| A Perfect Circle – Sleeping Beauty Lyrics

it's everything he's tried to do for me... and couldn't.
she's trapped in her morbid world, and he's trying to save her from lost forever in the smothering dark. he's done everything in his power, and he's been exhausted. he thought he could be her prince charming, her hero. but her slumber was too deep to be interrupted, and now he must face the truth he has been dodging - that he can never save her from herself. |

i see we have quite the number of opinions on here, but for lack of a better way to express my thoughts on this particular song, i shall contribute. first thing that comes to mind is cutting. maybe that's just because i know. but there are so many more points. even the tone in which reznor sings this one song contributes to the emotional movement. his voice sounds so weak, hopeless, inferior for the first time. he sounds like a child. after so long of emotional maulings, one becomes numb, and he wants to prove to himself that, yes, he can still feel after all. and maybe if it hurts enough, it will block out everything else... but this is all in vain. he's so alone, and afraid to be otherwise, because he's been hurt so many times. all he knows is abandonment, and all he's left with is himself. his life is so meaningless to him; he'd give it up in a heartbeat, because all it is is souless filth. and his life is only disappointment and failures, because all he has is himself, and that's all he thinks of himself. everyone has moved on save him. and yet, with all these negative feelings about himself, he is forced to love it, because it is all he has to love. |

he's holding himself down, because he's afraid to get up. he's fallen and been hurt so many times, he's trapped himself. but maybe he wants someone to arrive, to help him up, and carry him on. because he would, if he could. |

who am i to interpret this piece? but i shall give my say, and then disappear. the meaning, to me, is so clear -cut- , but i only present opinion. the illustrative language presents images of the arms of "cutters" or "self-mutilators" ((or in my eyes, "body artists")) and the depression of all the fake smiles everyone hides behind. goals seem to float away from reach - all except death. and so this is of what he dreams. and, though his physical pain is self-inflicted, his emotional pain is out of his control. and maybe he hopes to fall into a permanent slumber.
or maybe it is about clowns? |
