“I'm not the beast they've made me out to be / I've done some good things / I've done some good things / Like you I have stumbled once or twice / And done some bad things / I've done some bad things / My body is a thing corrupt and wrong / It is guilty / Yeah it is guilty / My spirit is the thing that's dragged along / It is innocent / Lord it is innocent”
And also
“Oh separate my body from my soul”
And
“Show me a man who deserves to die / You cannot convince me / You cannot convince me / Now show me a man who deserves to live / You have no evidence / You have no evidence”
And
“I tried so hard to tell you truth / But lied to you / I have lied to you / The things that you learn and know so well / They are fleeting / Yes they are fleeting”
But *especially*
“You're the one who told me who I was/ You said you're no one/ So now I'm no one”
Was brought to mind by thinking about Brian.
Which is fucking funny because I always thought that song was about the christian Devil and Brian is Jesus… so….
#the mechanisms#drumbot brian#those poor bastards#no one#i hope everyone loves my great religion adjacent analysis#also see my pointing out that malevolent is about a god experiencing humanity like the christian god did with jesus#im great at thinking about christian themes for a non christian#also yeah the only lyrics i left out were the part where he says things USED to be black and white and are NOW grey because thats opposite-#in brians story
