"and the masquerade" - like I said before, everyone is just a fake "so they dug your grave" - everyone is just waiting for you to fall too, because they know you will "when the lights fade out all the sinners crawl" - but when your not looking anymore, the people are just humble sinners on their hands and knees just like everyone else
"when the curtain call is the last of all" - the show's over, now you see who the people really are, but they've still got smiles on their faces "don't get too close, it's dark inside" - you're too innocent for me
"when you feel my heat look into my eyes, it's where my demons hide" - I may seem like a better person on the outside, but in reality I'm just as bad as everyone else on the inside, I've got problems too "this is my kingdom come" - this is my reality, i realize that now, and this is as good as it's getting "no matter what we breed, we still are made of greed" - same idea.man's fallen traits are engrained in him, and you can't make them go away "but with the beast inside, there's nowhere we can hide" - the things that make man fallen are inside of him, so he could cut her off completely from bad people and she would still have a beast inside her "I wanna hide the truth, I wanna shelter you" - he wants to hide the terrible world from someone he loves "the bloods fun stale" - nobody has passion anymore "and the ones we hail are the worst of all" - the people who have the most influence are the people are are the worst influences (famous musicians, etc.) "when your dreams all fail" - life is getting hard and things aren't happening for people "the saints we see are all made of gold" - there isn't anyone truly good left "the cards all fold" - everyone has given up "when the days are cold" - things are dark and depressing That parent is hoping for their child to bring back all the good in the world. Yes, at first it seems like a silly idea, but an innocent child could represent hope for a future generation. "I can't escape this now unless you show me how."Įarlier, I stated that this song could be a parent talking to a son or daughter, and while most older people would be expected to state that they know better because they are older, this parent is ASKING FOR ADVICE FROM A CHILD. While the song, in general, appears to be dark, pay attention to this line:
(This line could refer to depression and how they may feel like they never tried hard enough to help those around them - As if everything is their fault.)Įven the parent can't say that they are completely good with the lyrics, "Don’t get too close. "And the masquerade will come calling out at the mess you made." (No matter how hard you try, you can never avoid the truth of a broken reality.) More lyrics point out how corrupted the world can be: Innocence is such a precious thing, but modern society has made it so easy to lose our childish perspective of a fairy tale. It's as if they are trying to tell their son/daughter that the world isn't all good and that there are so many ways to lose innocence. These lyrics seem to have a protective feeling, like a parent talking to their son or daughter. "Don’t want to let you down, but I am hell bound." *slaps hands together* Time to interpret one of my favourite songs!įirst, allow me to highlight a few lyrics:
