Goin to Hell in All Religions
Navigating the Abyss: Unveiling the Universal Struggle
Lyrics
As soon as we're born we stand condemned
From the moment of birth, humanity is destined for condemnation.
To face some final judgement in the end
Everyone will face a final judgment at the end of their lives.
The sins of our father's, the sins of pride
The consequences of the mistakes made by previous generations and the sin of arrogance.
There are people ready to take us for a ride
There are individuals ready to exploit or deceive us.
Someone always wants to let us know
People always want to inform us that we are destined for a negative outcome.
That we're all goin' down below
The belief that we are all headed for an undesirable destination.
Guess we're goin' to hell in all religions
Expressing a resigned acceptance that humanity is destined for trouble in all religious beliefs.
S'posed to be about love, s'posed to be about peace
Religions preach about love and peace, but these seem unattainable until one is in a vulnerable position.
That we can't have until we're down on our knees
Highlighting the difficulty in experiencing love and peace without going through challenging times.
But who can hope and talk about grace
Raising questions about hope and grace in the face of the suffering of a dying child.
And stare into the eyes of a dying child's face
(Empty line)
A friend once joked with me
Recalling a lighthearted moment where a friend joked about the simplicity of life's pleasures.
A bacon cheeseburger is all we need
Connecting the enjoyment of earthly pleasures to condemnation in all religions.
To send us to hell in all religions
(Empty line)
If life is suffering as the Buddhists say
Questioning the rationale behind choosing to reincarnate into a world with suffering.
Why would you want to come back this way
(Empty line)
I studied hard, was sincere about it all
Reference to the belief that only a few are chosen, despite many being called.
That few are chosen though many are called
Expressing frustration about being given a mind that seems unusable.
In the end I was left alone and confused
(Empty line)
Who would give us a mind we can't use
Contemplating the vastness of time and the potential consequences of not adhering to religious beliefs.
As I contemplate the vastness of time
Acceptance of the likelihood of facing negative consequences in all religions.
If not believing is a crime
(Empty line)
I guess I'm goin' to hell in all religions
Final acknowledgment that, according to the speaker's perspective, they are destined for trouble in all religions.
