The true definition of a martyr is: A person who is killed because of their religious or other beliefs (some online dicitonary, for a citaiton). Suggesting that "we'll come and find you" is quite threatening because while we all know what a martyr is and use it metaphorically to describe hardships where you feel as though you have completely sacrificed yourself, you haven't sacrificed your life! So, "if we want a martyr, we'll come and find you, done before you started, you're dead in the water" could mean that the person who claims to be the ultimate "authority" has never really sacrificed themselves for the crowd. Sure, "walk on farther out to sea" most certainly pertains to jesus walking on water, but water also represents baptismal as a sacramental rite to cleanse the body and soul of sin. Often times such people are expemt from accountability which is why the song is a bit more sisnister, I think, than their others. Is the burden of "proof" on the audience or the person with authority? I believe the latter as it is the responsibility of that person (in a leadership role) to have 's best interest in mind. (any person in an authoritative role, basically) and especially if all of our eggs are in one basket (like the person with sincere faith in god who truly belives the televangelist). We are born trusting our parents, our teachers, ect. This ability to trust without hesitation is deeply ingrained into our psyche. Even George Bush could fall into category the finger pointing and "damnation" theme that 10 Years employs is exceptional! I believe that anyone who accepts a leadership role natrually has "authority" over their audience, the majority of which natrually trusts what the leader is imparting. While most certainly they are implicating the swindler "televangelist," there are also others they cover quite precicely in this song. Still, who is accountable? The believer, or the Faker? However, they are dependant upon man to cure them when it's even been scientifically proven that the placebo effect is real. Often times the people who make contributions/donations are very poor and suffer some sort of ailment with great faith in god and hope that "god's messenger" could somehow bestow upon them some sort of reprieve or miracle. "Televangelists" prey on the weak and leave them with their unresolved issues. What is Hell? It’s being unable to love.I would have to agree with the lyric corrections, but would also like to add "pray for the weak and lead the herd" sounds much like "prays for the weak and leaves the hurt," which would have much more of an impact. The deeper the grief the closer you are to God” “The darker the night the brighter the stars When the sun comes up I can see the faults and fill them in I always listen to sad songs in the morning so it gets better than this This connection feels like it’s too much but that’s just the price you pay for love I let my lungs fill up I’m choking on you So I’ll dive down into hell, don’t bother wishing me well Will this anxiety always have its hold on me?
I’ve been reading my horoscope hoping it will help me cope So what does that mean for me cause I’ve been mining for salt in an empty sea
