Millionaires Lyrics
We fall asleep on the runway underneath the neon crucifix where they left a light on for us tonight
Fed my self to the sickness and purge myself of the cure
We watch the nurses pace the cage
You and I, we’re never gonna die
Never gonna die in the white lights
You and I are never gonna die
Servants, suffocate the king
We’ve come to take what we don’t need and build a prison where cathedrals used to be
We burn every office
Zombies prowl through the school chanting: “This is ours to love and take apart at will”
Here we are right now
These wires
These woven webs conceal the blueprints from me
Here we are right now
Sometimes we kill the lights
Pretend that we survived
We’re never gonna die
Fed my self to the sickness and purge myself of the cure
We watch the nurses pace the cage
Never gonna die in the white lights
You and I are never gonna die
We’ve come to take what we don’t need and build a prison where cathedrals used to be
We burn every office
Zombies prowl through the school chanting: “This is ours to love and take apart at will”
These wires
These woven webs conceal the blueprints from me
Here we are right now
Pretend that we survived
We’re never gonna die
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
Short but brilliant song, the meaning is kinda hard to tell, I think it refers to a relationship and humanity at a whole, that it always ends in darkness, instead of in the light... donno...
Reffers more to humanity than relationship, I think...
How we always think we're immortal and we're "never going to die" but really the darkness comes at the end, no matter who you are.. everyone's destined to die.
To me, it has two possible meanings: religion and money. Most likely money. The basic premise is that supreme dominion is, and always will be, in the hands of the rich: "This is ours to love and take apart at will."
"These woven webs conceal the blueprints from me" is James' lament of how things are changing solely to meet the expectations of the rich. Basically, that they've masked the original beauty ("blueprints") of things with "woven webs" and "wires."
"Sometimes we kill the lights/Pretend that we survived/We're never gonna die" Dying here is probably metaphorical. When the current millionaires pass out of existence, there will always be more to take their place, and the cycle of corporate ruin will persist.
Phew. You can tell I'm bored.
