[edit] Meaning?=
Just curious. Does anyone have any idea what this song is referring to? I suppose it's something obvious to someone here. It almost sounds like it's describing some sort of apocalypse such as the book of revelations, in a very militaristic way ("we'll watch them fall", "we will smoke them"). And yet something tells me Mr. Lovesexy Symbol is not exactly a Rapture-hoping evangelical member of the 700 Club... so what the hell *does* this weirdass song mean? -Kasreyn 10:12, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Meaning
I believe it does have to do with the apocolypse. Even though it seems he is referring to individuals, there are the 7 seals. Also, I think the song is supposed to convey that the world will not be devestated as Revalations says. This would be against what is widely believed. I think that is the reason for the line "Before us Animosity will stand and decree, we speak not of love only blasphemy." However the song mentions a plague and a river a blood and then a new city with streets paved of gold....this may represent the reign of Christ after Judgement Day. I heard once that he wrote 1999 because he believed it would be Judgement Day. Then he retired the song after the world made it into 2000. Don't know if there is any truth to that though.
