Unveiling Hypocrisy: A Musical Critique on Faith and Self-Deception
Lyrics
Read what your bible says and practice what you preach
Encouragement to read and follow the teachings of the Bible
The taste of bullshit in-between your teeth
Criticism of insincerity or hypocrisy, comparing it to a bad taste
You'd take it back if you really gave a damn
Suggesting regret if genuine concern existed
But it doesn't matter now and you don't know who I am
Indifference towards the speaker by the person in question
Read what your bible says and practice what you preach
Reiteration of the importance of aligning actions with biblical teachings
The weight of fools gold in-between your teeth
Comparing insincerity to the weight of worthless material
It doesn't matter what you say or think
Disregarding the significance of words or thoughts
No it doesn't matter now, no it never meant a thing
Confirmation that past actions or words held no value
And you've got your animosity
Reference to the presence of hostility or strong dislike
A thousand prophets at your feet
Symbolic mention of followers or admirers
And a head full of chemistry
Reference to a knowledgeable mind influenced by substances
And you black out all the empty words
Ignoring meaningless or empty expressions
There's nothing left but nouns and verbs and an empty set of eyes
Reduced to basic elements—nouns, verbs, and vacant eyes
Jump in the river, try to cleanse your soul
Suggestion to seek spiritual purification by immersing in a river
The tide will wash away our filthy words
The cleansing power of time erasing hurtful words
The preachers praying and you need his grace
A religious figure's prayer for divine grace
It won't save a wretch like me
Doubt about salvation, feeling unworthy
I won't see the pearly gates
Expressing skepticism about entering heaven
Read what your bible says and practice what you preach
Reiteration of the importance of biblical teachings
The taste of bullshit in-between your teeth
Repeating the analogy of insincerity to a bad taste
It doesn't matter what you say or think
Emphasizing the insignificance of words or thoughts
No it doesn't matter now, no it never meant a thing
Reaffirming the lack of importance in past actions or words
And you've got your animosity
Restating the presence of hostility or strong dislike
A thousand prophets at your feet
Repeating the symbolic reference to followers or admirers
And a head full of chemistry
Reiteration of a knowledgeable mind influenced by substances
And Oh, the world it trembles 'neath your feet
Describing the impact of the person on the world
Like puzzle pieces glued so neat
Metaphorically describing a harmonious existence
You've got it all so who needs me
Expressing the person's self-sufficiency, not needing others
Take all your medicine and lose a lot of sleep
Advising to endure hardships and take prescribed remedies
The weight it cracks your chest but you don't say a thing
Physical and emotional weight is endured silently
It's turning colder but you never go outside
Choosing isolation despite changing circumstances
No, it doesn't matter now
Reiteration of the lack of significance in past actions or words
No, it's all a bunch of lies
Declaring skepticism or disbelief in presented truths
