Dirty little secret,
Dirty little lies.
Say your prayers and comb your hair,
Save your soul tonight.
Drift among the faithful,
Bury your desires.
Aberrations fill your head,
You need a place to hide
And I am...
Do you remember me?
And the kid I used to be?
Do you remember me?
Chorus:
When your world's come crashing down
I want to relive.
(Your god ain't looking down on me!)
I'm not Jesus,
Jesus wasn't there!
You confess it all away,
But it's only shit to me
(Your god ain't looking down on me!)
I'm not Jesus,
I will not forgive!
No I won't!
No I won't.
I thought you were a good man,
I thought you talked to god.
You hippocratic, messianic,
And child abusing-turned-satanic.
Do you remember me?
Do you remember me?
And the kid I used to be?
Do you remember?
Do you remember?
Chorus: [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/apocalyptica/im_not_jesus.html ]
When your own world comes undone,
Let me be the one to say:
(Your god ain't looking down on me!)
"I'm not Jesus,
You can't run away!"
And the innocence you spoiled
Found a way to live.
(Your god ain't looking down on me!)
I'm not Jesus
I will not forgive!
I won't forgive.
I won't do whatever you want to.
I won't forgive.
I won't do whatever you want to.
Do you remember me?
And the kid I used to be?
Not the same as I used to be!
Oh, do you remember me?
Nooooooo!
Chorus:
When your world's come crashing down,
I want to relive
(Your god ain't looking down on me!)
I'm not Jesus,
Jesus wasn't there!
You confess it all away,
But it's only shit to me!
(Your god ain't looking down on me!)
I'm not Jesus,
I will not,
I'm not Jesus,
I will not forgive!
Oh, I will not forgive, yeahyeah!
No, I will not forgive!
I think that this song is a reflection of how children who go through such trauma deal with what has happened to them. You cannot assume to know what that does to a person, a child and thus i think there is no way you can judge the way they cope with it. I don't think this song speaks against god but against the person that has wronged them in the most horrible way. Ask what your questions would be towards a greater being if this happened to you. This song can also be towards any child abuser, anyone that has betrayed a child's trust not just a priest.

Pedophile priest... That is just epically wrong... They should nailed to a cross. Good enough for jesus, more than adequate for them also

It means that only jesus can forgive. But we are humans, and some humans like corey in this song don't forgive. He also says that he used to be a kid and fate made him something bad.

The lyrics have got to have something about his rape when he was a child, off one of (what he thought) was his best friend.

Jesus forgives and forgets. Humanity can not achieve the same talent. The innocence that a person have can be damage easily by evil people. I'm not a child but my innocence remained until a betrayer. Not this person is going down asking for forgiveness but... I'm not jesus

I think this song is abut a chind that had been abused by a priest, and that now he is taking or will take revenge on him, telling him that he wont forgive him and that he will avange the other inocents
