  • Enjoy :)
    If you were there, beware
    The serpent soul pinchers
    Three hundred and fifty no thank yous and nobody flinches
    Go on girl go on, give us something gruesome
    We require your grief, the thugs help the thieves
    As they're trying to rob the words from her gob and
    Take the source of the innocents
    If you were there, beware
    The serpent soul pinchers
    Can't you sense she was never meant
    To fill column inches
    And you've had enough, what you're trying to dig up
    Isn't there to be dug, the thieves help the thugs
    As they're trying to beat the good grace of a sweetheart
    Out to the point she'll comply
    Why leave her on her own
    If I'd have known then I wouldn't have said it
    I wouldn't have said it if I would have known
    Why leave her on her own
    If I predicted tears then I wouldn't have said it
    I wouldn't have said it if I would have known
    There's a circle of witches, ambitiously vicious they are
    Our attempts to remind them of reason won't get us that far
    I don't know what it is that they want
    I don't know what it is that they want
    But I haven't got it to give
    She hasn't got it to give

    This song is about his girl dating someone famous. In the song the paparazzi would harass you and try to get every words outta you, to make a storyline and show the social media. He tells the story in such a dark and gloomy way using vivid metaphors and such. He’s warning that if you date someone famous, you’ll be vulnerable to the media just as she was..

      Thanks for this, it made much more sense going by this interpretation. You're super smart.

      English is not my mother tongue so its kinda hard to understand their lyrics. Now that you said it makes so much sense to me. I've always wondered what he meant by 'column inches' and now I got it. Thanks!

    • @thebalancerseye5765
      @thebalancerseye5765 Před 2 lety +9

      it's because the riff has that odd thing where it doesn't necessarily end or resolve itself, also a bunch of scales used in metal, makes you feel uneasy.
