forgotten stories of excess
both real and fiction
too many hollow lives spent chasing benediction
we plummet to the earth like scores of fallen angels
play out our tragedies on empty weathered stages
but before we lose it all
the final curtain call
conflicted and dejected
beware the opulence inherent in confusion
when reality's obscured by clouds of disillusion
held under far too long by the weight of our existence
we labor fruitlessly against both time and distance
but before we lose it all
the final curtain call
conflicted and dejected
what's in the past can't be undone
you've got to separate to become one
your indecision hides the guilt
just underneath your clouded eyes
so sick you'd sell your soul
for another fifteen minute lie
both real and fiction
too many hollow lives spent chasing benediction
we plummet to the earth like scores of fallen angels
play out our tragedies on empty weathered stages
but before we lose it all
the final curtain call
conflicted and dejected
beware the opulence inherent in confusion
when reality's obscured by clouds of disillusion
held under far too long by the weight of our existence
we labor fruitlessly against both time and distance
but before we lose it all
the final curtain call
conflicted and dejected
what's in the past can't be undone
you've got to separate to become one
your indecision hides the guilt
just underneath your clouded eyes
so sick you'd sell your soul
for another fifteen minute lie

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

i cant make out what the first part of the song means and i have the cd. but after line 15, i think that it is about someone you know that would do or give anything to put themselves above others or be more successful at something.
