    The crucifixion part was a metaphor …Ronnie feels crucified for his beliefs and standing on what he believes is right. The imagery is beautiful and how often we all feel. Being torn between the good and evil inside us. And those that are trying to find our way authentically, become targets of those that blindly follow one side or another.
    “Dont be a sheep”. That’s the meaning behind that. You’re welcome 😇 great reaction !

    1) Prequel: Ronnie becoming who he is by being crucified (metaphorically by the public) by the people in power and learning he has power over some people (those that hate that are always talking about him behind his back - the power that he is always on their mind). He gets pulled in both directions (good and evil) and doesn't pick a side. Then he finds his suit.
    2) Popular Monster: Still being crucified in the public eye so he turns into a popular monster and murders a bunch of people.
    3) Ronald: While being transported after getting picked up for the PM murders, he breaks out of the police vehicle and escapes. He meets God in Purgatory (Tech 9) and He has him use his suit, become a hero and fight the devil.
    4) Watch the World Burn: Even after being a hero, the public still looks down on him and turns against him so he turns into the villain once and for all and Burns the World.
    5) Last Resort: The world is fixed.

    The interesting point for me is that at the end of the ascension sequence its almost as if neither the angels or the devils succeed in capturing his soul as there is an explosion which throws back both. He then finds resurrection in a suit of armour that in the future (WTWB and Ronald) will protect him in a fight against both extremes of self proclaimed good and evil. In the end I think all this has a very simple message ‘Let me be my own man. Stop trying to tell me how I should be’.

    I think the crucifixion isn't about him being Jesus it's about him being crucified everyday for being himself. The part where the light and dark angels are trying to take him and he blows them all away i feel he's saying he's neither good nor evil, he choses his own path and has his own ideas of what's "good and evil". He burns a priest in Watch the World Burn but then fights the devil in Ronald hence his own ideas of good and evil not everybody else's standards of "good and evil" but music is subjective as is some ideas of what's good or evil

    There are many things to talk about in this video but when the lazers peirce the dark clouds shadowing the world it exposed everything to the light and the angels were let in. I wouldn't judge too harshly for the imagery, after all it is artistic expression open to your own views and perspectives. It may just be the feelings of being persecuted in public and making mental connections with stories we all have heard about others . Being in a position to influence others increases the hardship to the one being held up,making it impossible to live up to,witch opens you up to ridicule and blame. Society now days will try to cancel you ,mimic you, or cult like follow you ,only to instantly turn on a dime listening to false information without verification.

    I too am a Christian and can take it several ways, just what this song made me think about. First, I'm not offended at all. Second, I can see 2 things if this were to represent when Jesus was crucified. 1, this is what Jesus could have done (He of course s God and could have done many supernatural things) or this is symbolic of the unseen war that occurred then, much of which is not written about and up for imaginistic interpretations. Also, the Bible is clear on 2 things, one day Jesus will come back and He will have "Eyes of Flaming Fire" and will destroy his enemies with fire/flaming sword from his mouth, and that the earth will be purified by fire, instead of water, before everything is made be again. So, in many ways it isn't far off Biblically both then and the Revelation times soon to come.

How society will metaphorically crucify & silence any1 that speaks their mind or fights back hence him getting crucified which he mentions in Ronald. He's also calling out all of the haters that talk shit about him then hide behind their computers & the people that get offended over every lil thing. He's also calling himself out as well. I❤the imagery with the light angels trying 2 pull him up 2 heaven while the dark angels r trying 2 pull him down 2 hell, it's all a battle between good vs evil that we all struggle within us.

    While I am still confused about the crucifiction, I have heard Ronnie isn't religious. He comes from a family that was Christian (his dad at least). So I don't know that the crucifiction is really supposed to be Jesus. After all, that was a method of torture in Jesus' days so it wasn't unique to Jesus, it's just associated with the death and resurrection. Now when he walks into the tomb and sees the suit, that's also him as well after since you can his hand and the nail hole. So is it that his evil side was killed? But then the good him gets the suit and goes on to the other videos?
    I really don't know. I do believe it's a lot of symbolism and not trying to mock Jesus. Ronnie may have a slight (lol) ego but I don't think it's to that extent! But yeah, that's the biggest part bugging me as a Christian but I don't feel that it's a mockery but just symbolic. Afterall, people use that they're "being crucified" for an opinion or whatever and Ronnie has gotten a lot of slack from many people.
    In any case, the track is probably my favorite FIR now! It's so good! And the video is a whole new level! I can't imagine the budget that went into that!

      In defense, while the crucifixion may not be mutually exclusive to Christianity and Christ, the Crown of Thorns, Ascension, Angels and Demons fighting, the words “Why have you forsaken me?” Are all biblical references. As a Christian, I don’t care. I enjoy the song and think the way he uses the biblical imagery to portray a deeper message is fantastic. I genuinely doubt that he is taking a shot a Christianity, and even if he was, so what? He is entitled to his expression of opinions the same way everyone else is. Bottom line is, the song is fire, it’s got a great message about taking a stand for what you believe and being unique rather than following the masses and it gets people talking about hard things.

    The crucifixion was not an exclusive punishment of Jesus. And from what I have read at the end it was one of the cruelest punishments by the Romans and that was to instill the greatest possible fear in the people and well everyone gives it the meaning they want as far as I am concerned I understand that If you fight for a cause contrary to what the system plans, you end up crucified and that is figuratively but in the end the point is that you are censored or eliminated because in this world fighting for what is right is evil and doing evil is the most normal !

      Scholars estimate as many as 150,000 people were crucified, including 6,000 in a single day after the revolt of Spartacus. Jesus is the only one with a religion modeled after him, so his followers don't see that he was but a grain of sand in the zen garden of Roman order. To them, it was just another punishment being doled out. They didn't see him as special, a prophet, a messiah, just a rabblerouser who needed to be quelled. So they quelled.
