He says it pretty explicitly. "I will die all alone. And when I arrive I won't know anyone." He fears that his loneliness on this Earth will be matched in heaven. This is such an honest song. I'm sure what he says many (myself included) feel. "I know you think that I’m someone you can trust But I’m scared I’ll get scared and I swear I’ll try to nail you back up" The impending End that is supposed to be joyous is terrifying for those struggling. They may find themselves praying for the inevitable to be postponed. Here Jesse is warning Jesus that when he returns he is afraid that he won't be ready to except him and will try to nail him back up to the cross. --- | Reviewer: Chris | 8/5/08 Well everyone has interesting points. The song is most certainly questioning what comes after and if he will get to see what's after. He doesn't know, so it scares him. We as humans are scared of what we don't know. Now this whole Christian bit. I think that if you are truely a Christian and have that relationship with God then you will know exactly what comes next. I think many of us though are afraid we're gonna mess up along our way and hurt ourselves, I sure am. I think that if you ask God for help He'll give it, He wants to. But I think alot of us that do ask are also afraid that we're going to miss his help. That I won't know what it is when it comes. So I think that's the basis of this song. opinion | Reviewer: Frank | 7/30/08 personally ive taken a deep look into this song for over a year now. Remember this is only my opinion dont critic it just enjoy it or be on with yourself. This song is about Jesse not only questioning life after death but also realizing what obstacles are in the way of achieving everlasting life in heaven. He mentions at one point "does Thomas ask to see my hands" specifically in reference to whether all of his lifes sins will come back to haunt him, basically will they do a background check on his lifes sins. The one line however that truely gets me and if you take anything from this paragraph it should be this. The line "we all got wood and nails." My opinion on this line has changed once, I used to believe that it meant that everyday by not leading a good christian life like Jesus planned for us to do, we crucify Jesus. However, after some deep thought i realized i was wrong and its not Jesus tat we crucify every day by not leading a good life, what does he care our actions do not affect him. We crucify ourselves metaphorically and destroy our relationships weve created here on earth but more importantly our chances of being let in to heaven. review | Reviewer: Allison | 7/29/08 If you are truly a Christian you wont be afraid of life after death because you know were you'll be and if you don't know read your Bible the answer is there... And yes God wants to solve all of your problems every single one of them he doesn't want you to solve any of them on your own, just how your mother was when you were young... It's obvious he just wants answers like any normal human and there is thousands of people who can give them the answer but they are to busy judging them to even listen to their questions... Just truly ask God for answers and he will give them to u how u least imagine... Peace... The Answer | Reviewer: Josh | 6/20/08 The title of the album, The devil and God are Raging Inside Me, is not the thought of quesitoning faith. Rather, if you were to read anything about Jesse Lacey or this album, the title comes from a famous song writer who was schizophrenic on the worst possible level. He was also bi-polar. Research before you make conclusions. An outside view | Reviewer: Ken | 5/27/08 Being non denomination, I can view this song in it's simplest form. It states the one thing all humans (Christian, Buddist, Catholic, or Other) try to find the answer to. Is there something more then here and now, and if so what is it. I think it also begs to ask the question, If you are there Jesus then why do I feel so alone in this world. Remember faith is something you have not something you follow. Its not what you believe but simply that you believe in something. Don't let religion dictate what you believe or what you should have faith in and you will not feel so all alone. Im not preaching against religion, to each his own. Just except the song for what it is, a beautifull piece. ... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/23/08 It's not contradictory at all, and I find it a bit stupid that you're saying that. "Just saying that in response to some reviews where people claim to be Christians yet they have no idea what they have to look forward to." It's not that they don't know what they have to look forward to, anyone who's read the bible or believes in God whatever the fuck it is you do, you know what you can look forward to. The song isn't about that it's about actually getting it, not everyone is going to end up in heaven or wherever else you might believe to end up at. I believe in God and this song describes my feelings perfectly, fact of the matter is that even though I believe and I have faith I don't know for sure if I'll end up in heaven or any place else - it's not the fear of death it's the fear of what comes after. No one knows for sure and it is entirely possible you could end up somewhere bad. I hope that I don't, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a personal fear of mine. ok | Reviewer: Benji | 3/24/08 Being a Christian means you know Jesus(God) or you are getting to know him(and if that's true then you can't wait to be wih him from the little bit you've seen, or the loads you have learned)...Dying means you'll be with him...so...Dying and the afterlife should not be scary if you are a Christian...Just saying that in response to some reviews where people claim to be Christians yet they have no idea what they have to loook forward to. Just seems like a pretty big contradiction. Should probably focus a little more on the relationship and a little less on the religion. jesses just questioning things. | Reviewer: Sabrina | 3/17/08 well like I said, in this whole album "The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me" hes questioning faith, and in this song he questions if there is an after life and what will it be like. I mean we all do it. I'm a christian and..I'm very scared of what it will be like. I agree with that one annoynomous review, its a plea, Jesus if your there than give me a sign. and maybe he is saying solve your own problems. even if u are a christian its fine to ask God for help ofcourse but dont expect him to solve every little (or big) problem you have. If you do that, its not that faith screws you over. you screw yourself over. God wants you to learn to solve your own problems, not cuz you dont have faith that God can't, but because you need to learn how to do this, things like this bring you wisdom and knowledge, and God tells you to seek those things. crap. didnt mean to preach to anyone. but w/e thats what I think of this song. I dont think its that hard to figure that out, atleast thats what I see. he's just questioning things, simple. then again who knows, I guess we'll never completely know what he's saying, cuz he wrote it. maybe somewhere theres a video where he explains what the albums about.:) Its not a "Christian" Song! | Reviewer: Chris | 3/9/08 sure its called jesus christ but the line what did you do the three days you were dead because this problem is gonna last more than the weekend. is saying that why should you rely on christ to solve all your problems it means solve your own fuckin problems!!! this is not even close to a christian rock song its a song about faith and how it fucks you over sometimes and also it questions if there is an afterlife!!
