| I also think he would never say it is about Konstantine because he hates playing that old song because it gives him such bad memories, so this is his way of moving on from Konstantine without getting the fans all crazy to play it again. | |

| I think it means forget about the stupid shit in life and just love. When good times are over, cherish what you actually have. Seek the truth. | |

I definitely think it's an old reference to Konstantine, even if Andrew says it or not. The girl is the same, not a real person, just the sort of constant in his life. He makes it all about the piano, because that's precisely what Konstantine is, This song is about giving up the old and moving on with the new, but the old will forever remain with him. |

"The catholic school bit-- on the surface, he's just telling a story about his youth. He's saying he went to a catholic school that was very strict (i.e., roman rule) The nuns (ladies in black) used to hit him on the knuckle with a ruler (bruised knuckles). One of those nuns told him that fear is the heart of love (christianity teaches christians are to fear god, and from that fear comes love for him). Ben rejects this, but doesn't respond (biting his tongue) and leaves the school (never went back)--or, in a wider interpretation, leaves the faith altogether. It seems like this verse is included to explain why he doesn't particularly care for either heaven or hell, instead just seeing the afterlife as a darkness." -cybercyph I totally agree with the statement above, but i believe the entire song is about death. They add that verse in the song to back up from where he is coming from when he says that. In the first verse (No blinding light Or tunnels to gates of white), the common belief about death is blinding lights and tunnels of pure white, he is saying that when they die, they won't see that, they will just have each other and their memories. [Those beliefs have actually been proven that when your dying you lose your eyesight, when your eyes slowly die out it creates a small hole which you see the light, which is very intensely bright, people think its heaven, it's just earth, but your cornia gets really small) Then (If heaven and hell decide That they both are satisfied And illuminate the "no"s On their vacancy signs) Kindof stating how he doesn't believe in heaven or hell at all, they'll just be together. (The time for sleep is now But it's nothing to cry about 'Cause we'll hold each other soon In the blackest of rooms) One of the important part of the songs. Stating how death is unstoppable, its just a matter of when. When you eventually die, you shouldn't cry or have fears about it, it's only natural. The part about holding each other song is kindof contradicting what he was saying before, but he clears it up with "In the blackest of rooms" meaning there is no afterlife, its just darkness. One of the hardest things to explain to a human, is that after this life, there is nothing else. You cest to exist basically, sure family memories and evidence of your life is still there, but you as a person cese to exist. I think he is trying to convey that in this song. It talks about his disbelief in god, disbelief in heaven and hell or any afterlife. Death shouldn't be something to be afraid of either. It's just another part of life. |
