This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
lets say for arts sake
we killed ourselves tonight
in our dreams we could live forever
immortalized in our beauty
don't say i didn't warn you, beauty can be reversed
expose to me, the heart stings deep within
until it bleeds
for one day of beauty
you pinned your hopes, upon the mirror and now it cuts your skin
shattered by your own reflection
do you recall your own fucking face
she looked so beautiful, fashioned in her own despair
a fitting end to fashion
her source of suicide
beneath the veil of make up, your soul has slowly died
an endless wave of martyrs, dressed in a sea of black
to serenade the serpents, this scene has turned its back
feel this shatter
to the ground
your misfortunes i resound
so clean yourself up bitch
the fragments you savour
are barely held together
your basis for reason, compounded by the seasons
i suffered the arrows, your heart a formless shadow
beneath the lies, your wings have been dissected
from this fashion, the dead arise
and with its failure, we breath new life.
we killed ourselves tonight
in our dreams we could live forever
immortalized in our beauty
don't say i didn't warn you, beauty can be reversed

shattered by your own reflection
do you recall your own fucking face
she looked so beautiful, fashioned in her own despair
a fitting end to fashion

beneath the veil of make up, your soul has slowly died
an endless wave of martyrs, dressed in a sea of black

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
