    “Because it has to be so lonely, to be the only one who’s holy” yes!! People need to stop being over righteous. Stop judging ppl and worry about yourself.

      @Nas Nalbaz that sometimes if you always have problems with everything and everyone it might be you at fault. instead of always pointing at others and their fault that maybe you should look at yourself and your own flaws first, for once. hope it helped.

      I personally agree and live by that quote ("You don't deserve a point of view, if the only thing you see is you") just because I believe that unless you try to understand more than one side, unless you try to be unbiased, you'll never form a fair opinion.
      But, I respect that others may see this as a bad thing. That this quote can be perceived as something selfish.

      @@xi6265 Again regardless if they're arrogant that doesnt mean they deserve an opinion or a platform especially when that's based on their way of handling something. Sure you might not agree with that way of handling things but considering the fact that its only based in the fact on your opinion if it's bad or not, could be applied to how you handle people who are arrogant and how you handle those viewpoints too. It's just your on the opposing side of the argument, but since its subjective I could argue you dont deserve a viewpoint as a result because its mostly based on opinion. If anyone could just claim you dont deserve an opinion because of this subjective viewpoint then that can be applied to you as well or to really anything if it's actually enforced. Heck, it's the fact that the first amendment states nothing about arrogance purposeful or not, and allows anyone to have a viewpoint and platform.

      I think it's about religious people pretending they have a right to tell you how to live your life based on the bible but since eveyone sins (cuts your hair, eats shrimp, etc those are all sins) then they should be looking at themselves too before they judge others for sinning when everyone has technically sinned.

    I can't make my own decisions
    Or make any with precision
    Well, maybe you should tie me up
    So I don't go where you don't want me
    You say that I've been changing
    That I'm not just simply aging
    Yeah, how could that be logical?
    Just keep on cramming ideas down my throat
    You don't have to believe me
    But the way I, way I see it
    Next time you point a finger
    I might have to bend it back
    Or break it, break it off
    Next time you point a finger
    I'll point you to the mirror
    If God's the game that you're playing
    Well, we must get more acquainted
    Because it has to be so lonely
    To be the only one who's holy
    It's just my humble opinion
    But it's one that I believe in
    You don't deserve a point of view
    If the only thing you see is you
    You don't have to believe me
    But the way I, way I see it
    Next time you point a finger
    I might have to bend it back
    Or break it, break it off
    Next time you point a finger
    I'll point you to the mirror
    This is the last second chance
    (I'll point you to the mirror)
    I'm half as good as it gets
    (I'll point you to the mirror)
    I'm on both sides of the fence
    (I'll point you to the mirror)
    Without a hint of regret
    I'll hold you to it
    I know you don't believe me
    But the way I, way I see it
    Next time you point a finger
    I might have to bend it back
    Or break it, break it off
    Next time you point a finger
    I'll point you to the mirror
    I know you won't believe me
    But the way I, way I see it
    Next time you point a finger
    I might have to bend it back
    Then break it, break it off
    Next time you point a finger
    I'll point you to the mirror

      Pauline Alary, I believe this song is about a person who has issues with a partner telling her how to live her life and cramming ideas into her head without her having as much control of her own ideas and freedom as she would like. Meanwhile, no one is perfect. Her partner has a "God complex" meaning, he/she thinks they have no faults while they tell her all that's wrong in her life. The singer is telling about control issues and a need for more personal freedom. Hope this helps.

      But Josh was still in the band when this album came out, wasn't he? Or I guess he didn't really appreciate and left for that reason maybe ^^

      yeah but they weren't a couple when this song came out even though he was still in the band.
      Hayley has said in various interviews that she writes songs about her and her life and her band mates too and the relationship with them.
      So this is why i think this song was about him :)

    Love to sing this song! Though it's not totally comfy for me in this original key, so I made my own karaoke in a lower key version (-3 keys). If anyone doesn't feel comfy singing the original key, try my lower key karaoke and let me know if it helps: czcams.com/video/KDK8tsootBs/video.html
    Hope that works for you. 😊

    'kay, I read something about Josh whining about a lyric in this song being sacrilegious, can some religious nut explain?

    • @stephencate7398

      leftymu, I'm a Christian guy who is sensitive to blasphemous and sacrilegious lyrics, but I'm not offended easily. I believe in freedom of speech. If it's something I don't care for, I just move on. I'm not trying to change the world to my viewpoint.
      I response to your question, I don't think these are sacrilegious lyrics because in this song she is saying, "If you are trying to play god..." not that the person is actually God or trying to replace God in any way. "Playing God" is a well accepted secular term for anyone who thinks they are better or greater than everyone else. Hope this helps.

      Stephen Cate Well thanks anyway, but if you didn't find it sacrilegious, then it doesn't explain why anyone else did

      Not these lyrics, he was referring to the song "Careful" and he was more vexed by the fact that the decision wasn't universal, ie. If some lyrics bothered some of the band members and they weren't equally accepted by EVERYONE, then they shouldn't be put in the song. Especially if said lyric went outright against his very strong, personal beliefs. Not saying he was wrong or right just giving you the explanation but I do think he ultimately had every right to feel the way he did because in the end who are we to judge someone elses personal beliefs and tell them what or what not to be offended by. Btw if you're wondering which part of the lyrics it was, it was the main chorus (out of all possible lyrics to be) where she says, "The truth never set me free, so I did it myself". In the way that this lyric is sacrilegious is; not only does it go out right against one of the main teachings in the bible (that the truth will set you free), but by saying, "so I did it myself" she is implying she is above the teaching, that it was wrong, and that in consequence, she was above God. Although I'm sure she meant it to be more clever than sacrilegious, by making a perfect reference to her (at the time)current state of friendship to Josh Farro, and dare I say maybe even to piss him off a bit knowing he was very pious while simultaneously knowing she would most likely get away with it.

      TheWayIRage Ah ok, good to know they're all mature adults. In my personal opinion, religion is a load of bullshit because it causes stuff like this. (and, more realistically, wars.)
