Gold. Guns. Girls.
This song comes straight from Ecclesiastes, specifically 3:11. Eternity is written on the hearts of every woman, man, boy and girl; what we have here in front of us will never be enough in light of Christ who alone is sufficient. This song uses sexual metaphor (not explicit) as a indictment on the human state and pursuit of more of what we already have to fill the void. The void is the size of eternity and cannot be filled by the temporal pursuits of money, power and sex which will never be enough. Western culture says "the pursuit of getting more of what you already have will make you happy." I smell lies.
