The song Selling the Drama by Live… what’s the story behind the lyrics? Anyone?
It came on the radio as we drove home tonight and got me wondering. It has some strange words in it.
For those who don’t know the song, the lyrics are on the official site at http://www.friendsoflive.com/albums.asp - you’ll need to follow the lyrics link under the album Throwing Copper.
On a side note, does anyone know of a place on the net that explores the story behind lyrics? I’ve tried Googling, with no luck.
Personally, I take it to be about two things: gaining the strength to give up on religion, then using one’s own influence (through their music) to change the minds of others.
This site disagrees with me

Although, this one sort of agrees with me http://members.aol.com/livefan4/livetc.html#selling , as does this one that’s supposed to be from an interview with Kowalczyk

That article from www.cpyu.org was bizarre. So, a Christian organization explains that much of Throwing Copper was inspired by the band’s disillusionment to Christiantiy, and then recommends the album to teenagers and parents as a way of following Christianity more closely?
