As foreshadowed on his previous work, Daniel has grown weary of the taxes (no pun intended) of his faith and turned to abandon it. He expresses this relinquishing to kick off this EP with an unenthusiastic mutual rebuff.
Caesar told the FADER through email:
"[It] sets the stage for what I have to say, and the story I’m going to tell,“ he explained. "I live in the real world, I’ve lost my faith, I’m trying to find my way. I actually wrote the first version of this song years ago while I was still in high school, and kind of put it aside. It took on new meaning for me this time around and I was able to finish it.
Taxes are an inevitability no matter what form of society you live in. Truthfully, any of the definitions of taxes could fit with this theme as they are all sure to happen. The ones that most fit with this song is the following:
a strain or heavy demand; to confront (someone) with a fault or wrongdoing.
Death is brought into the song, of course as being the first (if not only) guarantee in life. In addition, death is involved as:
The aftermath of all of the taxes throughout Daniel’s life; being taxed by God for not repenting.
Death and Taxes is also an idiom made famous by Benjamin Franklin:
"Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes."
But was first said by Daniel Defoe in "The Political History of the Devil":
"Things as certain as Death and Taxes, can be more firmly believed."
Note that the book about the Devil’s role in history, which goes along with the religious theme of the album. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
