so as far as my interpretation of the lyrics go... im still pretty unsure in my assumptions. initially thought it was about claudio and newo but now that ive thought it over im not so sure thats whats being described here.

my best guess is that its about a conflict between claudio and anbelina. ive formulated this theory through a few deductions and things i know to be accepted as truth. ok so follow me here.

anbelina was once a prise but was sent to help guide and protect claudio.

but since she is a prise (or was) she is operating on the prise's agenda. which is to end all humanity because they believe humans have grown too arrogant and dont show the proper reverance to "god" and they know that claudio is capable of doing just that. "Believe her, you'll leave her You're leaving more" "(ten speed if im lost then im lost)"

also later on in the album claudio sets fire to star four (the prise's home) hence the title of both the song and album. so before that happens anbelina and claudio must have some sort of falling out in which claudio refuses her guidance because if she was still guiding him in the way the prise intended i dont think she would have allowed him to set fire to her home.

so thats the bulk of my idea. i might be completely off but hey lack of sleep and listening to the same album consistantly can make you think up some pretty strange things

Well, it's (Ten speed, if I must, then I must.) Which is The Writer deciding to kill of Ambellina

Though with the: Believe her, you'll leave her... I can see why you interpreted her as this.
