even though it seems like too long ago now, i honestly cant shake the feeling that this is a shot at adam lazzera and taking back sunday, especially the stanza
And over and over and over again,
The same failed solutions to all the same problems.Scream, why! why!
I can't understand
Why the things that I do never go as I planned.
And the vultures begin
Their slow circling.
The dogs lick their teeth,
Bright, white, and gleaming.
it seems like its talking how taking back sunday couldnt get along or agree on anything and how he could tell the band was dying because the vultures began. that also seems like its taking a shot at taking back sunday now, saying that theyre dead.
and then the stanza before it
Desire gave way to a false sense of hope,
And we fell for the lie that it's what we all chose.
And I yelled to my friends, "you'll all be okay!"
But they didn't believe me, they still don't today.
They never do anything they haven't before.
In the same solemn room with no lock on the door.
this sounds like John didn't know why he ever started the band taking back sunday. and the "we fell for the lie that it's what we all chose" definately talks about taking back sunday because when ever adam lazzera what his songs mean he always says its what you choose it to be about.
overall this seems like a continuation of their song "a slow descent" and it seems like John's just sad and frustrated how taking back sunday fell apart.
it seemsespecially like that when John says "And I yelled to my friends, "you'll all be okay!" But they didn't believe me, they still don't today." That just seems like he's saying that he tried to fix things within the band taking back sunday but they didnt listen to him. then the next part of that line makes it seems like John is saying that he still doesn't get along with the members of Taking Back Sunday today because of what happened.
Then as the song ends John says "but just hold your tongue" which is probably telling Adam Lazzara to shut up
Then John says take your best shot, probably telling Adam to give him everything he's got, just to mock him. Then John says we're getting out, as in he's leaving the band and they're never going to "find us again" saying that he'll never play in a band with them again
