    I'm not a Christian, but I love your mom's thought process. "I don't want to nag, I'm not going to tell people they need to convert, I'll just live my Christian life as an example" .. That is wonderful. That's what it is all about. I really think Christianity would do better if there were more people with that attitude.

    Me personally, I don't think the song is about literal rats. It's more of a theme: Rats had spread the Black Plague, and did so rather quickly.
    "rats" in this sense could refer to anything that spreads like wildfire - ideas, hatred and so on.
    It seems more like an "open to interpretation by the listener" sort of song. You have the basic shell - you just need to fill it.

      I read somewhere too that this song is also a response to a lawsuit the lead singer was going through at the time with former band mates. Rats is him talking in part about them gunning for his money and trying to tear down his vision for the band. 'They're still coming after you, there's nothing you can do... RATS!'

      @@kkk2764 Hes, they are a "Theatrical" show band... The "band" is just Tobias Forge from Sweden, and the rest of them were just hired actors/musicians to perform and some did play and record his material. In their history only 2 other prior members ever wrote songs with him, the rest he is credited with, as far as I can tell... Recently he fired all or most of them and hired all new and they sued him, and lost! This band you see here is not the one that did meliora, Which Cirice was from, Not sure even IF those guys are in this new version with his new character "Cardinal Copia" ...."Papa Emeritus IV" was the last front man/ character and that was Tobias also! He changed just about everything. They are NOT Satanists! He was specifically asked in an interview if he was and his answer was "Do we believe in a hoofed horned being under the ground?" sort of thing, and they said NO, that was ridiculous, but he also believed religion is ridiculous too. As do I but that's just my own experience with it. They put on these masks and costumes and are an ACT.. a "Theatrical band" The music has dark and eerie lyrics but it's all a part of his creation of the name brand as well as the name of the band. It's all Tobias Forge, his ball of wax he is the head honcho... (& he is really a very nice person based on what I have seen and heard) As are the new Ghouls-They love and fiercely protect children, and try to do "good" in the real world, but they play those characters. That's about the sum of it all... I have liked this "band" for a long time, I have some vinyl! & it bothers me that they are mis understood as some evil Satanists that spread harm. He is not that guy. The Ghouls are all very polite and well spoken in interviews which are all over the tube and easy to find. It is interesting to actually hear all of them answer questions and talk to interviewers. Especially kids talking to them-how they treat them! The Ghouls I have heard speaking and Mr. Forge have earned my respect. It is a show-That's all. Just happens to be real good tunes.... :)

      ​@@ravenhopkins347 No branches of satanism believe in a literal satan. What you are referring to is Luciferianism.
      But true enough some branches of Satanism do use Satan as symbolism for individuality, seeker of knowledge, and some times as a rebel against authority, as he is described in the Bible.
      I mean if you read the bible, only adjectives suggest that Satan is evil. His actions, however, are never more evil than that of God. Compared to God based on Satan's actions in the bible, one may think him more of a saint in comparison to God. Seeking to free humanity from the shackles of eternal mind-control.
      And remember, the bible does not say that Satan created Hell, or even that he rules Hell. It was God who created Hell to punish Satan and the sinning humans.

    The song does indeed use the plague as a metaphor for religion. Although it does not point to any given religion, the use of a singular 'God' indicates that it is more directed at Christian/Catholic beliefs. Alex is right on his reading, but has highlighted the wrong lyrics (although they do form a greater portrayal of it). Focus more on the opening lyrics:
    "In times of turmoil, in times like these. Beliefs contagious, spreading disease. This wretched mischief is now coursing through your souls. Never to let go, never to let go. The Rats."
    Directly referring to religion as a plague that poisons minds, perpetuated and spread by 'Rats', i.e. missionaries, priests or people who seek to convert others to their religion. Further exasperated by civil unrest, making it easier for a given religion to spread through a nation... Like a plague through a impoverished town.

  • @humanoid251

    Ghost’s gimmick is that they’re modeled after the Catholic Church but worship satan instead of the Holy Trinity. Or at least that’s what Wikipedia says
    As a Catholic I do understand the reservations about Ghost, I myself like the song Year One but the blatant references to satan make me not want to like it. But even with everything I still like the band and the masks are awesome. I’m actually going to be seeing them live this September on Friday the 13th
    From what I‘ve seen, the song is about the plague but the religious references are about the mentality at the time: preachers saying the church would save them (the disease spread faster in confined spaces) and that the plague was a punishment from God for everyone’s sinning ways

    I have not been listening to Ghost super recently.
    I almost forgot how good they really are.
    Almost.
    Glad you brought them back up on my radar.
    I love their music, and love the lyrics, but really, just everything about them is cool.
    I like that they choose to hide their identities with the masks and the make-up.
    The cool thing about the masks, I've noticed, at least for me?
    I don't focus on the various band members as much and just really enjoy their music.
    And Alex? I kinda disagree with you just a little on one point:
    I've heard a few of Ghost's songs, including "Cirice," and I thought "Rats" was pretty darn catchy myself.
    It's been awhile so, maybe my perspective is slightly out of focus.
    That's one of those things about Ghost that I find so intriguing:
    That, musically, a song can be THAT catchy, with rats as the lyric subject matter.
    It's a somewhat unique juxtaposition, really.
    You wouldn't think it would be catchy, with that title, and then it is.☺
    And their music just gets under your skin, or it does for me, anyway.
    I'm glad you had the mom unit with you today.
    She is always interesting to watch.☺
