The concept of fashion is the one to blame,
Painting a portrait of conviction-less existence.
Well, it must be difficult being so gorgeous.
Well, it must be difficult
Claiming to be the kings and queens,
But it's all,
(But it's all)
But it's all,
(But it's all)
For nothing.
This shall pass.
Megalomania!
This shall pass.
Megalomania! [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/t/the_devil_wears_prada/hey_john_whats_your_name_again.html ]
Congratulations
On mutilation
For a life,
For a life!
Life, life, life!
Life, life, life!
I'm gonna hope for you,
I'm gonna pray for you,
Amongst the reckless and the black.
Salvation lies within.
I'm gonna hope for you,
I'm gonna pray for you,
Amongst the reckless and the black.
My time is yours, my friend.
We all find ourselves so horribly weak.
Here's an offering!
Here's an offering!
Offering, offering!
Fashion painting a portrait of conviction-less existence. This concept is great, as it really personifies fashion as an entity all its own, with a will and a want. Fashion seems used as a roundabout way of saying vanity, an asset of pride.
It seems they are calling on a couple of different ideas from the bible.
1 john 2:16-for all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the father, but is of the world.
The statement "well, it must be difficult being so gorgeous" is a double edged sword. First, it is a call out to anyone who has ever had an advancement in life based on looks or appearance alone, rather than merit or warranted promotion. In that sense, however, it sounds like a statement of jealousy-which i do not think is the intention of the statement.
The other interpretation of the line is sympathizing with a gorgeous individual-gorgeous people can be the source of temptation for the eyes of men and women alike. To be the source of temptation and recognize it could evoke deep feelings of guilt and frustration in a gorgeous person.
As for anyone claiming to be the kings and queens-this statement is flat out conviction. Anyone presuming to be the king or queen faces similar issues to vanity and pride, but may suffer worse yet. A king or queen of man holds a difficult responsibility. They should help man to focus their eyes on god rather than on themselves, because anyone who deters the eyes of man from the eyes of god may be unintentionally causing idolatry. Furthermore, the king of kings, jesus christ, holds an authority higher than conceivable on a human level. Any person who would present themselves as a king or queen to christ would be loved just as much as a slave in their dominion. The kingdom of heaven is for everyone, so long as they repent and accept christ jesus as their savior. In a position of power over people as a king or queen, it must be difficult to relinquish that power and bow down and acknowledge something greater.
I could go on for pages. All of these guys songs are great and well written. I highly recommend them live as well-they talk about god and are incredible performers. Pick up a bible and read everyone! God bless! Jesus saves!

