Jesus Christ, that's a pretty face
The kind you'd find on someone that could save
If they don't put me away
It’ll be a miracle
Do you believe you're missing out?
That everything good is happening somewhere else
But with nobody in your bed
The night is hard to get through
And I will die all alone
And when I arrive I won’t know anyone
Well, Jesus Christ, I’m alone again
So what did you do those three days you were dead?
Because this problem's gonna last
More than the weekend
Well, Jesus Christ I’m not scared to die
I’m a little bit scared of what comes after
Do I get the gold chariot
Do I float through the ceiling
Do I divide and fall apart
Cause my bright is too slight to hold back all my dark
This ship went down in sight of land
And at the gates does Thomas ask to see my hands?
I know you'll come in the night like a thief
But I’ve had some time alone to hone my lying technique
I know you think that I’m someone you can trust
But I’m scared I’ll get scared and I swear I’ll try to nail you back up
(everyone now)
So do you think that we could work out a psalm
So I’ll know it's you and that it's over so I won't even try
I know you'll come for the people like me
But we all got wood and nails,
And talk dirt at hating factories
But, we all got wood and nails
And talk dirt at hating factories
Yeah, we all got wood and nails
And we sleep inside of this machine

Review about Jesus Christ maybe. | Reviewer: skye | 2/7/10
maybe this song could be about how he believes he's been such a terrible person. he thinks he is/was dating someone that's better than him.
"i'm scared i'll get scared and i'll try to nail you back up."
saying that he can't trust himself, and he'll try to give that person back to where he/she belongs.
"so do you think we can work out a psalm."
meaning let's find some sort of reasoning behind all of this, a quote to get you through the pain i'm causing you.
he knows he has sinned, he isn't sure if he'll make it to heaven.
just my interpretation, i've been in shoes of fucking up. this song gets me by.

Your post makes no sense at all. Being an atheist does not mean you don't have faith in anything. And PS - I don't believe in god, but that doesn't make me an atheist because I do believe there is some sort of higher power, but I believe this higher power is just a scientific thing more than anything.

There is no religion people, religion are just tools for the elite, to keep up us fighting, keep up separate, if ur atheist you better repent before its to late. if you dont believe theres a God, then why do these elites push a luciferian agenda, and try to be God? with there Weather manipulating technology, and giving people vaccines -_- wake up humanity!
Question | Reviewer: dave | 1/21/10
Gina, I have to ask. If you are truly an atheist, why would you care what the band or anyone else believes in? Having no faith in anything would render everything completely meaningless, I would think.
Really? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/12/10
It is, in my opinion, about him asking God about what will happen when he finally dies. This can also be about him asking God about when all this doubt will stop, hence the reference to doubting Thomas in one lyirc.
But from what I've read about Brand New they seem like Christians I mean they hold so many Bibical refrences in their songs.
So why can't they have a song about refrencing Jesus Christ without it been taken as something completly different?
Also about Jesus Christ being used as a curse what about the lyrics like 'the one you'd find on someone that could save'? To me the cursing thing doesn't make sense.
Struggle | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/11/10
I believe this song is about struggling with your religion.
Not rejecting it but finding it hard to follow the rules and do what god wants him to do.
"Do you believe you're missing out?
That everything good is happening somewhere else
But with nobody in your bed
The night is hard to get through
"
He wants to do what god asks of him but he feels like he is missing out on a lot in life, and everyone else is living it up while he is following gods rules.

All of your viewpoints are great, && that's what the beauty of music really is, it always means something slightly different to people. He couldve had one meaning in his head when writing this song, but a listener might listen to it && derive an entirely different meaning from it, && another listener somethingg even more diverse. People interperet music differently, especially ones with deeper meanings, depending on their personal views, feelings, life, obstacles, trials && tribulations they might be facingg at the timee. They depict a meaningg, that they sometimes might need at that point in their lives. Sometimes meanings of songs change throughout ones course of life; a song might mean something noww, but years down the line, when you're in a completely different path of your life, it might mean somethingg entirely different. So all of your views on what you think this song might mean are valid, && that's what makes your opinions so great, because they are what you feel && interpet, && tell each other that one another is wrongg, for their interpetationss, is not in anyones place.
Personally, I think that Jesus Christ is used as a profanity in this case.
If you replace the words with any swear word, it has the same affect as when he's saying Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is a favourite swear word of mine, so personally, I think it's about someone's frustration with God, and kind of giving up on believing.
At any rate, it's not a preachy "God is wonderful" song and thank goodness. Because I'm an atheist and Brand New is my favourite band and I couldn't stand if they were really goddy.
This song mean a lot to me so I thank you all for having some great points of views. I do believe though in the verse that reads "But I’ve had some time alone to hone my lying technique" The words should be "lion taming". There is a powerful story in the bible that tells of a man Benaiah who chases a lion to defeat it. This is a metaphor for those who have the strength to face their fears no matter how deadly.
