Religion
Slime Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Erzählt mir nichts von euren Göttern
Denn die haben niemals existiert
Auch Jesus Christus oder Mohammed
verhinderten nie einen Krieg
Behauptet nicht, daß ihr die Antwort habt
auf die Frage, die ihr niemals gewußt
Behauptet nicht, daß ihr die Wahrheit sagt,
weil eure Wahrheit gelogen ist

Refrain:
Religion bedeutet Unterdrückung
Religion ist Opium für das Volk
Religion hat Millionen von Menschen getötet
Religion - doch die Kirchen sind immer noch voll

Ihr habt die Bombe gesegnet,
Die auf Hiroshima fiel
Auch mit Hitler und Mussolini
Habt ihr euch solidarisiert
Es ist egal, wer an der Macht ist,
Denn ihr seid immer dabei
Ihr nehmt den Menschen das Denken ab
Mit eurer Heuchelei

Refrain

Overall Meaning

In Slime's song "Religion," the artist critiques and challenges the idea of religion and the role it has played in society. The lyrics refuse to accept the notion that gods such as Jesus Christ or Mohammed have ever prevented wars or brought true peace. The song also questions those who claim to have all the answers and suggest they possess a truth that is ultimately untrue. Slime sees religion as a means of oppression, as it has led to countless deaths and continues to fill churches despite its faults and shortcomings.

The song specifically references the bombing of Hiroshima, which was blessed by religious leaders. The artists also point out that these same religious leaders have been quick to support immoral and unethical political leaders such as Hitler and Mussolini. Slime emphasizes the harm religion has done and continues to do, including taking away individuals' ability to think critically and encouraging them to accept hypocrisy.

Overall, "Religion" is a powerful message about the negative aspects of religion, from the harm it has caused to the way it stifles critical thought. The song encourages listeners to question and think for themselves, rather than blindly accepting what religion tells them.
