Mother May I

Claudio Sanchez: “Now, the Writer is realizing that he is the father of this story, and these are his children. The Character is losing it, and these papers are lined up in front of him, and these papers in blood is ‘God only knows’ and that’s the answer to his questions.”

This explanation ends a lot of debate about Writer’s role. As Claudio S. explains, the Character (Claudio Kilgannon) is torn by grief, hesitation, and confusion concerning his destiny. He’s tortured by visions of the Lost Souls of the Keywork being used in their afterlife for Ryan’s devious ambition to fuel the Keywork. As Claudio is thrust into new situations, he doubts his ability to handle them. Chase, the Vishual, can hear what Writer thinks and says, and tries to reassure Claudio, but he is unchanged. As Claudio S. says, he spreads out papers in front of him that spell out “God only knows,” which is significant because Writer has newly realized himself as the God of their universe. Claudio’s fate is in God, or Writer’s hands, not his own. At this point, these two parallel characters begin to collide. Though cryptic, the lyrics in this song explain the evolution of these two men’s destinies. -CobaltandCalcium.com

oook... first to comment... i realy think this is whereclaudio (in the story) is talkin to sanchez... hes basicly tellin him... "go ahead... leave me... but only after you fans hear the rest of the story... then you can live in peace"... see realy and truely... i dont want co&ca to stop... sanchez has alot goin with his fans and all... most of us look up to him... like myself... do you guys know what i do everyday???... i try to figure out the story... listening to my cd player and writing things down that would make sense of the story... iv even tryd to branch off the story of co&ca... but i didnt continue afiad the sanchez would somhow find out and take me to court for copyright... lol... but i would realy like to hear one more stroy before he lets all of this go... anyone agree???

i think that it means:

claudio is trying to finish up the story and cd's so he can go back to a normal life

"so give them the story they want you too"

"the mode of true and earnest side"

-complete lyrics

I think you are wrong the lyrics are I'll leave the light off to turn your mother on

What the hell does that mean? Who's mother?

Yo momma... Just kidding. that's a little rude... I don't want to picture claudio with anyone's mom

Yo momma... Just kidding. that's a little rude... I don't want to picture claudio with anyone's mom

It's Claudio's real world counterpart, The Writer. That might clear a few things up for people without spoiling much.

So does this mean that this is their last CD?
