Brett: "The vibe that I'm trying to give is like, if you've ever been in a room and the air conditioner's humming. You don't notice it, of course, because it's a constant hum. Then it turns off and you suddenly notice how quiet it is because it went away. That's the generator; it's just behind everything. It's funny, God and spirituality has been the central conflict of my entire life” I’d imagine blood on the door has to do with Passover etc

A ti se nisi sa Punk muzikom intenzivnije i vise upoznala,ono sto si prvo cula nije ti bilo zanimljivo,nije ti se svidjelo i automatski si to prekrizila...
@babydre131 The song was written by Brett Gurewitz, who considers himself a non-practicing, non-denominational deist... basically, he believes "something higher than mankind". This song is basically a hypothetical answer to his belief in 'god'. As in... god is something you would only notice if it went away... like the whirring of an air conditioner, the cold in the refrigerator, or a "generator". Something that is a creator, but never suffers mankind's lives directly.
it's a song about being afraid to leave your comfort zone; probably agoraphobia; definitely not about a murder The first stanza, the guy is stoic. Like a rock - he's not moving. Like a Planet - he's REALLY not moving - like a fucking atom bomb - all that mass is becoming a dangerous force. The second stanza, he's depressed - possibly because nothing can make him feel? He's seen it all before - from the first movements of life (in an orgy) to the end of life. It's illustrating his situation, plumbing the depths of his stoicism. The hummingbird and the ugly laughing man are things behind the window. There's a world outside that is being analyzed, calculated through the window. The ugly man (a person he should be superior to) is laughing. This ugly person is doing something he can't. Blood on the door? All I can think of is Passover, the blood protects your house from the angel of death. Ergo - he's afraid of something outside! Something is keeping him inside. He's afraid to go outside and there's a world out there he only sees through the window. But the blood keeps out the bad things (in passover) but if he washes it, it will still be there. This is cool because if you wash it - it will run. It doesn't get clean. He can't leave. He's trapped by this fear. Wash me clean and I will run until I reach the shore - is also a nice play on words! If he could only escape he would run away!! Washing him clean, probably means helping him overcome his fears which are trapping him inside. I've known it all along - The next 3 things are witnessed by their action. You know they are there, but you can't see them. Well, except for actors - you know they're not real, but you can see them - so, I suppose that's a reverse description. The hammer by the window is a means of escape (breaking the window). The knife on the floor is a means to escape (suicide). He's only got two options if he wants his situation to change. I think the turbines in darkness suggests the power to do something is constantly working. He's motivated to do something. He's tormented! the blood on the door is his protection, but because he's scared to go out it's also his lock. The generator is his will to act. Stifled by his prison.
Every time, just every time, someone writes "0 dislikes" etc. there are immediately some dislikes. If you want the song to has no dislikes, then just don't write it :) (troll nature...)
Despite being Dutch I grew up in my early teens with bands like these who strangely never made it that far to the mainstream but to me they were better than good Charlotte or blink 182
Yes, yes. Dislikes are always in videos that are popular, so I'm saying "it's your fault" ;) But it's kinda irony or trolling I've noticed, that every time someone writes "no dislikes" someone else finds to do the first one... And I don't care too ;)
