It's called "Melancholy (Holy Martyr)" so yes it's 'bout Jesus.

Who wrote the song? Was it Matt? I know Jon's not religious, but is he?
It doesn't matter either way, but I'm a Christian, so it'd be cool if I knew I'd see Matt in heaven lol

We all know my feelings on christ and christianity, I hate him/it. But I never thought about it being about jesus. No wonder it was my least fav non-Gene Adam song by IE. Than again maybe it's not about him and still my least fav non-Gene Adam song, not that I don't like it mind you. Also wasn't the song "Pierced Spirit" a song about christ too? I'unno. By the way Jon wrote Melancholy. Jon may not be religious but I think he is NOT an atheist. Kinda like Kevin Smith (the dude that made the Clerks movies and Dogma and is Silent Bob) said "There's nothing wrong with christianity, just christians". I think Jon feels the same way. I'unno.

Just because they write a song about someone doesn't mean that
they believe on him/her/it.
An example; I don't think that Jon actually believes that there were a bunch of
Setians and that Humans came in spaceships and destroyed their culture.
Sorry tried to not sound like an ass on this one.
Stormrider Edit: Sorry had to delete the question to me, it started something that does not belong in these forums.

Anyway, I still listen to this bootleg quite often. It's amazing.
