So the stars align and leave you behind You want it sewn up I come by light of an autumn moon Sister you know enough He's talking about his little sister entering a world of sin, he's visiting his sister in october under an autumn moon. Obviously everybody is a sinner, and everybody is lying about it, talking about the voices in her head scalding her tender mind after she gets done slutting her whore ass at a party all night. She made all her friends bein a slut or biasedly supporting them for her self esteem which is why he references she's dependant on them. The last lines of the song show that even though he is a good influence and he is keeping it real with her to make her own choices and be aware of what's real in life socially, that he is still in on it with the immoral group and condones that sort of behavior, and she's got him wrong if she thinks otherwise. |

| Broken Bells – Trap Doors Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Society is sinful, and when teens are starting to leave their adolescence, peer groups try to create a social power scheme to protect their sinful motivations in life. The song is directed to one of James Mercer's friends that is trying to claim independence for himself as a mature adult, while all of his friends are trying to harass him into accepting their sinful lifestyles and conforming. I think the timing of the song is meant that James' friend has been at battle against his peers for awhile and he's losing himself. He doesn't want to see his friend as a tragedy in the end, so James is trying to remind his friend of what his motivations for life originally were. The references of "trap doors to endless wisdom" and "preaching to the choir" are metaphors for the lies that are plotted out by the collective group of manipulative sinners practicing bigotry over their peer groups to keep control for personal indulgences. When you're continually harassed, and you continually explain the immorality of the group harassing you, you are "preaching to the choir", but you are educating yourself with the wisdom of knowing the "trap doors" that are used to manipulate peers into succumbing. Pick the pieces up, keep your eyes looking forward, and watch your back so you don't let your sloth or wrath drag you down into carelessness, foolishness and immorality. Let the sheep trample each other like wolves, and forget "us", even if that includes James as a friend to be forgotten. |
