i hope i'm not completely out of line for saying this, but i've always had the idea that part of this song is about having sex with someone when you're kind of being pressured into it. "if there's a god then i'm letting him go, all for you." for someone who was religious, premarital sex would in a sense mean letting god go. another thing that kind of related to that is "a love you light is a love soon gone." which i've always interpreted as the same as the Emarosa lyric "love turns to lust then back to nothing."
it also talks about her falling asleep next to him.
oh and when it says "if this is it, don't bother, cuz this love is a lie. i'm a chemical kid, you're a mechanical bride." it could mean that he's seeing that their "love" was really nothing more than lust, and therefore not going anywhere. as for the chemical kid/mechanical bride thing i'm not really sure what that means lol.
oh and then there's the whole "pastel red and porn star white" thing...which sounds rather sexual to me haha.
the video isnt really related to this concept, but it is about letting go and taking a chance (the boy leaving the house.) so i can kind of see the similarity.
To me i think the part "Pastel red and porn star white" is describing the colors of the next line "ghost on the alter" the ghost is porn star white, which you're right is about sex... and the alter is red.
Idk if thats right but it sounds about right to me.

@DollFaceAdalia I'm not sure about the pastel-red being about the altar. I was thinking that they were referring to the woman. The woman was porn star white and the pastel-red I assumed was about her lips. Women that are super white with the red lipstick are usually viewed as a seductress, which I see with this song.

@DollFaceAdalia I think you're right. And the "Chemical Kid/ Mechanical Bride" is the type of love. The "Chemical Kid" (in this case Vic) is looking for a chemical love, as in the real attraction and feelings for each other. The "Mechanical Bride" want something physical. Just like mechanics are parts working together, she wants his body and hers to work together, but no emotion.

So to me, it's almost as if he wants a real love, with emotions like a human or any living thing. She wants a physical relationship, almost like (what comes to mind for me) a car. Parts work together, but that's it. No emotion.
