Opiate(The song)is about religion. More precisely about ministers/pastors, and how they just want you to let them tend you like a shephard tends sheep. Rape is not used in a sexual context here, just to clarify. My favorite is when he says: "Jesus Christ, why don't you come save my life now", it's in a subtley sarcastic, almost mocking way. Especially the "Jesus Christ" part. Brilliant. The best song on an excellent EP. Highly recommended.
