| Probably the most depressing song in the world. While listening to it, I want to rape children and kill myself. | |

| The dirt line is saying that there is no real afterlife in heaven, I think. Life ends with death. The needle's could either refer to drug use or just a very small halo (i.e., Target Audience, "and my halo was a needle hole) signifying a small amount of morality, or a cruel angel. | |

| The mary-whore is an ironic expression. It refers to the Holy Grail. | |

| this song is written for us to know that when we die, we are burried in a perfect place in the sun. all the darkness of life is then no more. in the end people forget about the dead, so the shadow of memories remains over our grave in the sun in the dirt. | |
