(oh oh oh)
Erah!
Ignoring,
A loss of sight,
Afraid,
To blink,
I might,
Lose the sun.
But don't,
Make this out,
To be more,
Than it is,
I'm behind,
Every lie,
There's a bird song within,
Yes you're my sight!
The suffering,
That's kept within,
Dispose of the men,
Lost,
Inside,
He was negative.
This place,
Once more was underground.
So look,
And connect,
We're refusing to rust,
Healing has to begin,
In the past.
So don't fake this,
Don't fake this,
Don't fake this,
Don't!
(oh oh oh)
The suffering,
That's kept within,
Dispose of the men,
Lost,
Don't fake this,
Don't fake this,
Don't fake this,
Don't!
Fake!
Fake!
(oh oh oh)
The suffering,
That's kept within,
Dispose of the men,
Lost,
So don't fake this,
Don't fake this,
Don't fake this,
Don't!
Fake!
Fake!
Erah!
Ignoring,
A loss of sight,
Afraid,
To blink,
I might,
Lose the sun.
But don't,
Make this out,
To be more,
Than it is,
I'm behind,
Every lie,
There's a bird song within,
Yes you're my sight!
The suffering,
That's kept within,
Dispose of the men,
Lost,
Inside,
He was negative.
This place,
Once more was underground.
So look,
And connect,
We're refusing to rust,
Healing has to begin,
In the past.
So don't fake this,
Don't fake this,
Don't fake this,
Don't!
(oh oh oh)
The suffering,
That's kept within,
Dispose of the men,
Lost,
Don't fake this,
Don't fake this,
Don't fake this,
Don't!
Fake!
Fake!
(oh oh oh)
The suffering,
That's kept within,
Dispose of the men,
Lost,
So don't fake this,
Don't fake this,
Don't fake this,
Don't!
Fake!
Fake!

"healing has to begin in the past" could refer to the emotional scars they have
"refusing to rust" and "healing has to begin in the past" are references to the fact that time doesn't seem to change anything. The hurts stings just as bad now as it did then.
The thing I really don't understand is the begining.
"Afraid to blink, I might lose the sun" and "Yes, you're my son."
A reference to God? He's losing his faith (in God/ humanity?) because people are phony.
Ignoring
A loss of sight
Afraid to blink
I might lose the sun
Hinting that they're losing reason ("sight") but their father ignores this. Yet still they try to take every opportunity they can to find their reason (the "sun"). The images of sight and the sun are metaphor relating to their light in life.
But don't
Make this out
To be more
Than it isn't
Behind
Every lie
There's a
Burden within
At this point the perspective is now in the eyes of their father. Thus showing that the father thinks they're being too ambitious and naive ("more than it isn't"). Then he explains that their life as musicians is a lie with too much of a burden for them to handle.
Yes, you're my son!
This line pretty much solidifies my interpretation. At this point the brothers have already disowned their father, but their father is still trying to force his existence onto them.
This suffering
That's kept within
Disposable men
Lost
Now we go back to the perspective of the brothers. This is pretty self-explanatory in that it shows that they keep try to keep their suffering to themselves and that their father disposes them as if they are not useful and “lost”
Inside
He was negative
This place
Once more was underground
This is one of the brothers (or all of them) looking inside themselves about their feelings towards it. Everything is “negative” but kept away hidden, or “underground”
So look
And connect
We’re refusing
To rust
Healing
Has
To begin
In the past
With the refusing to rust line, it shows that they are beginning to stand up to their father and his unsupportiveness. The healing line has to do with it being way too late for them to warm up to their father now.
So don't fake this
Don't fake this
Don't fake this
Don't
This is pretty much the brothers saying they really are living and won’t accept their father’s disapproval or “faking” of their life.
Well this is still merely my interpretation, but I find it to be the most correct in that it actually links every single lyric together into a finished puzzle. Most of these interpretations only seem to last for one or two lines until there’s nothing else that really supports it.
Whatever this song means, it's a masterpeice.
your all silly
When he says "The suffering, that's kept within, disposable men, lost" he's referring to people who bottle up their emotions (particularly anger), and just decide to ignore their feelings all together... to avoid the hurt and suffering attached. But in doing so, they lose themselves and become "disposable", not knowing who they really are. It's like they can change and control who they are for a certain moment - "don't fake this."
