It criticizes the way of the church (penance) and the way of society (their reaction to rogues), and thanks those who do not follow the examples our society gives us. In those two lines, it really became obvious to me what the song is about. LIBERATION: The act or process of trying to achieve equal rights and status. Then comes "Songs of liberation echo from the dust." In the song, he drops penance (which is in a locket) from the highest floor, and watches it as it shatters into a million pieces. Those who are looked down upon or criticized by society are the ones who will later change our society.Ī punishment undergone in token of penitence for sin.Īn act of self-mortification or devotion performed voluntarily to show sorrow for a sin or other wrongdoing.Ī sacrament in some Christian churches that includes contrition, confession to a priest, acceptance of punishment, and absolution. I think Brandon chose rogues because most people would relate a negative connotation with them, but the fact that people do that is the whole point of the song. This line is basically saying enough with bowing to things that will ultimately disappoint and that are deceiving, misleading, foundering, etc. While they may be referencing evolution/creationism, i think its more so as a theme of the main idea. It’s too good, too good, not to have an effect! Hats off & applause to rogues & evolution! When it hits ground I watch it smash to pieces. It’s too good, too good, not to have an effect.Īn ear to the track & penance in a locket If you’re not affected, you’re not paying attention! The ripple effect is too good not to mention. Buried to my neck in sand.Įnough, enough bowing down to disillusion! Hats off & applause to rogues & evolution! Into a brave new world where all solutions end up with my head. & the present in my pocket/just in case I need a door… I’m keeping an eye on the future/an eye on the past
