Hull seems to see Christ as this beautiful story of a man who in one night is betrayed and abandoned by the ones he held closest. So, in that context, it makes sense that Hull references the betrayal of Christ. The song seems to point to this idea that just one action can screw up beautiful things that took so much effort and time to build. In an interview posted at /news//…, Hull talks about the song's meaning a bit, saying that it's about sex, marriage, and the band. Judas kissed Christ to signal to the guards which one of the men present in the garden was Jesus, which eventually led to Jesus' crucifixion. In the context of this Scripture Peter is 'only trying to do job.' Then, Hull says 'kiss him on top his lips and crucify the fire.' This seems to make reference to Judas' betrayal of Christ. When Jesus was going to be arrested and brought to trial, his disciple Peter reacts by fighting a guard, cutting off his ear. Hull uses very pointedly Christian terminology on this part. I wanted to address the part about 'the straight and narrow path.' Hmmm, Bronx, that's an interesting take on it and it could be true. Trust in me the same way (with your time, your blood) We built this up in one day to fall downward and You built this up in one day to fall downward and rust Kiss him on top his lips and crucify the fire I hold his ear I'm only trying to do my job tonight

In time I swore I'd take the straight and narrow path but still won't You tried to emphasize and side with both your ghosts We built this up in one day to fall downward and rust You built this house with your hands, and your time, and your blood You build this up in one day to fall downward and rust We built this house with our hands, and our time, and our blood Heard don't move unless you know someone you can moveĪnd I bruise just like anyone would bruise
