Song Meaning of “A Bible in a Bath of Bleach” by Elvis Depressedly
This song is a lamentation of a world that is so far gone from what it should be, with no respite from all the pain and suffering. The Bible is a symbol for hope and faith, yet here it is haplessly drowning in a bath of bleach – staring at a stark white abyss that numbs the soul; lacking the comfort and assurance that one seeks from faith. The narrator longs for redemption and peace, yet his cries seem to fall on deafened ears. He questions whether God’s love even transcends to this world of chaos – to a place where peace is no longer a promise and cruelty abounds. The chorus serves as a reminder that only love brings the answers; it is one’s faith that will see them through this darkness. One can only hope that they can one day reconcile with the divine and step out of the bleach-filled abyss.
