i ment parts in the video, but i had no clue about the lesbian couple

actually this song is about a lesbian couple living in a place where they arent tolerated.

Each part is in the name of religion.

We're talking about the video interpretation smart guy. Keep your witty adages to yourself. And yes the 3 parts do refer to hierarchy not specifically highschool hierarchy. Joan of Ark - was underestimated because of her sex and seen as a lesser person. The conquerers saw themselves as the top of the hierarchy and considered the indians savages. And everyone looks at what occured in the donner party as a despicable and savage act even though they'd do the same in that situation.

So I was wondering, the 3 parts, Joan of Arc, the Conquerers, and the Donner Party, do they relate to the 2 girls and the high school hierarchy?

A truly brilliant song ...

You folks dont see the trees for the forest. It's about high school and the heirarchy within. LISTEN to the song.
