This song has always reminded me of Aromantic and/or Asexual people, especially a few specific lines. Wait 'til you're announced We've not yet lost all our graces (The aro/ace people who are still in the closet and pretend to have feelings for people to fit in with them) Dancin' around the lies we tell (Again, pretending to be strait to fit in) We live in cities you'll never see on-screen Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things (Aro/ace people are constantly underrepresented, maybe because they don't form cute ships. But a lot of out-of-the-closet ones are happy to be single) Livin' in ruins of a palace within my dreams And you know we're on each other's team (The "Palace within my dreams" is the classic Disney storytelling where we see beautiful couples living happily ever after in magical palaces. The palace is in ruins because they know that was just a childhood fantasy and isn't really what they want. Instead, they can look for friendship and support in other aro/ace people) I'm kind of over gettin' told to throw my hands up in the air So there (Aro/ace people who have seen a lot of celebration of LGBTQ and wish some one would think to celebrate aro/ace too) And everyone's competing for a love they won't receive 'Cause what this palace wants is release (All the aro/ace people forcing themselves to be in relationships because of compulsory heterosexuality who would be a lot happier out of the closet) Anyways, as an aro/ace person I have always related to this song, even though I know this isn't really what its about. |

I know this isn't what the song is about but it always reminded me of the PJO/HOO/ Rick Riordan's books in general so I'll just break it down. Welcome to your life There's no turning back (This refers to how once the demigods know who they are they can't go back to having a normal life) Even while we sleep We will find you (This refers to how the monsters are constantly tracking the demigods) Acting on your best behaviour (This refers to the strict rules of the Roman legion and how they are punished if they don't follow them) Turn your back on mother nature (This refers to how the demigods fought and defeated Gaea, the Earth Mother) Everybody wants to rule the world (The gods, giants, and other forces that are always fighting for control) It's my own design It's my own remorse (The multiple demigods who sided with evil forces and had to sacrifice themselves to set things right) Help me to decide (Some demigods are unsure of where to side because they are supposed to side with the gods, who treat them badly or ignore them, while the enemy promises they will be treated better) Help me make the most Of freedom and of pleasure Nothing ever lasts forever (The way the demigods try to be happy while they can knowing that eventually they will have to fight more battles) There's a room where the light won't find you (This definitely refers to Tartarus) Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down (This refers to Percy and Annabeth and/or Nico and Will, both of whom fell into Tartarus holding hands so they wouldn't be separated) When they do I'll be right behind you (This refers to either Percy or Will, who both traveled into Tartarus so their partners wouldn't be alone in it) So glad we've almost made it So sad they had to fade it (The way demigods always think they have won or the danger is gone, but usually end up being killed or attacked again) Again, this is just what I think of when I hear the lyrics, and I love applying song lyrics to books. Let me know what you think ;) |