Lol the pyramid with the eye above represents the 13 colonies of the united states under one order of the true god. The bible also says nothing about computer chips. I understand your modern interpretation of the revelation given to john about 666, but it says just 666. Don't over think the bible, because if the holy spirit is inside you will make the right choice when the time comes for them to put the mark of the beast on you. I don't care if they do it through a chip or tattoo. Also, over complicating the god's word can cause you to more harm than good. Most the time people try to hard to "crack the bible code," and it's all for the pride of saying you did. Also, the bible is a book of the heart. What does god need to do in our lives in order to get ready for the choice of 666 mark? Don't spend your time on a warning that has many claimed answers. Now, always excel in your walk, and always try to find the answers, but don't get consumed in them. Yes, read and understand revelation, but don't try to find the answer when we need to be patient and wait for god's timing.
I think the song is simple.
First part: we/me/you/john/sinners are caught up in the patterns of this world.
Second part: proof through our/mine/your/john's/sinners' pride that the patterns of this world are useless and lead to death.
Third part: we/me/you/john/sinners have, because of our sin, have mutilated christ who died for life.
Fourth part: a christian talks to us/me/you/john/sinner about salvation within. The christian show full love and devotion to saving the live of us/me/you/john/sinner.
Fourth part: also, for christian, love everyone and don't give up on a soul. For the kingdom could also be theirs.
Fifth part: in the end, we are all weak compared to christ. We all need to seek him and grow everyday in every way for christ, others, and ourself. Christian and non-christian alike, seek the love knocking in inside, and you will be given salvation, love, and live. God is love. "here's an offering" - romans 12:1 therefore i urge you brothers, in view of god's mercy to offer yourselves as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to god. This is your spiritual act of worship.
This song is them warning people about the illuminati. 1.the concept of fashion/conviction less existence, all signs of what the secret luciferian society illuminati praises and desires. 2. Well it must be difficult claiming to be the kings and queens. Ever since the illuminati started its plan in 1776, it has found it's way to be the kings of many countries, the un, american government are all controlled by members of the illuminati. 3. Megalomania, this shall pass. Megalomania is the dangerous psychiatric behavior of the illuminati. I'm guessing mike believes it all shall pass when everyone is finally given the truth of their existence. 4. I'm gonna hope for you, i'm gonna pray for you among the reckless and the black. There is no doubt he is referencing the top 10th degree of the illuminati members who dress themselves in black cloats and perform them rituals at the bohemian grove along with the whole bush family (who has ties with the illuminati-yale university organization known as the the order of the skull and bones.
Do your research. The illuminati have already started the mark of the beast (rfid chips that have been put in people since the early 2000s) and they plan to start the new world order, sign are all over the dollar bill such as the eye of horus over the pyramid, which is 13 levels, the number of supreme knowledge. With the latin quote underneath it meaning "new order of the ages". Do the research.
"the concept of fashion is the one to blame
painting a portrait of conviction-less existence
well, it must be difficult being so gorgeous"
I believe that what's being said is that someone went ahead and put themself in a world that they're all that.
"well, it must be difficult
claiming to be the kings and queens
but it's all
(but it's all)
but it's all
(but it's all)
for nothing"
What's being said is that claiming to be all great and that is just pointless.
"this shall pass
megalomania
this shall pass
megalomania"
Megalomania is a symptom of mental illness marked by delusions of greatness, wealth, etc. , so... The person who's claiming to be all that has this, and mike is saying so.
"congratulations
on mutilation
for a life
for a life
life, life, life
life, life, life"
Ok, so the person who was claiming to be all that was stripped down from being all that, and should... Be taken from life?
"i'm gonna hope for you
i'm gonna pray for you
amongst the reckless and the black
salvation lies within
i'm gonna hope for you
i'm gonna pray for you
amongst the reckless and the black
my time is yours, my friend"
So, someone is praying for the person who was all that, and was stripped down, to be "rebirthed".
"we all find ourselves so horribly weak. Here's an offering
here's an offering
offering, offering"
Mike's saying that... We find ourselves weak sometimes, and giving an offering to someone or going another path will lead to salvation.
Well... These are my thoughts. If you think that i'm wrong, don't be afraid to correct me. :)

all of tdwp's song titles mean something to their lyrics (i believe)... And i believe that when it says "what' your name again", is what i described about the lyrics (from my pov).

As far as the meaning of the lyrics... Ncurry has them down pretty well in my opinion. My interpretation of the title of the song is what i would like to discuss. I could see the title meaning one, perhaps all, of three things. The first, "john" could be a figurative generic person that has been lost in the materialistic morals of today's society. "john" lost what he once was, his humanity is stricken and he is nothing more than a ken doll now. The title asks for john's name despite the fact that whoever was adressing john adressed him with his actual name. This would make the title a call for a person lost in the generally shallow morals of society to remember himself, embrace what he was and to be reborn into the beautiful person he once was. John could also be a reference to john the baptist. John the baptist was one of the major religous figures of christianity, and the song title could simply be tdwp asking for people to remember goodness and be a part of conveying it to the rest of the world. Remember who john was and what he represented. This could also tie in with my first interpretation. Calling for john (the generic kid) to be "reborn" would also make the name john more significant. Rather than a joe or a jack or a george, john could represent john the baptist. The baptist would represent a character whose roots is in absolvation of the past and an adoption of christain beliefs. John the baptist did what? He baptised. As always, feel free to comment on my interpretations. Agree with them, or rip them apart. I'm interested in what you think. Peace :)
