    LYRICS:
    So I arrived, naked and cold
    A welcomed change from the abeyance of a ghost town catacomb
    No need for counsel I appreciate the time I’m not alone
    (Why don’t you get my lawyer on the phone)
    There were days these child eyes
    Would overlook the ugliness and fantasize
    I found my heart for the first time and I awakened in me
    I left myself to navigate… and oh I felt control
    (It appears these sheep have quite an appetite)
    Who is the crowd that peers through the cage,
    As we perform here upon the stage?
    As the boy became a man
    In came a calm sophistication I can hardly understand
    So lost in ego, didn’t notice when the time had slipped away
    (Yeah, Everyone’s got a sob story)
    Jesus Christ, was born to die
    Leave it to man to levitate his own to idolize
    We’re simply sociopaths with no communication baby
    I see your angle but we differ from our points of view
    (So, what’s your cross to bear)
    Who is the crowd that peers through the cage,
    As we perform here upon the stage?
    Tell me a lie in a beautiful way
    I believe in answers
    Just not today
    Hope my wheels don’t abandon me now, seein’ that I’m out here alone
    I’m runnin’ out of fight
    And the wind speaks a comforting voice, guiding me to her arms
    Mother, I’m alright
    It took the birth of sin to snake-rattle the mind
    Before a blow to the head by the gavel of time to wake up
    Won’t you wake up?
    When did the walking apes decide that nuclear war
    Was now the only solution for them keeping the score? Just wake up
    Can’t you wake up?
    (You do know this is just a simulation, don’t you?)
    Who is the crowd that peers through the cage,
    As we perform here upon the stage?
    Tell me a lie in a beautiful way
    I believe in answers
    Just not today

      It's a scary statement because it explains and defines a lot of psychopaths on this planet who would happily do it.
      I think the thing that really effectively closes that is when he shouts "JUST WAKE UP"
      As Exist says, we're 'resource-hungry people'. And yet sometimes we can't see past our own small world's.

    I can’t believe I just realize the symbolism of this video. (If you disagree let me know what you think I’m all ears but here is what I think) The People, Us, we were watching history and learning about it and how tragic it was with killing, mass murder, and war being the only solution we knew and we were laughing at it when in the end we are going to be the ones up next to perform on the stage and the next generation is going to do the same, laugh at us like we did with the generation below us. It’s a endless cycle. Avenge is/was telling us to wake up from this chaos of mass destruction and break the cycle or we are going to see history start all over again.

      It would make sense because he says at the end 'when did the waking apes decide that a nuclear war was the only solution for them keeping the score?' backing up your point of saying modern society is on route and track to make the same mistake of the last couple hundred years (America and Korea escalating tensions are an example) with him to say "just wake up"
      And then to further back up what you're saying, the first verse comes back to say we're all just performing the extreme acts of the violence in the name of "someone wall call God" (that's from Exist), to conquer and resolve disputes (and sometimes to satisfy our ego). Will this generation become like our predecessors? Simply performing up on the stage so our next generation can laugh in both disgust and have the attitude of 'well yes but we're not like them'.
      Thanks, by the way, this song has a view now!
      This song and Exist are amazing.

      It has a bit more meaning than many people realize. You know that green monster hand, holding the puppet strings, at the end? Three years ago, I was exposing and encouraging opposition to the New World Order, when all this paranormal and UFO activity started happening around me. I started getting overtly harassed and my life threatened, by, what turned out to be evil telepathic reptilian demon monsters and their disembodied souls, no joke, at all. They have the natural ability to read our conscious minds, see through our eyes and hear through our ears, utilizing quantum entanglement. They can secretly, telepathically manipulate our minds. They're the crowd that peers through the cage, and are secrerly behind all the evil in the world. They literally get high on some energy, produced by our suffering.
      I prayed to be sent angels, and extremely intelligent, benevolent reptilian, "angels," who are currently at war with the demons, contacted me, and told me they wouldn't let the demon monsters anywhere near me, physically. It's now my job to expose the demons. They threaten to kill me in all kinds of ways, hit me with telepathic attacks, electronic weapons from the sky and even beg me to stop, sometimes. These evil pieces of excrement are going down, currently, but they'll be trying to blow up everything they can, on their way down.
      Summary, with evidence:

"Come, take a trip with me, but don't be surprised when things aren't what they seeeeeem," as dancing hot girls turn into nasty old dudes, with snake toungs. Keep this stuff in mind, next time you listen to A7x's older stuff (and Pinkly Smooth), Shinedown (his monsters are real, watch the animated video. He was aent to warn you, The Devil's right beside you), and Muse (Origin of symmetry). And consider there was one or two non-evil hybrids in A7x. Listen for the clues.

    This video guts me every damn time. I miss those days. I will always remember my band "Skelton Crew". We called ourselves "Headache" at first to annoy our parents (that's self-explanatory). We were sitting there at practice one day wondering why out of 4 people we could only get 3 of us at any given time to show up to practice (we were helions and most of the time at least one of us was grounded, lol).
    So we're all standing there, and out of frustration, our sing/bass player just blurts out, WHY THE FUK ARE WE ALWAYS WORKING WITH THE "SKELTON CREW"! Needless to say, we all just looked at each other, and Brian said, "Yeah, I think I just changed our name." We all agreed, and we were reborn as Skelton Crew.

      The French Revolution doesn't seem to fit though. Because it's the very opposite; Monarchie brought down by the people. So the meaning might be, hopefully, something different than the weak and generic "fight the government" nonsense. I am pretty sure, things will turn out worse, after Brexit and Trump's presidency. America needs a lot of social changes ... the poverty is horrible, and they chose to vote against Obamacare but for someone famous for exploiting his workers and the government. The reason why Trump isn't in the video is, hopefully, that they thought he was never going to make it to president.

There was murder and corruption since the beginning. Early humans were no better than the humans of today. They conclude by expressing that this innate nature of getting a one up on the other through murder shows that we may quite possibly all kill ourselves, and nobody wins but the theme, death.

      When you look at it from nature's perspective we been going towards kindness at a incredible speed our bodys haven't even gotten time to evolved with our culture. So while I appreciated the message of stop doing war, it's always a bit weird we so hard on our self.

This is the representation of how they want everyone to know how it at all went. And it just makes this entire song somehow even better, considering how flawlessly everyone performed (even Shadows with vocal surgeries) and how much emotion that you can't just replicate went into this recording.
