He went back to the drug and was hiding it. He wanted and desired to live good and do good, but could never get to where he wanted to be. He tried hard to live righteously but his wall of shame, and guilt was like an elephant on his back. and I believe that once he faced and admitted his sins, took responsibility for his choices and faced his consequences, knew them, accepted them. Put himself into a year long christian rehab program in Ft Meyers Fla, St. After listening to it, it helps me maybe understand what he would have been feeling. I never heard of this group and I wanted to see why this song. My son posted this song on his fb page right before he died. In my opinion, this is a relatively spot-on assessment of how many people act, when it comes to moral righteousness, regardless of whether or not God was included. Then eventually your own immorality will have ran you so far down that you can no longer escape from the repercussions and at that point, the artist suggests that he believes it is too late to repent.

He is suggesting that the audience has committed these unrighteous acts for a while now and has been running from their repercussions. This is him addressing the audience (not including God). This is his statement letting the audience, including God, know that he has brought someone else along with him down a path that seems to be unrighteous.ĭo you dare to look him right in the eyes?" It seems he may be feeling guilt about something he has done or is about to do (possibly with others). That response is, "we get what we deserve".
He is directing this question towards God, but since God is not in his head, he gets his "mind's response".
It seems this is a rhetorical question he is asking himself in his head. "Oh Father tell me, do we get what we deserve? The beauty of music resides in the fact that music is art and can be interpreted in many lights.
