Cover art for Kill The Lights lyrics by Birthday Massacre, The

This is my intrepertation is in the []:

This story's missing a wishing well [ the world is missing something ] No mirror to show and tell [ there's no alternate earth to show us the true perspective of things. ] No kiss that can break the spell [ Nothing can make us realize that not everything's good ] I'm falling asleep [ I'm ignoring reality and slipping into my own perfect world ]

Every Prince is a fantasy [ every male we "love" is a fantasy to us ] The witch is inside of me [ I'm cold hearted ] The poison will wash away the memory

We kill the lights And put on a show [ We act like nothings wrong and we shut people out. ] It's all a lie But you'd never know [ everyone hides they're true emotions very well ] The star will shine And then it will fall And you will forget it all [ nothing good will last, but you'll shut that thought out ]

And after midnight We're all the same [ We're all the same (pretty slef explanitory) ] No glass shoe to bring us fame Nobody to take the blame We're falling apart [ your act will falter and someone will see the true you. ]

Every story's a waiting game [ we're all waiting for something ] A flower for every name Their colors are paling in the falling rain [ the flower represents life and the rain represents death, so if the flowers color is paling that means death is getting closer ]

We kill the lights And put on a show [ We act like nothings wrong and we shut people out. ] It's all a lie But you'd never know [ everyone hides they're true emotions very well ] The star will shine And then it will fall And you will forget it all [ nothing good will last, but you'll shun that thought ]

Now you know it's so much better to pretend There's something waiting for you here [ it's better to act like death is waiting to claim us ] Every letter that you wrote Has found its way to me my dear [ I know how you fell and what you're thinking ] You can make believe that what you say Is what I want to hear [ anything you say isn't what i want to hear because it's all a lie ]

I'll keep dancing through this beautiful, delusional career. [ I'll keep acting like everyone else ] Faking every tear Looking like a comprimise suicide Keeping all my dreams alive [ Faking death and sadness, but truely know what you want. ]

Anyways, that the way i iview it. your idea is probably different. Just thought everyone would like to know my view on this song. I've loved this song & The Birthday Masscre ever since I heard them on VampireFreaks. n_n

A+ and four C's, because you just got four cookies. ;3

ToyHearts,

Great explanation of the external meaning of this song, yes very good, but I think there is a reason the song was sang in all metaphor. If you think deeper and expand your mind further, I think you'll find that the message behind all these metaphors is actually a very sad and lonely one. Everybody I know thinks I'm crazy for interpretating this song this way, but I believe this song is about a gay man singing in a female voice, because within he sees himself as a woman. I don't want to go into details of every meaning...
