| A Silent Film – You Will Leave A Mark Lyrics | 15 years ago |

"I am so ashamed of all the trouble I have caused, I am so ashamed of all these unopened doors I am so ashamed of what I have become." I think he is talking about Europe. How Europe is guilted into shame from their own acts of prejudice in the past, how they previously left the doors unopened to immigrants and non-Europeans, and are trying to make up for that by allowing them into their countries today. "I am so ashamed of what I have become." European countries have become giant wussies, they have let their defenses down. "Oh, my heart is bursting again Don't leave this mark Your eyes are turning away" Europe and the Western countries have a "mark" left on them due to their own mistakes in the past. Their heart is "bursting" at the regret they feel for their past actions, but the rest of the world's eyes are still turning away because they are disgusted or shamed at them. Nothing they do will earn their respect back. "I am of the west, I am fair skinned I deserve a bullet in my chest" The hatred that the rest of the world has towards the West has turned into personal guilt on Westerners themselves. They are guilted they deserve a bullet in their chest for being fair skinned, or part of a race who's ancestors commited crimes. "If I have no religion I've no reason to be scared I am going to hell but I just don't care." Europe has become secular and non-religious lately, but that has been changing. Religious extremist groups are growing. With the lack of policies, there is no safety anymore. An uprising of violence or conflict is inevitable, and the writer doesn't care if they go to hell when trouble breaks lose or they are killed, because they don't believe in hell anyway. That's just my take on it. |
