Cover art for What Makes a Man? lyrics by City and Colour

no its about how some people commit suicide and throw themselves over trains common sense? and how it says "now i'm running for my life" and "walk away from his mind" and when he says i think i might know means he can relate. "what makes a man live his whole life in disguise" obviously means that they're being a fake person cuz thats what people accept and he's afraid of how people might exile and exclude him or her. and he also explains what he's seeing and while he's thinking about this and how depressing it really is. break a heart with ease, he's talking about how it's so surprising how malevolent and heartless people can truly be. what makes a man pray when he's about to die, he's talking about how they always say "i don't believe in god, etc" but the truth is they always have hope when it comes down to it cuz they've got nothing left and they know that.
