He's a Christian, so why would he write something blasphemous?! The atheist guy at the top of the comments page needs to get his facts straight and should show a little respect towards others who might not share the same beliefs. Being Chistian is possibly the least cowardly thing you can do. For those who can't see that it's against Religion | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/2/09 This song is one of my favourites as an athiest. He's not, for one, trying to reach out to anyone. Jesse is one the most influential writers of our time and this song is about the downside of religion. 'Jesus Christ, i'm alone again. What did you do those three days you were dead?' amazing allusion to the fact that, in a rhetorical sense, seriously, what did he do those three days? Cos sacrficing himself has not solved all the problems which, as he mentions, have lasted longer than just a weekend. 'I swear i'll try to nail you back up?' Yeah, cos Jesus is gonna want to hear something like that. Sure, it's about sadness and regret, but in the long run this whole religious concept of how we revert to our faith in times of need, is for cowards who can't accept the fact that GOD DOES NOT EXIST. Now, i have no proof that he doesnt, making me Agnostic (Without Knowledge), but i have yet to hear any coherent arguments to support his exsistence. I have not been proved wrong. Jesse is no coward, you can tell from his writing. Peacex my interp | Reviewer: jesse | 3/30/09 i think this song is about how he is dieing and trying to find peace with God. he obviously is depressed and is asking God how he got through all his torture and pain. and then he wants to know if he will get to heaven even after repenting. he reflects on how one might get to heaven or if there even is one anyway, thats what i got to say. love the song!! anonymous | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/17/09 I just reckon this. He who made these lyrics was ready for war with someone, or something. All the songs found on this CD are profound. And I'm pretty sure it's tied to religion 'cause of Limousine. Seeing a sad messiah in the choir isn't religious? Or making even more relevance by counting to 7. "One'll love you so much, do me a favor....Seven'll love you so much...." Besides that, these songs are incredible, inspirational, and admirable. Its a struggle | Reviewer: Ryan not the same one | 3/16/09 This song is clearly about a struggle of some sort in his heart and soul. What that struggle is no one knows but him. I personally found this song very helpful in my time of weakness. It makes you think about what is gonna happen. And by far my favorite line in the song is " Jesus Christ Im not scared to die Im a little bit scared of what comes after". That says something big!!! But all in all this is a great song about Jesse's struggle inside himself. Which goes to the title of the album. The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me. There is good and evil inside all of us. Some of us just choose to observe the battle and question things about it. We are only human, and " We all got wood and nails and we're tongue tied to this hate factory". That is wat the lyrics actually say. Not "we all got wood and nails and we talk dirt at the hatting factories". I mean come on did that really make sense in someone head? AwesomeSong. | Reviewer: Andrew | 3/16/09 To that religious guy under me - the bible mentions "faith" so much because without it no logical person would believe in a magical fairy and thats no way to make money for the church! As for the song - it isn't about God at all obviously. It's all about the demons everyone holds inside em, I reckon anyway. Fear of death too I guess. The devil and God rage in all of us. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/1/09 To me this song isn't about suicide or blasphemy or anything contradictory about christianity or Jesus Christ. In a way this song applies to everyone. Believers, non believers, the spiritual but not religious, the curious in the like. I'm a firm believer in Jesus Christ saved by grace through faith. And heaven is my reward for accepting the ultimate gift that Jesus Christ gave to me. Everlasting Life. But even though I am a follower of Christ and one of his children doesn't mean I don't have doubts. If we didn't have doubts then why would FAITH be mentioned so often in His word? It's all about trust and faith in Him and the Bible is our reminder. A life of repentance and the strive to live out His purpose even though we don't always know what it is is our purpose. We dont always understand and at that moment is when we begin to question Him. Being of the world 'me and you' no one is the 'pure perfection' Christ was and with that being said it is reasonable to say that NO ONE not even his chosen people here on earth can comprehend HIS divine purpose and plan we can only live like He did and in His time he will reveal to us what He wants us to know. For the lost, the non believers, and those that are weak in their walk with Christ even those that live for Him in all that they do it is so easy to feel as if we fall short of the glory of God and to be 'scared' of the consequences because we are not divinity. We are human and sin is our mark. We are all born children of God but we are also born into a world of sin. The rest is history. Listen to the song and re evaluate your life. It doesnt matter who you are or what you believe. God is. This song is about real life and human thought. The mystique about life after death for the untrusting and the trusting. As a christian I believe that Christ was born into this world to save us from our sins. He also died like one of us. And I want you all to know that God is a just and LOVING GOD because in his last dying breaths he said 'FORGIVE THEM FATHER FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO' in reference to him and being crucified on the cross and those that tortured and persecuted them. We are not perfect but our goal should be to live like Christ. That is all that we can do. And at some point in time we will all fall short. But there is ALWAYS hope if you live like heaven matters. The only thing I don't agree with in this song is when he says he will die alone. The holy spirit is always with us. And EVERY SINGLE DAY IS A BATTLE OF GOOD AND EVIL. Okay... | Reviewer: Mallory | 2/23/09 To Ryan. I am a christian who DOES read their Bible (You made a statement that most don't even read it. And I certainly do agree with that. It's lame.) You obviously read it as well. However, I don't think Jesse is being condescending at all towards christianity. That's just how he writes. It's how he's always written music. He uses the name Jesus Christ so much because he's calling out to Him, much like you or I would do in times of desperation and need. Jesse's never really been someone of faith, but he's actually said that he's become really curious. He wants to know Jesus, but he's hesitant because he was "such a bad sinner" that he didn't know if it would even matter. Which, all christians know, that all you have to do is repent of your sins, live with the consequences, and strive to live like Jesus did. You'll fail, but you should try. He's just learning that. And I don't think he's mocking anyone in this song. It's just him getting out his curiosity. Once again, Jesse's always been a "downer" writer. You can't really expect a Brand New song to be all "yayayayay". It's just not going to happen. And the part about "nailing Jesus back up" is clarified in the line before it. "I'm scared I'll get scared and I swear I'll try to nail You back up." He's scared that he'll fall away from the christian faith and mess up and sin again and what not, but he swears he'll try his hardest to come back to it. "Nailing Him back up" being metaphorical for refocusing himself on God. Sure, some of the lyrics are a bit blunt and maybe things christians "wouldn't say" but, as I've stated, that's Jesse for you. But, I do respect your view on the song. and maybe you are right. I just don't necessarily agree with you. As it's been said, everyone interprets songs differently. You obviously think he's being sarcastic and mean about the faith, I don't. To each his own, I guess. :) my 2 cents | Reviewer: Tully91 | 2/17/09 to me, the meaning of this song is quite simple. it is about a man who is dying and is reflecting upon his life, his sins, his mistakes, reflecting on the fact the end is near and he will die alone. it's about him reaching out for faith, to try and believe that there is something after. sorry no. | Reviewer: lex | 2/13/09 --->this goes to the person who said it's called "jesus" not "jesus christ". . . you're wrong. i have the cd. on the back and in the inside of cover it's titled, "jesus christ" anyway. good song. :D Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9    10   Next 10 Pages
