Shameful Metaphors

Now not saying what Throwdown said was untrue...cuz i can see where he's coming from...but im thinkin there might a different interpretation within these lyrics... maybe this new insight has a lot to do with my background...like i said im no expert..

I believe the song may be referencing the struggle of life...and particularly suicide

It all starts with "fear, its all the same" The fear of death is no more potent than the fear of anything else.

"SHould I evolve, to tend to these sights?" Should i continue to struggle in life, or maybe evolve my way of thinking and realize these sights of death are apparitions and not to be feared.

"said out loud and said again, if fate is so wrong, you'll start feeling light headed" If you stick to it, and come to find out life is crap, it'll feel like you just got hit by a two-by-four.

"By my admission, nothin grows, just a longer list of unsorted laws" If i accept life for what it is without question i remain ignorant and thus there remains a luandry list of questions and priorities

And here is where i get this theory from, mostly from the chorus "So why then has all my life made no sound and are your eyes closing even now...etc" Sound is consider to be the best form of communication as well as notification...if his life made no sound that only proves that indeed his life has yet to be worthwhile. Everything has a purpose, otherwise it wouldn't exist. And one of our purposes is to affect people, negatively or positively. But if you make no effect you're defeating one of your main purposes as a human. Like ripples in water, sound effects everyone. And then he continues...now this can go either ways. there eyes are either closing because they are at that very moment embracing death, or perhaps proving his piont that he makes no impact on people because they close there eyes...or you know what? I think i had an epiphany, maybe also they close there eyes to stop them from possibly seeing the truth. Many biblical references refer to men has sheilding there eyes from the lord, also a common terminalogy for refusing to see the picture is called blinding yourself. Which would then make sense why he discusses his admission to what is as unhealthy...bitchin anyways

"Revolting man This sacred chain Brought down to trial No better man could fail the way You needed all Keep close the vein of empty Thoughts" Now this gets a little edgy, and where most individuals could easily bash my theory, but here goes I believe he his refereing to mankind n this, discussing the sacred chain that binds us all universally, and how it is being being held tuant to the point that it crumbles thus we lose humanity which is an ultimate fail. And it is because we greed we lose all sanity for often empty thoughts refer to the thoughts of people with OCD or scizophrenia... but then again i wonder how this proves my theory at all? And why was it apart of the song? But the again i realize that this was part of the sng because earlier he said people are blinding themselves from the truth which is that the world is crumbling as is our minds and there again everything looks hopeless.

"The finest river The ravens tend All along insisting We're worlds away" This is easy, it seems to refer to the River Styx which in ancient greek mythology was the river to hades or death. The ravens (people) tell us that we are too far apart from our deceased loved ones, but he implies that indeed death is not far away al all.

"Behold the lost Behold a Band-Aid" Behold the broken and beaten people of life, behold a way to "heal" your suffering.

"These shameful metaphors Fought it through the teeth Biting at your heels Fought it cheek to cheek" Now this ties everything up i think. Shameful metaphors is the metaphors he is using in the song to refer to suicde, fighting to stay alive, but constantly nagging him, "fought it" but closes eyes just like them lying dead cheek to cheek.
