Coheed and Cambria – The Broken Lyrics 15 years ago
This is the first chapter of the book The Year of the Black Rainbow

I'll follow your every move
in a stride that wills disguise,
little marking clue to find
Your red lips speak of painted figures,
the teeth of mangled little listeners,
the thoughts that hide your rusty scissors
and hooded men swinging honesty across this violence
Obscurity has no hero.

(Coheed and cambria follow the trails to a mine where wilhelm ryans men are mining the power of the keymork. they find a group of guards/minions or "little listeners" and for the most part destroy them. Coheed blows up one of their heads with his cannon and the bits of brain and and blood splatter on another guards face. the surviving guard in terror picks his comrades teeth off of his face, before being murdered himself. Coheed can shoot machetes out of his arm at the meare thought of it, hence the thoughts that hide your rusty scissors, and coheed discovers the truth of the opperation and he swings his cannon like a club into the masses of soldiers he and cambria battle.)

The world looks better when you're falling
Grace to comfort, enough to crawling
Divided we must pray for the broken, no one can fix us,
We are, we'll always be, the wronged.

(there are a series of crystaline structures that absorb and harness the power of the keywork. the keywork is a living entity of ghostlike souls, that i attribute the name "the broken" for. coheed destroys the harness holding up the structure and it begins to fall releasing the "broken" spirits. "the world looks better" as the structure falls.)

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah

Your touch seethes of emptiness,
the callous tips against the brush,

(i cannot decifer this part. it may have to do with cambria's abilities as a telepath.)

the world's now breaking off to crust.

(as C and C escape the mine, it begins to collapse and fall apart. This part in the book is pretty intense, infact the whole chapter is.)


The world looks better when you're falling
Grace to comfort, enough to crawling
Divided we must pray for the broken, no one can fix us,
We are, we'll always be, the wronged.

We're conspiring.

Where was your heart (hoarde?) when we needed it most?
Live in denial and I'll be your ghost
There is nothing to let go, only time will let you know
if you're worth anything and you know then
Giving up way too early.
Let the axis turn you free, and destroy everything you love.

(im not really sure if this has anything to do with the storyline, yet it may just be an explaination of the characters feelings. not too sure on this one)

The world looks better when you're falling
Grace to comfort, enough to crawling
Divided we must pray for the broken, no one can fix us,
We are, we are...
We are, we are...
We are, we'll always be, the wronged


as always discussion is welcome. im not entirely sure this is all correct. this is just what i believe the song is about :)

Coheed and Cambria – Here We Are Juggernaut Lyrics 15 years ago
i appologise, i had accidentally posted this last post in a rply to purple superman.

and btw to purple superman, your analogy for this song would be more correct for the song "the broken".

"Ive followed your every move in the stride that wills disguise little marking clue the find" is about finding the mine.
"your red lips speak of painted figures the teeth of mangled little listeners the thoughts that hife your rusty scissors and hooded men" discribes the battle in which coheed blasts apart the mangled little listeners or the minions of ryan. i believe he goes into excruciating detail about the men that hes killing and how their teeth get plastered on the soldiers faces as their heads explode. lol

Hey ive been a huge fan of coheed and cambria for a long time and i just finished reading the year of the black rainbow novel, so im gonna take a crack at solving the riddle of this song lol.

first, the novel and the book do not match up chronologically. the album was arranged, i can only assume, in a way that it musically pleasing for the listener. the story isnt as chronological as the book, so read the book if you wanna learn the story straight from the claudios mouth!

(Leonard and Pearl Hohenberger lost their son joseph in the crossfire of a battle between Wihelm Ryan and Covent Marths armies. Grieving for their son, they became bitter and distance, and pearl blamed leonard for their son's death. so Leonard decided somthing needed to be done, and much like the story of christ when an angel came to mary, a member of the prize called Paranioa came to leonard with a spark of inspiration. i will not discuss this in detail because you should read the book yourself.)

Keep your secrets in the dark,
Nothing matters any more.
Body's breaking, drive me crazy
This is not your place
No, this is not your playground, it's my heart.

(This line is Leonard Hohenberger thinking to himself, reminding himself to keep the secrets of the KBI project in the dark from Ryans forces. Nothing matters to him at all, not even life itself because he must avenge his sons death, to reconcile with his wife for letting him go. Bodies breaking could mean that his physical body is breaking under the stress, or memories of people dying in battle, or memories of his son and his sons friends being cut down in the fight. either way people are suffering. This is not your place to me is hohenberger exclaiming to ryan in his own mind that this is not your place to rule. It is not his place to turn his family and loved ones against him, its not his playground it is leonards life, and his emotions and everyone including his wife has been toying with them.)

We were stupid, we got caught
But nothing matters anymore, so what?
Here we are juggernaut

(Plain and simple, ryan caught leonard and sent mayo deftinwolf to collect coheed and cambria. they are weapons used against ryan and they must be brought to ryan's control. Juggernaut im pretty sure is a nickname for mayo deftinwolf because, well the description of him in the book is very juggernaut-y. in other words "Here we are juggernaut, you caught us. game over"

Courage broken, lashed to scars
Can this love be what I want?
Body's breaking, driving me crazy, it's your fault.

(Mayo captured Pearl and placed her in a glass coffin to suffer insanity until leonard delivered what ryan wanted. Leonard is devestated at this news and decides to give in to what ryan wants, even though his demands are unspeakably horrible (youl discover this in your reading of the book). can he be willing to do these horrible things to bring back the love of his life? is that what he really wants? "bodies breaking driving me crazy, its your fault" is clearly Pearl thinking to herself as her physical body and her mental fortitude are deteriorating in her glass coffin. At first she is strong willed againts ryan for the death of her son. but as ryan twists and winds his way into he mind, she loses the will and blames her husband for her misfortune saying "its all your fault leonard, you should be here instead of me."


We were stupid, we got caught
But nothing matters anymore, so what?
Here we are juggernaut

Hang us a hangman, we'll bury our burdens in blood.
Oh, so hang us a hangman, we'll bury our burdens in blood.

(Leonard, Coheed, Cambria, and Inferno all have a "heart to heart" about what must be done to save Pearl. They come to the ultimate conclusion that blood will be spilled. The hangman is Wilhelm Ryan.

Become stronger juggernaut.

(now this line confused me. If mayo is the juggernaut then it doesnt make sense for Leonard to will him to be stronger. In the book, the solution to the problem is that Leonard takes out coheed and cambrias hearts and replaces their blood with a powerful virus. This line may be describing making coheed stronger by introducing this virus. If anyone has thoughts on this please let me know :)

Answer me (did we take this too far?)
You've given all I could need (did we take this too far?)
Oh, but your kiss won't leave me be (did we take this too far?)
Cause your teeth just won't stop chewing out my heart.

(Did they go too far by building the KBI in defiance of ryan, but the love leonard has for his wife is too powerful and his guilt for letting his son go, and the blame from his wife chews at his heart daily.)
