@ xAttackAttackx I simply love your interpertatioin and I will assume you are a christian by the screen name you have for this screen name is a christian band. Just thought I'd let you know =)
Okay i have a question please its for my theology homework..im suppose to find 3 songs and explain the message/meaning of each song and why you think its prophetic..im stuck on the word "prophetic" i don't understand what the teacher is asking by this...im new to this religion class Ive gone to public up to 8th grade and currently at a private catholic high school. but i thought id try to do 1 of the TDWP songs cuz their an amazing band and i love them..sooo please if u can explain what prophetic means thanks.. email me at foxfire120@aim.com thanks!!!
@xAttackAttackx that was very well described :) TDWP has such great lyrics, and I'm no good at describing what they were talking about, but you described it really well, thanks. n_n
@fhemsworth, all of the songs by The Devil Wears Prada have a meaning.
The title itself is a meaning. Dogs back in biblical times were looked down upon, and was used to describe an evil and unholy person or thing. Now this part may sound weird, but for disguises, people will wear fake beards. So "Dogs can grow beards all over" can translate to "Sin can hide anywhere, at any given time".
"Welcome to the war. Welcome to the war. A martyr's challenge." I think "the war" is referring to how Christians spread the Lord's name, either in their community, or all around the world. "A martyr's challenge" is if you are faced with a difficulty, will you keep faith in God?
"Chainsaw brutality. Tornado Strength." I think this line is referring to how strong and aggressive Satan can be, so he can lead you astray.
"King of the Diamond. King of the Grave." Jesus is the true savior, saving all who believe in him from death and bringing us forth into eternal salvation.
"Lawlessness stains black on whitewashed doubts.
We're too strong to compromise.
Don't be ashamed of your faith." Sin is making us impure, but God has mercy on us, so he will forgive us, so don't bother trying to disown our faith, "we're too strong to compromise." No matter how much persecution you get, you should never be ashamed in your Christianity.
"Dear Lord-deliver me from hypocrisy and surcease. The scarlet desire." Mike is asking God to free him of this corrupt world, so he may live with him in heaven. "The scarlet desire" is referring to the blood Jesus shed on the cross for us.
"He wears a slick jacket and a gold watch. Her dishonesty has scarred hands. He wears a slick jacket." "He" is Satan. Even though he looks cool and has nice things, inside him is pure evil. "She" is the people of the world, and their constant lies is scarring what they do."
That is how I see it. If you have a different view, don't be mad at me for it.
@cassiepssxp, I know this is an awesome song, but how in the hell can you say it is full of meaning. I mean the best part of the song is him pretty much saying Chainsaw brutality, tornado strength...
Good a song as it may be that is a bs comment dude...
helloblack candente cuando me piensa enviar la invitacion para ir a tu fiesta este fin de ano ya no me llama como ante parece que eres rico y no quieres hablar con pobre pero pontro llegara mi dia para ser como tu loco ok.
wow,i could read posts like this all day,i think fabihasabin hit the nail on the head when it comes to the meaning other than the last bit,i think that they are reffering to sin when they say "he wears a slick jacket"and is asking God to deliver him of his sins and tempatations but...these are all just opinions and not everyone has the same beleifs so not everyone will find the same meaning in the song
