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.
I took your tongue
Your mouth on mine
And threw it down the wishing well
But scarlet flames
Of vehemence
Last until the anger melts
I’m sorry if I
Led you to believe
That I could kneel
Into your hour of grief
There is no crime here
But murmur of a heart
There is no crime here
You ran your fingers
Down my neck
In silence that could
Wake the dead
You turned a blind eye
To the gold
But I could not make you forget
It wasn’t something
You did or didn’t do
I fell hard
Before I came to
There is no crime here
But the murder of a heart
There is no crime here
But the murder of a heart
Murder of a heart
I’m sorry if I
Led you to believe
That I could kneel
Into your hour grief
There is no crime here
But the murder of a heart
There is no crime here
But the murder of a heart
Murder of a heart
Murder of a heart
Murder of a heart
Look at all the pretty shrapnel on the grass
Cause I gave my heart up
Just to take it back
Look at all the pretty shrapnel on the grass
Cause I gave my heart up
Just to take it back
Just to take it back
Just to take it back
Just to take it back
Just to take it back
Your mouth on mine
And threw it down the wishing well
But scarlet flames
Of vehemence
Last until the anger melts
I’m sorry if I
Led you to believe
That I could kneel
Into your hour of grief
There is no crime here
But murmur of a heart
There is no crime here
You ran your fingers
Down my neck
In silence that could
Wake the dead
You turned a blind eye
To the gold
But I could not make you forget
It wasn’t something
You did or didn’t do
I fell hard
Before I came to
There is no crime here
But the murder of a heart
There is no crime here
But the murder of a heart
Murder of a heart
I’m sorry if I
Led you to believe
That I could kneel
Into your hour grief
There is no crime here
But the murder of a heart
There is no crime here
But the murder of a heart
Murder of a heart
Murder of a heart
Murder of a heart
Look at all the pretty shrapnel on the grass
Cause I gave my heart up
Just to take it back
Look at all the pretty shrapnel on the grass
Cause I gave my heart up
Just to take it back
Just to take it back
Just to take it back
Just to take it back
Just to take it back
