| One thing I'd like to point out is how he knew to send the dragon back to the past. In Part 1, he describes the "Massive screaming best with wings of reaper's cloth" standing outside his cave. The listener assumes it's a pterodactyl, but I believe it was the same dragon he had sent back in time in Part III. | |

I'm sure it's pretty obvious, but the song seems to me about teaching the ways of psychopathy to an apprentice, teaching him to manipulate and deceive to get what he wants. One of the common practices is to turn a group of people against someone, using charisma and clever words to get them on your side without them realizing it. Then having that apprentice use what he learned to manipulate the tutor. "Show me how to lie, you're getting better all the time." Dialogue of the tutor and the student. "And turning all against the one is an art that's hard to teach." Pretty obvious. He's teaching him the ways of manipulation. "Another clever word sets of an unsuspecting herd" The group that the student is attempting to manipulate the crowd to go against one person. "And as you step back in the line, a mob jumps to their feet." The tutor's done his job and now the group is all turned against his target. "Dance, fucker, dance. He never had a chance." Obvious meaning here. He's pulling the strings of the puppets that are his victims. He manipulates them to do what he wants. "And no one even knew it was really only you." They didn't even realize he was manipulating them. "And now you'll steal away." His work's done, so he's gone. "Take him out today." Obvious. "Nice work you did." Obvious. The tutor's proud. "You're gonna go far kid." Obvious. "With a thousand lies and a good disguise." It refers to the person he was pretending to be and all the lies he made to manipulate the people. "Hit 'em right between the eyes." Find their weak points and exploit them. "When you walk away, nothing more to say, see the lightning in your eyes, see them running for their lives." When he's done, he feels the thrill he gets from successfully manipulating a group to his will. "Slowly out of line And drifting closer in your sight So play it out, I'm wide awake It's a scene about me There's someone in your way And now someone is gonna pay If you can't get what you want Well it's all because of me" This whole part suggests that the tutor was realizing he was creating a monster and confronts the student. However, the student has now surpassed the master and is now done with him. Since he's the only one who knows what he is, he has to be dealt with. "Now dance, fucker, dance Man, I never had a chance And no one even knew It was really only you And now you'll lead the way Show the light of day Nice work you did You're gonna go far, kid Trust, deceived" Pretty much the same thing as last time, just applying to the tutor. The rest of the song is just chorus. Although, I'd like to point out that the line "No more alibis, mow them down like flies," is incorrect. It's, "Clever alibis, Lord of the Flies." Clever alibis is obvious, but "Lord of the Flies" refers to the character (a pig's head on a stick, actually) in a book with the same name who deceives a young boy. |
