Mechanical Heart Lyrics
retrace the steps that led
to a cellophane headdress
and they were found asphyxiated
in a pool of tears that follow
retrace the steps that led
to a cellophane headdress
and they were found asphyxiated
in a pool of tears that follow
breathe in
breathe out
rape this
and so then came discretion (suffering)
and all the secrets of the silent suffering (so they strayed)
and so they stray possession
murdering the suffer in
the silencing behind our walls
in the script of blood
they state that this is the purpose
and they were found asphyxiated
by all the words that were painted
keep your children locked up
there's the one they wanted
will they betray since departed
if its the way we wanted
and so then came discretion (suffering)
and all the secrets of the silent suffering (so they strayed)
and so they stray possession
murdering the suffer in
the silencing behind our walls
what did we say
bring us to earth
please rape our adolescence
please rape our adolescence
what did you say
bring me to earth
please rape my adolescence
please rape my adolescence
and so then came discretion (suffering)
and all the secrets of the silent suffering (so they strayed)
and so they stray possession
murdering the suffer in
the silencing behind our walls
so child close your eyes
and rest your head
it bleeds with slumber
so child close your eyes
and rest your head
it bleeds with slumber
so child close your eyes
and rest your head
it bleeds with slumber
so child close your eyes
and rest your head
it bleeds with slumber
so child close your eyes
to a cellophane headdress
and they were found asphyxiated
in a pool of tears that follow
to a cellophane headdress
and they were found asphyxiated
in a pool of tears that follow
breathe out
rape this
and all the secrets of the silent suffering (so they strayed)
and so they stray possession
murdering the suffer in
the silencing behind our walls
they state that this is the purpose
and they were found asphyxiated
by all the words that were painted
there's the one they wanted
will they betray since departed
if its the way we wanted
and all the secrets of the silent suffering (so they strayed)
and so they stray possession
murdering the suffer in
the silencing behind our walls
bring us to earth
please rape our adolescence
please rape our adolescence
what did you say
bring me to earth
please rape my adolescence
please rape my adolescence
and all the secrets of the silent suffering (so they strayed)
and so they stray possession
murdering the suffer in
the silencing behind our walls
and rest your head
it bleeds with slumber
so child close your eyes
and rest your head
it bleeds with slumber
so child close your eyes
and rest your head
it bleeds with slumber
so child close your eyes
and rest your head
it bleeds with slumber

This song has a more 'gory' feeling to it than most ASL songs. I'm pretty sure it's not directly speaking of the murders or suicides of this couple, but just refering to it in passing to get across a more hidden meaning. Give me some time, I'll get it. Just need to do a little more research.
By the way, amazing guitar solo.

Only ywo comments? And they're the same! Anyways, this, to me, is talking about the dark sides of life and how we're not in control of it. Best song of theirs.
Im kinda seeing this as referencing the secret lives people have. The chorus is comparing their descretion & suffering.- this could either be their suffering for having to hide, or someone elses when they find out.
OR(and i could be reaching..) talking about under-exposing/sheltering kids when they are young. The descretion, as in using it around these kids, leads to suffering when they find things out later. it comes as a surprise, and tons of these kids stray from how they were raised once they discover the world thier parents have been hiding from them. -this could be in part due to the fact that i lived in utah till i was about 14, and they have extremely strict morman families who completely close their children off from anything they see as bad. i mean television blocking, internet blocking, buying edited movies, no video games, no public school.. its bad. BUT, i knew a lot of these kids that later, high/junior high age that kinda just lost it when that bubble their parents had over them bursts.. its wierd.
So yea thats just my two cents on this song :D
