Feel so cold now
as the glitter skies turn to gold
coldness is usually a bad feeling if you're not talking about the weather. The second line seems like theres hope, with gold and glitter...it gives a really pretty mental picture. He might mean that its so cold in your heart, even though you have richness and material posessions and all you want is to be loved.........
and you do as you're told
and swallow your bitter pill
how many of us like to do as were told? Its human nature to want and do the opposite. You don't want to do as you're told, but you do and it anyways and it makes you bitter towards everything, because you feel as if you have no control over your own life, because you don't have the "freedon of choice."
and though you search for higher ground
and dance to the moon like you're spellbound
in your nothing world where no one lives
You want to be above all, but since you're always doing as your told, your never gonna get there, because you won't be allowed to decide for yourself. You go to the moon, or far away, where no one will find you and you can do as you please. The third line is so, so sad. But it could be a good thing to be isolated from people who will make you do as your told and give you bitter pills.
did you fall from grace
and the rhythm of it all
did you make your place in the darkness as you crawled
oh.....this is SO pretty in the song. Pat has thee most beautiful voice, espically in this song, and this part. What I think hes saying here is that you are realizing that you did lots of things you regret and you want to change them, but since you can't the best thing is to get back up and do as you always did and keep your mistakes in mind so you don't do it again. And the last line is, I think, saying that in the darkness, alone, you had to crawl and grovel for a place alone, where no one will miss you, or see you.
feel so old now
as the madness moves uncontrolled
Feeling old....that could mean that your old (wow...I'm pretty damn smrt.) or it could mean that you feel old and you feel like you're dead, but your young and you shouldn't have this many regrets because you haven't really begun to live......I think. Madness usually moves uncontrolled. When there is pure anger and insanity, there is NO control over it and you can't stop it, because there is no control.
you fall to the floor
and lie like a broken doll
and with a poison bloodstain on your gown
the floor. not a nice place to be. The floor (when its used in a song) is always a bad thing, because it gives the vision that you're lower and scummier than the people who aren't on it. a broken doll. when I was a kid, I didn't have too many dolls, because I was such a tomboy and I loved to play with Transformers and GI Joes.....but dolls are liike a symbol of childhood and back in the time where you never thought about the world to come, or the future. Posion bloodstain...I really like this line. Form the way I see it (this a a wild thing too...I'll try to explain it clearly.) if you die of posioning, then you don't bleed, unless it's some weird acid that eats away at your skin. So is this saying that as you die like a broken doll, you die many deaths? I don't know..I think that I'm making up some big thing because I always have to have deper meanings in the songs I hear, even if they aren't there.........
throw the crown that you found
and scream like a hellhound
the crown that you found.this might mean that you FOUND a crown, you didn't earn it and you don't really deserve it...or it might symbolize that you moved to the higher ground (like being a princess...) and you realize that even though you are there, you are still depressed and alone. So you scream, in hope that someone will hear you scream, but there is no one to save you.......
in your empty room
with your empty soul
Empty....you can be in an empty room and feel happy...or you can be in an empty room and be happy...but in this case,the room is empty and no one is hearing you screem like a hellhound. Your soul is empty....this is all so sad and depressing to think about. Emptness is usually isolation and sadness.........
did you fall from grace
and the rhythm of it all
did you make your place
in the darkness as you crawled.......180 degrees
Ok...this is the same as the chorus above, except that he whispers "180
degrees". The angle of a triangle all add up to 180°. And the corner is a
triangle, in the empty room alone, whith your empty soul.........that seems
like the basic idea of it.
