Heathens Lyrics

All my friends are heathens take it slow
Wait for them to ask you who you know
Please don't make any sudden moves
You don't know the half of the abuse

All my friends are heathens take it slow
Wait for them to ask you who you know
Please...

   I think it means... Someone is trying to convince another person not to join their gang either on the streets or in prison.. "I tried to warn you just to stay away. It looks like you might be one of us." I don't know that's how interpreted it

   I think that this song is about how having bad friends can kind of mess you up . Trust me I know from personal experience that having friends who just care about being bad can mess up your mental state . Even though you still care about them because their your friends . It also is really bad when their doing stuff to hurt you .

   I herd it was a type of worship to the devil and you don't know the 1/2 of the abuse means the singer was abused by his mom a lot and his father watched and laughed and his mom was a meth and drug alcoholic. but his friends also concededly abuse him and if his mom or dad saw bad grades they chain him up and abuse him

   Heathens is a term for a bad person, like a criminal, or bully or someone like that. So it is basically talking about the person being friends with a bad person, and saying you can never know the true personality of your true friends. They could look nice, when they in fact could be murderers. And I you hang with the bad people, not after long, you too, will be a heathen.
