I think this song refernces the music industry, and all the bullshit that comes with it.
"they can't remember when
There were once honest reasons
It's all a lie, it died 100,000 miles ago
Pretending I'm still here."
I think randy is tlakin about the band. They consitently talk about how they never intended on gettin famous and puttin on the show like they have to and make refernces to being bound by the industry thoughout the song.
"nothing now is what we meant it to be
Pretending I'm still here
It's a system now, intertwined
Take your place in line to be ground by the gears of the masterpiece."
It's just a reflection of what they've become over the years from a no name metal band from richmond who no one gave a fuck about to the biggest metal band of their time.
Justify what I've become, sanctify what I've become
Amazing disgrace... (how) sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me
Better lost if this is found, best blinded never to see
The race to save face, nothing now is what we meant it to be
Pretending I'm still here
It's a system now, intertwined
Take your place in line to be ground by the gears of the masterpiece
Betrayal.
Suffered consequence
It's been so long any piece of this made any kind of sense
You anoint the king, I'll burn everything down to ashes
You giveth, I taketh away
It's a system now, intertwined
Take your place in line to be ground by the gears of the masterpiece
Betrayal.
