'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.'Д®arlier, 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.)Д®ven the parent can't say that they are completely good with the lyrics, 'DonвЂ™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. 'DonвЂ™t want to let you down, but I am hell bound.' *slaps hands together* Time to interpret one of my favourite songs!ДЇirst, allow me to highlight a few lyrics:
