I think this song really deals with the fact that people have these religions (especially Christianity), because they subconsciously have their beliefs and only express them when someone expresses theirs and it contradicts with theirs, and all the Christian does to try and prove the other person wrong is say, "Where do you go when you die?". And some people come up with these ridiculous answers, and the Christian would say that that is not true because they believe in heaven.

So the one challenging the Christian comes up with this screwed-up answer to where someone goes when one dies, and the Christian says that the other person is wrong, and has no way to back up his or her own beliefs. "It's so rewarding the ultimate prize, but what good is something if you can't have it until you die?" If someone believes that there is something after life, how can it be proven? The true answer is that you can't prove it, and the average naturalist will not have a true belief of something unless there is true, sensible proof. How can someone believe that you live again after you die?

I agree that this song is related to suicide bombers; however, I also believe that it relates to the fundamentalists of other religions, something Greg may not have been willing to say on CNN.

The first line represents the one path through life on which one must attain access to heaven. Straying from this path, such as having sex before marriage, will get you into hell. The wide horizon is death, because whatever path we take, narrow or not, we must all reach it. The something good on the other side is heaven, nirvana, or whatever you believe happens to us when we die. Then comes the main point of the song: would you give up all fun on earth for the possibility of that afterlife?

The second verse regards how all these religions are sure that their views are right. Even though they have absolutely no proof that this is true, only blind faith. And also that they very possibility that their religious ideas could be true is being destroyed by science. Even in the face of these new scientific advancements, they will still not give up their opinions.

And of course, this blind faith is helping to cause the destruction of humanity's advancements.

The "they" that the entire song, "Live Again - The Fall of Man" is about, is anybody who believes in a God. Yes, it is about suicide bombers, the question is, is it about you?

Although Brett has said that the song is about suicide bombers, I think that we (suicidal nature destroyers) can apply the meaning of it to our way of living! I believe the chorus asks if you feel that you're so important to this world that all you've done until today is so fucking absolute, powerful and needed that you would give up your life to live it all again in the same uncertain way you've always done.

Another angle I see in the chorus could be saying that religion often consumes peoples' lives; it keeps them from truly living. It seems to ask the question, would you give up your devotion to dogmatic beliefs for a chance to truly live. A second chance, so to speak, at concentrating on getting the most out of life, instead of blind commitment to religion.

It's about anyone or anything willing to die for their religious beliefs, depending on the "after life" being worth their death on earth, and how completely ludicrous that idea is.

The song is about suicide bombers; Brett said so on an CNN news program. It is obviously more in depth than that but that is the basic idea of the song. How and what they do to go to heaven: "What good is something if you can't have it until you die" and also other references such as "They know they cant defend." I feel this is about the fact that with all their beliefs there is no definite answer or proof and that it is a ridiculously extreme and selfish way of getting something that they don't even know exists.

I believe this song is mainly religious; it has to do with those ideas you find in the bible and it criticizes the way people, who're connected to religion, see the world. They cannot defend their thoughts or precepts behind them. Certainly it's way more far-reaching than this bomber stuff.

This song is my favorite on this album and I think it is certainly more than just about suicide bombers. It's about the motivation behind their actions, which is also the motivation behind most aspects of living a 'religious' life (regardless of religion). It questions the existence of an afterlife ("drunk with the assertions they know they can't defend") while pointing out that such an intangible concept is the major motivation of those who live with the aim of reaching their spiritual destination once they die. It is just as much about suicide bombers as it is about those people who make choices in life with the aim of ending up in 'heaven' rather than 'hell.'

According to Brett "...it's about suicide bombers".
