Lyrics
Jesus save the jesus freaks
Expressing a plea for salvation for those deeply devoted to Jesus.
Some nights i bleed right through the sheets
Describing emotional distress, possibly bleeding metaphorically through tough times.
And through to the ceiling underneath
Continuing the depiction of emotional pain, reaching from the sheets to the ceiling.
Jesus save the jesus freaks
Repeating the plea for salvation for passionate Jesus followers.
Heaven help this heavy heart
Seeking divine help for a heavy heart before a social gathering.
Help it empty out before the party starts
Asking for assistance in releasing emotions before a party begins.
And will you help me fill this hollow head
Requesting help to fill an empty or hollow mind.
Have you guts to spill
Questioning if there is the courage to express one's innermost feelings.
Have you hopes to spend?
Wondering if there are aspirations or dreams to pursue.
I don't believe that you're really so unconcerned
Expressing skepticism about someone appearing indifferent or unconcerned.
Can't you see how the cloud of our dominion billows and burns!
Highlighting the impact of human dominance and its consequences.
If you are patient i'll save you a place in the sun
Promising a place for someone patient in a better situation.
Everyone's famous here, everyone praises everyone
Observing a culture where everyone is celebrated and praised.
Jesus save the jesus freaks
Reiterating the plea for salvation for passionate Jesus followers.
Mother never told me there'd be days like these
Reflecting on unexpected and challenging days, not forewarned by one's mother.
And God bless the child who's got his own greed
Blessing a child who possesses self-sufficiency rather than excessive greed.
Jesus save the jesus freaks
Repeating the plea for salvation for passionate Jesus followers.
I don't believe that you're really in head-splitting pain
Expressing doubt about someone claiming severe mental pain.
And if it's true i'm confused--why we are hosting this party again?
Questioning the rationale behind hosting a party amidst confusion or suffering.
When you are wasted you'll laugh in my face 'til i'm numb
Describing a situation where laughter in the face of the intoxicated seems insincere.
Everyone's racist here, everyone prays for everyone
Noting a prevalent atmosphere of racism and universal prayers.
Hey--mea culpa
Admitting guilt or fault (mea culpa).
Hey--mea culpa
Repeating the acknowledgment of guilt or fault.
Mea culpa. mea culpa. mea culpa. mea culpa
Continuing to express guilt or fault (mea culpa).
