Reviews for Jesus Christ Lyrics

as in... it's really just a song. why are you all debating about it? it's just some exquisetly written lyrics about god? jesus? life? anything? why does it really matter? everyone is either so biblical about it or on the other side of the argument. whatever it may be about just accept it for the song it is, only he who wrote it will know exactly what it meant to them. in that place adnd at that time.

Go kill yourself if you say that's an emo song, please :).

I think Jesse used these words for writing the song consciously. So the lyrics has a religious meaning, but, it can be considereted like a metaphor too and, anyway, it says something about what comes after dying.

Brand New lyrics are simply awesome, all them. And the music is really great too. Not in vain BN is one of my favourite bands! This song is just PERFETC, 'cause you can interpret it as you want.

To me the person is definately talking on a spiritual level. The verse that sticks out to me the most is where he thinks he will stick Jesus back on the cross because he doesnt believe he is good enough to be forgiven for who he is and what he has done. Before any person can call themselves a Christian (a true one) they must understand that apart from Christ they are capable of the worst and most importantly humble themselves. to e this is very clear. "We all got wood and nails tied to a hate factory". Poetry. God Bless all.

"There IS relegious meaning behind this song, pick up the fucking bible you fucking idiots. God, lol it's people like you I want to just fucking punch in the face. Yeah, go pick up a bible, and idk, um, READ IT! Jesus will come in the night like a theif and take all the people he needs, so you wont even know, and the world end. Yeah i'm not even going to try to explain, because it would be pointless trying to explain to you ignorant people. DEE DEE DEEEEE idiots."

reference to a well-known person place or thing = allusion.

look it up.

just because he mention the act of God coming in the night and taking people into heaven still doesn't mean the song has anything to do with God or Jesus Christ. you're a bigger idiot for trying to tell us what the song means instead of giving rationale input. so next time you come across these things, resist the urge to type in the text box. kthanks.

but anyway, i think that its just varies allusions to the bible to make it an even more greater piece of writing. the bible in itself is a majestic piece of literature and that statement holds no bias cause im atheist. but off topic.

beautiful song. i love it.

I tried to think of a single word that would describe how incredible this song is but I dont think even a million words could desrcibe how great this song is... what i dont understand is why everybody is arguing about the message this song is tryin to bring across. its a great fuckin song just enjoy it. however you interpret this song is your own perception. Yea the writer intended on a certain message to be brought out but fuck if someone wants to perceive the message differentely then just let em. as long as you enjoy the song and understand the concept yourself then its all good, right? i guess im wrong because people these days are egotistical ass holes and have to be right about everything. Just chill out and be cool=]. easier said then done but im tired of idiots wasting time and effort just to prove someone else wrong or just to feel like your superior then someone else just so you can get your "fix" for the moment. Its whatever though im just listenin to this song right now, relaxed as can be, and ready for the song to end so i can listen to it again.

i don't think it has any religous meaning what so ever...

if you look at the lyrics i think it is your typical emo song...

another one of there songs using lyrics to describe a girl "

Your lack of intellect bothers me. How can you even see an "emo" song about some girl. Evidently he's talking to a higher being, in this case, Jesus Christ. There is a ton of biblical references implying that he's not talking about some girl that breaks his heart, it goes beyond that.

Not all songs are about a girl that breaks another boys heart of vice versa. Great writers know meaning goes far beyond that.

Is everything that is even slightly thought-provoking these days considered emo?

"Oh, he felt something! OMIGOSH, HE'S AN EMO FAG! LET'S THROW ROCKS AT HIM!"

Seriously, let's be a little mature now. -rolls eyes-

Anyway, I agree with some people that this song is about purgatory, possibly? Or the passage to the afterlife. Overall, I think it's just a beautiful and well composed song and I could listen to it for weeks on end, and just this song. I also think it's like he's trying to talk to Jesus himself, like he's either questioning his own beliefs or questioning why Jesus went through what he went through.

That's just my take on it.

There IS relegious meaning behind this song, pick up the fucking bible you fucking idiots. God, lol it's people like you I want to just fucking punch in the face. Yeah, go pick up a bible, and idk, um, READ IT! Jesus will come in the night like a theif and take all the people he needs, so you wont even know, and the world end. Yeah i'm not even going to try to explain, because it would be pointless trying to explain to you ignorant people. DEE DEE DEEEEE idiots.

ps. Cale explained it perfectly, 'nuff said. Good job, now if maybe some of these idiots read what Cale said, they wouldn't call it an "emo song"...stfu, are you serious? An emo song? Lol go kill yourself. :]

Just because the song is titled Jesus Christ and it has a lot of references to the Bible doesn't mean that it has this whole religious background everyone is looking into.

In this song, Jesus Christ is a metaphor. I thought it would be mentioned since lyrics are just a form of poetry and a metaphor is a poetic device. For example the first two lines: Jesus Christ that's a pretty face; the kind you'd find on someone that could save
Think about it, everytime someone of of a religous background views the face of Jesus, they think of some kind of sacrificial martyr that could save someone or something.

For example, the line that goes: and at the gates, does thomas ask to see my hands.
it doesn't mean, yea when i get up there, they can tell if i sinned or not. it symbolizes the work and doings of one person cause you do everything with you hands. your hands a evidence that you have done something.

the last verse talks about the subject's tendency to betray. what's being said is that, "hey, i know you believe you can trust me, but as soon as you turn around, i will stick a knife in your back" thus the line "but im scared i'll get scared and i swear i'll try to nail you back up"

but all devices aside, its one of the many beautiful songs that Jesse has written. it just shows off how beautifully he can gather words.

All of you have great opinions. Btw cale, thanks for decifering all of the bible references and adding your perspective on the song. I thought it was great. But i have to say that in an interview, when asked the meaning behind this song, Jesse said something about his friens dying in a car accident and this made him think about how he feels he hasnt led a "faithful" life and his doubt and anxiety about the afterlife.

look this song is just a song that song good an it doesnt mean shit if u Christian an accept Christ then u save an people who didnt accept Christ doesnt get 2 enjoy da gospel

Most Christians go through this stage of questioning if they are truly believers. God doesnt give us all the answers, because i dont think we would understand them. These are good questions- am i good enough? does my dark smother the light?

The christian answer is that JESUS' light smothers your dark. we have reason to question and wonder, and even be scared sometimes. but God, Jesus Christ will not for sake us no matter WHAT evil we may do. everyone is evil sometimes, no one is rightous, and to which extent you're one or the other, that DOESNT MATTER TO GOD. thats straight out of Romans and Hebrews, read those books.

so yeah thats pretty much the christian answer, i believe.

for me this song is about some one that is questioning his beliefs. this song reminds me of myself.

i was raised catholic and i have thought about dying and what comes after. its very confussing to think about this because all the major religions say that there is a heaven but some say reincarnation

and i think that this song is mostly about doubting what you believe and who you are
