i love this song because i’m so violently ambivalent about it. i wouldn’t want it to be anything else.

it’s a fantastic expression of a compensatory fantasy inspiring hope in someone so clearly barely hanging on. it’s delightful to think about the despair implied by this message for the atheist

i’ve appreciated BAAO since high school for this reason - their music sounds angry, frustrated, downtrodden, but they preach a message of hope and love. however, if you lack their faith then it loops back around to be depressing again.

each moment is significant in the dialectic, and the synthesis does not summarize the whole.
