I'm also Christian and I love this track. I'm confused because I hear they're satanic, but this track seems oddly Christian to me. Perhaps ignorance is bliss and I'll continue to hear it in the positive light that I precieve it in.

@Greg's Gaming you are a fan...but have only heard they are satanic? Have you listened to he is?...or little sunshine...how about year zero?...have you seent heir costumes...the inverted crosses?...I mean, I know people hear what they want and have the right to take whatever meaning they want to take from the music they listen to...but to completely change the concept of a band and their music in order to justify listening to them...do you I guess...but at least be honest with you. You're a fan of a very openly satanic band with heavy satanic views and messages in their songs and theatrics...its OK to be tempted to the darkness, it's a cool place to burn ;)

@@madderbob100 Ghost's lyrics are deliberately vague. I think it's Play with the Sire (God, The Father) but it could also say Asiyah, an Islamic level of Heaven. Corrupt religious leaders use Heaven to bait their followers into obedience, bug they ALSO tend to use God, the Father as their tool, claiming that God has decreed something the leader wants. Like wealth. According to the Kabbalah: Asiyah is the lowest of the spiritual worlds containing the Ten Heavens and the whole system of mundane Creation.

Been trying to find out why this songs called griftwood. The songs about people that do horrible things but preach the Bible so they think they're all good. I Found a grifter is a swindler or a con artist. But where does the wood part come in? Is it just driftwood but with grift instead, anybody know?
@migduh 2 жыл бұрын
I have been wondering that too. Perhaps the grifter in question is just kind of listlessly staying afloat without any real sense of direction other than what his sugar daddy wants, as a piece of driftwood is subservient to the tides of the ocean. That’s my headcanon anyway.
