Your Creation
SandMarx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Suppressed by corruption and proud religions
And then you put your hands together
Every other finger side by side
Thousands abused
And then you pray for your little life
In your own creation
Faith is just another word
For controversy when you believe
But blood and violence
Is all you see
X2
Thousands of murders and heartwrenching cries
In cultures where torture and rape is justified
And then you put your hands together
Every other finger side by side
Thousands abused
But you still pray every night
Don't tell me to believe
In your own creation
Faith is just another word
For controversy when you believe
But blood and violence
Is all you see
X2
Faith is just another word
For controversy when all you see
Is hunger and terror
And suffering
Another word for controversy
When you believe
But blood and violence
Is all you see
The lyrics to SandMarx's song, "Your Creation," speaks about the problem with blind faith in religious ideologies and the violence and corruption that often accompanies it. The first verse talks about the screams of innocents that are suppressed by religious institutions and government corruption. The next line shows the hypocrisy of those that follow these institutions as they put their hands together to pray for their own lives, while thousands of others are being abused and suffer.
The second verse goes on to talk about the justifications for torture and rape in certain cultures and the thousands of murders and cries of pain that go unheard. Still, those who have faith continue to pray every night, ignoring the atrocities happening around them. The chorus is a call to reject the idea of blindly believing in one's own creation, as faith often leads to controversy and does nothing to solve the very real problems of hunger, terror, and suffering.
Overall, the song provides a scathing critique of organized religion and blind faith. It highlights the hypocrisy and selfishness of those who follow it, while ignoring the very real and pressing problems in the world.
