My InterpretationThe first four lines remind me of Icarus flying too close to the sun ("we should've been afraid of heights"), or perhaps the gods themselves, feeling they had power over everything - but they behaved recklessly ("moths to the flame" - moths tend not to survive an encounter with fire). You left me with a bittersweet taste.īut they won't, they won't know my heart. Into the fortress that you're stuck behind. You left me with a bittersweet taste.īut when I send my heart your way, it bounces off the walls you made.Ĭause I've been told that I'm dragging it out,īut I've been dying just to see your face. You'd hang on every word I'd say, but now they only ricochet. We were one in the same, running like moths to the flame. They protected me from becoming my demons.Īnd even if this song isnt about definitely speaks to me in that sense.When we should have been afraid of heights. I wasn't insane, but.people would have thought I was. I found later.they were manifestations of the friends i never had, made to help cope with my loneliness and depression. We were one in the same, and I wanted to be so.
Others didn't understand! They only knew what they were told. They were not my demons, no matter what others thought. I now profit as a sing still gets to me. Today I use the memory and personalities of my old friends as characters. Hid behind my hero's, and they protected me from my demons. They'd take me to a hospital, give me a pill, and id never hear my voices again. Just because i got through my problems in different ways. The fear that if anyone outside of my mind found out about them.they'd kill my voices, assuming they were bad just because they were voices. When I had these voices, I had a fear they couldn't save me from. They made me feel better, kept me from hurting myself or others, and protected me from things I feared. They kept me from ending up like everyone i hated. But the voices always told me to go forwards. I had a disorder that gave me multiple personalaties in my mind.
I know all too well what this song is about.

Then in that moment, they let out one last yell for help, struggling and fighting against the inner evil and at the end with the slow statement it can be either they succeed and are free of the evil within or lost and they are completely taken in. That moment of silence kicks in with the slow sounding music, hinting that the corrupting is completely taking over. The climax comes into play as they pretty much beg for someone's help as they become the very monster they fear the most. But they can feel some hope as they know someone is watching out there The corrupting continues in the second verse as, like a plague, the corrupting of the inner evil begins taking hold of them and they can't stop it as it takes control. And then they scream out, begging for help from these demons that are taking over. But then the first chorus comes up and it can be assumed that it's about that inner evil, saying they are one in the same, that they take away all the pain. They think I'm crazy, but they don't k ow the feeling.", is setting up that they are suffocated and taken in by these inner demons. To me, this song is about your own inner evil and struggling to overcome it.
