| though all the world may hate us, we are named though shadow overtake us, we are known we're more than carbon and chemicals we're more than stars and chemicals we can't allow this, the quiet cull we are the image of the invisible we can't allow this, the quiet cull we are the image of the invisible raise up the banner,they'll try to call we are the image of the invisible so we sing out this, our canticle we are the image of the invisible that part lol | |

| I believe this song is about Christians and how we see ourselves in this world. 'Image of the Invisible' refers to Christians as the Image of God. -we're more than carbon and chemicals free will is ours and we can't let go we can't allow this, the quiet cull so we sing out this, our canticle we are the image of the invisible- 1. we are living human beings...not something created in a lab. 2. God gave us free will and we cant abandon that 3. We can allow evil to take over/be drawn into evil/ have christianity fade away 4. we sing this song in protest 5. we are all under the image of God on earth -we all were lost now we are found no one can stop us or slow us down we are all named and we are all known we know that we'll never walk alone- 1. we were lost in the beginning... but Jesus came and guided us/saved us 2. We wont give into evil/sins of the world 3. people know who Christians are 5. God will always be with us to guide us -we're more than static and dial tone we're emblematic of the unknown raise up the banner, bend back your bows remove the cancer, take back your souls we are the image of the invisible- 1. static/dial tone is usually something you hear or see when you pick up the phone... but dont pay attention to. i think he is putting it in terms of christianity saying how it isnt just 'there' 2. we represent God 3 & 4. Get rid of evil/sins in your life 5. because we represent God on earth -though all the world may hate us, we are named though shadow overtake us, we are known- 1. Not alot of people agree with Christianty and most of the world hates it... but they know who we are/what it is 2. I think this line refers to some of the bad rap the 'gay preachers/priests' give to Christianity Just my 2c on the song and what I think it means.:) | |

| i completely agree with pdpdrummer and just to confrim wat he says; in collosians 1:15 it says 'He is the image of the invisible God, the first born over all creation' and the whole thing is trying to explain the supremacy of christ. so yeah we as christians should try to resemble the image of christ or God. thanks cya | |

| "On 'Image of the Invisible,' for example, Kensrue sings about the power of free will and the vast potential of the human spirit." That's how this song is described on the Vheissu biography on Thrice's official site. | |

| yeah darkzeph i think its kool that you have your own opinion like if thats what the song means to you thats kool but to me the song is an anthem for christians but watever it is for you thats kool too. but i really believe that the song is really about christianity like the line 'we are lost and we are found' referring to the fact that we all use to be lost but Jesus saved us and also the line 'though the world may hate us, we are named' im pretty sure hes referring to christians but please enlighten me on who you think he's talking about. | |

| I totally disagree with all the people that would like to say this song is about Christians/Christianity. First off, the band doesn't like to segregate religions as shown in their song "Cold Cash and Colder Hearts." Although I know that the song sounds like it refers to the Bible. But to be honest, the Bible likes to cover almost every aspect of life and anyone can make anything seem like a reference to the Bible. My main point is, this song seems to be taking a humane point of view on life in general. It's like a broader version of "Colder Cash and Colder Hearts" because it talks about people who feel like they're shunned or rejected by society. "We're more than carbon and chemicals" People aren't just things. "Free will is ours and we can't let go" We can decide for ourselves and we can't just go along with whatever everyone says. "We can't allow this, the quiet cull" This can't be left alone. A person who is rejected/shunned who is quiet and says nothing back. "So we sing out this, our canticle" So we chant out against this injustice. For definitions, Cull = Something picked out from a group, especially rejected because of inferior quality. Canticle = A song or chant. (If you want more extreme, it's like a religious chant/song that people believe in) Of course... my view on the song is my own. Just sharing my opinion :D | |
