Atheism in Music

I don't think it was mentioned--

"Insanity" by Oingo Boingo. ^______^

Best song. EVER.

Oingo Boingo is the s**t. You have great taste! I love "Nasty Habits". Oingo Boingo has the best subtly hedonistic songs in the world and yet when they come right out and say what they mean it's no less impressive. I had no idea they sang about religious doubt. I'll have to get that one.

I have noticed that a good number of Metal bands are into free-thinking and songs that sound like they deal with atheism. Cellador is a good example... I think...

Song: Leaving All Behind
Artist: Cellador
Album: Enter Deception

Lost all alone and bound for nowhere
With no thought nor aim to find
Your choices made, decisions hollow
And forced into your mind

In darkness you wander
Abound in an empty endless night
Forever searching for the light

Controlling your mind
(All thoughts and all dreams turning to illusion)
Leaving all behind

Upon your face stares the watcher
Following words of lie
He guides your steps walks you to sorrow
Misguiding your life

The hand of the master
The palm of the maker shields your eyes
Break from the feeder or go blind

Controlling your mind
(All thoughts and all dreams turning to illusion)
Leaving all behind

One day you will realize
In time you will blink and see the light
And from out of grace your soul will shine

Controlling your mind
(All thoughts and all dreams turning to illusion)
Leaving all behind

Controlling your mind
(All thoughts and all dreams turning to illusion)
Leaving all behind

Just wake up and open your eyes

Personally I think they're saying that you shouldn't follow a God and instead believe in yourself.

Nope, but I could write one!

hmmm... I have a feeling this is going to be really retarded...

This is my song, my atheist song
Don't come near me, or I might bite off your *gong*
Don't want your bible, don't give me your torah.
Because if you do, you'll be leaving rather sorah!
Run away young child, and never come near
or you might loose something very dear!
Because this is my song, my atheist song!

Yep... retarded. It's not that bad though, because it was on the spot. Now I just need the proper tune and tempo, and we'll have the next #1 hit!

 

[Sho-NUFF!]

If youre looking for Atheist Rap, look up Greydon Square on Myspace...he has some really good music, you should check it out, even if you dont like Rap.

Not bad, better than what I'd put out. I'd try to overly perfect it and it would probably suck

heart yeah, but the hard part is getting the right tune to it, so it would probably suck...
I'm thinking the achy breaky heart song ( emo ), or the truck driving song...

Hmm... I really don't see either of those songs working to well with that song (Then again, my brain isn't working right now.) Perhaps we should come up with a tune all it's own

I can't either, however still wouldn't hurt to try  

[ChocoChan]

A bit of a streatch, but a lot of Hoobastank can be seen as talking about religious views; lots of questioning, lots of uncertainty.

Hoobastank
"Out Of Control"

I've done everything as you say
I've followed your rules without question
I thought it would help me see things clearly
But instead of helping me to see
I look around and it's like I'm blinded

I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control

Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me
Cause I don't know
If I can trust you
I don't understand what you want from me

I feel like I'm spinning out of control
Try to focus but everything's twisted
And all along I thought you would be there
(Thought you would be there)
To let me know I'm not alone
But in fact that's exactly what I was

I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control

Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me
Cause I don't know
If I can trust you
All of the things you've said to me

I may never know the answer
To this endless mystery

Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me

Is it a mystery?
Is it a mystery?

I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control...

Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me
Cause I don't know
If I can trust you
All the things you've said to me

And I may never know the answer
To this endless mystery

Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me

I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control  

[cup_noodles]

You know,
I'd like to see an athiest rap.
I don't even care if it sucks like the Mormon rap.

Yeah, you heard right, a Mormon rap.
You'd think that denying coffee ment that you denied rap too.

 

[Theophrastus]

Or for that matter, an openly homosexual gangsta rapper.

That'd just make my day.
