| "Burning a candle at both ends" is an idiom that means someone stays up late into the night and wakes up very early in the morning. This is often used for people who work way too many hours. That is why I feel this song is being critical of corporate society. These people who strive for the top of these capitalist nations gain great satisfaction from their successful educations/careers and love themselves for it while looking down on the people they deem below them. Along the way they have made many life sacrifices but their money "softens the blows" (unhappiness as they age). They do not want to be punished for all of the terrible things in their lives that they have done which are common to big business. Playing the politics game and also crushing the little people to rid the competition and make more money. Also, the drugs, gambling, and promiscuity that are associated with wealth. Finally after all of the years they are alone. They lost their real friends. They never had the time to have a successful marriage or children. | |

| I'm pretty sure that the line, "You wait twenty years" is actually "You WASTE twenty years". Makes more sense, no? I don't know what this song is specifically about, but I get the general gist of it. He must be pretty pissed off. Lol, obviously, eh? | |

| It's some sort of illicit relationship anyway, not necessarily homosexual. The ultimate agnostic's chorus: And we'll *pray* that there's no God to punish us... Love it. | |

| Although it's probably not, I really like to believe this song is about a gay/lesbian relationship. "Breathe in deep, and cleanse away our sins And we'll pray that there's no God To punish us and make a fuss " Well, that's what I think anyway. | |

| i think perhaps that the song is talking about war... the first verse could be talking to the government, and using a sort of sarcasm, like hes mocking the government... 'Your self-loving soothes And softens the blows you've invented' the 2nd, 4th and 5th verses could be talking about the soldier getting ready and plunging onto the battlefield and as hes fighting, hes thinking these verses. he knows what hes doing is wrong, and is 'praying' that there is no God to punish him for what hes done. 'Us' could mean soldiers plural. the 3rd verse could be hes talking to the government again, and that the world is starting to forget the war. 'future soul forgive this mess' could be that hes hoping that the future generations would forgive their ancestors. 'You wait twenty years And wind up alone, demented' could be saying that the future generations will have advanced in their views of how to solve things, and they havn't forgiven the government to starting the war, therefore the government will end up alone and their views seem demented in the eyes of the future generation. very good song, love the irony as well | |

| No I totally think I get this song. I personally believe it's a statement on society's grasp for shallow things derived from their personal miseries canned into a directive outburst to a hypothetical person. For instance: The specific amount of people who indulge themselves for the sake of satiating their own greedy selfish, shallow selves is overwhelming. "Burning a candle at both ends" indicates the adaptive nature of one who grasps opportunities. The chorus' first line is the desire or hypothetical idea for change whilst the additional lines is more of a statement in hope that God didn't take these indulgences into dreadful consideration, if there was. Lastly the second verse indicates that, like psychology would dictate, that the longer you utilize a certain behavior, the more normal in our own psychosis it becomes, whether we enjoy it or not. So it's basically saying towards the end of it that by their own destructive behavior, ultimately it becomes their untimely demise. But that's what I think. | |
