Act Five Lyrics

Cover art for Act Five lyrics by Why?

This song is certainly about death, but I do think the Hamlet thing is very interesting. I never thought of that.

"There is no grace in act five Only the nerves, insect-like twitches Involuntary bowel movements, and confusion"

Meaning that death is not a graceful thing. It's scary to watch and to do. Act five I guess refers to the end of something, the end of ones life, death.

The chorus I think is Yoni trying to remember or even bring back his dead loved ones through pictures. I know when I look at pictures of my dead relatives it's to remember them as they were before they died. "I've been trying to steal my grandfather's handsome from old photographs" He wants to remember them as good looking people, not as the confused and twitching people he describes them as in the first few lines.
