frustration and doubt about God's existence.
God you're not listening!
Repeating the call for what people need from God while questioning His reality.
All your careful people call for what they need
Reiterating the potential waste of time on worship without tangible returns.
What if you're not real?
Repeating the doubt about God's existence and the lack of returns from worship.
And we're wasting all of the precious time we have on worship
Emphasizing the urgency of time and the potential futility of worship.
When we're getting nothing back
Reiterating the lack of tangible returns from worship.
Martyr!
Introducing the term "Martyr" as a symbolic figure facing potential consequences.
What if I'm wrong? (There's no way to take it back)
Repeating the fear of irreversible consequences if wrong.
Fairy tales in a parlor with a basket filled with dollars
Reiterating the setting of fairy tales and wealth as a means to cope with frustration.
A way to vent frustration
Repeating the idea of buying salvation as a way to address frustration.
Maybe we buy salvation
Repeating the doubt about one's beliefs and the potential consequences of being wrong.
What if I'm wrong?
Repeating the uncertainty and fear of being wrong.
What if I'm wrong...
Reiterating the fear of facing dire consequences in an apocalyptic scenario if wrong.
I'll burn in an apocalyptic realm
Repeating the anticipation of burning in an apocalyptic realm as a consequence of being wrong.
I'll burn in an apocalyptic realm
-I'll burn (I'll Burn)
Repeating the declaration of burning in an apocalyptic realm.
I'll burn (I'll Burn)
