| The Receiving End Of Sirens – Planning A Prison Break Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I can see where you are coming from wordage, you could say that a bad relationship is something the protagonist is trying to get out of, but the song still brings the message of "striving to be a better person each day", and gettinh out of a tumultous relationship can be just that. The Warden is himself, he calls for a lockdown, he does not want to break free of his addiction/unhealthy state of mind/what-have-you, citing "interim inequities" as an excuse. This is when the "This is the last night in my body' comes in, and with that motivation he orders a jailbreak, to do away with the addiction. "Somehow, for now, this skin will have to do", I get a slight Christian vibe based on the perspective of "for now". Not unthinkable since some of the band members thank God in the album credits. "We can swallow this key and leave when we please". The key represents your power in overcoming an addiction, when your key is in your 'stomach' you should not think that you can easily get out of an addiction, we should not overestimate our own self-restraint and underestimate the power of an addiction. The next line "Let's hope his stomach disagrees", regurgitate out the key to be able to use it. That is how I view it. |

From what I got out of the lyrics, the song is about a lost of a loved one. "No answers when you're not around." complements this meaning. There are other lyrics in the song that I got the feeling of lost from. "You could tie a string Around the place where it used to show" If you tie a string around your finger and form a knot, it can look like a wedding ring. I am not sure about the first bridge(the lyrics before the chorus), I am speculating that the person, feeling so grieved, is starting to see things. Just my opinion. |

Like flexible mentioned, I agree that the song is probably about suicide, however I get the imagery of a pilot no longer wanting to fly the plane, and is bracing himself for impact. Lyrics like "Mayday, ground control to no one, Empty the seats and put away the maps", can be taken as no one cares whether the person does crash and burn, hence said individual decides to give up his responsibilities, and his life. |
