| While there are some biblical refferences on this cd, you bible thumpers take it a bit too far at times. The 2nd point is legitimate but the first in no way assists the meaning of the song. | |

| Just because he's a Christian doesn't mean that he sings about the bible in every song. I'm Christian, I don't sing about the bible in all my bands songs... most my bands songs I don't actually. Only have the songs on Vheissu, I think, have biblical references. This one, not one of them. | |

| I definitely agree that there are a lot of biblical references. When you have eternity to look forward to, anything you build up on this earth begins to look rather worthless. | |

| Very fair comment dude. I try not to hit the "biblical reference" note too much unless its patently obvious..which it not always is with Thrice's subtle use of metaphors and imagery. Vheissu is a classic example of this as it often insinuates imortant moral values whether Christian or not e.g. "Stand and feel your worth, oh my soul.."/"Hold fast Hope!" promotes a great message regardless of its base (theological or not). So I guess I'm agreeing that we shouldn't automatically hit the Bible button if a line has a morally positive note to it, though some times it is too painstakingly obvious, as in the song "Like Moths to flame". | |

| As stated previously. I believe this has to do with ridding ourselves of being so materialistic. -"So put your faith in more than steel Don't store your treasures up, with moth and rust Where thieves break in and steal Pull the fangs from out your heel" | |

| This song can have many meanings just like any Thrice songs. To me, it's saying that material things never last forever including your body. So instead of living a materialisic life, we should live a more meaningful life not based only on man made things. Kinda like that old proverb "The things you own end up owning you" or somethin. Dustin makes a reference Saturn who is associated with the principles of limitation, restrictions, boundaries, reality, crystallizing and structures. This song is one of my favorites on "Vheissu" | |

| this poem reminds me a lot of "Ozymandias" by Percy Bysshe Shelley.. I met a traveler from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read, Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed, And on the pedestal these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings: Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away. | |

| Best freakin' intro to a song that I have heard in a long,long time. Anyways. I'm surprised nobody referenced buddhism in any way. I'm not exactly all to clear on buddha's teachings or how buddhists run things, but aren't they the antithesis of our modern capitalistic society? For the most part aren't they all humble beings living out simple lives trying to reach oneness with the universe. Sorry, back to my point. I think this song has very strong buddhist connotations. Like many of you have said, this song seems to be about how in the the end all of mankinds seemingly indestructable monuments to itself will be buried and forgotten by time regardless of the material used to create them. Again I just feel this song is more strongly related to buddhist principles than christian ones. | |

| i definately agree that this song is all about perspective, and realising that you are not what you possess, but who you are. | |

| Also, a quote being in the bible does not make the song a biblical reference, many people say "an eye for an eye" that are not believers at all. | |
