@[monsterosity:3303] I'm curious because the Pied Piper was hired to rid the city of rats and when the city failed to pay him him used his skill to lure the city's children into the forest, never to be seen again. Using music to attract the children, much the same way a music artist does. There's no wrong interpretation, as my English teacher once said; but I think you and Androgyne are on point. |

@[Androgyne:3301] I think you nailed it on the head. But I don't think the lyrics are accurate. "It's no easier mission" sounds more like "It's no easy OMISSION". If I'm right, it gives your interpretation more meaning. The person admitting they're lying to themselves by "holding on to how I picture you". It's saying the image I have of you is wrong because I refuse to accept how you've changed or how you're different. Likewise, I hear "moving in and out of THOSE shadows" in the first line, and that, again, puts this song in a first person perspective as someone observing MJK as he frequently would sing obscured by shadows, or hiding his face in some way. |
