Cover art for Chain lyrics by Head Phones President

actually i doubt the accuracy of the lyrics >.< i found two different lyrics, one in a forum post, one on a youtube video...and they both seemed "wrong" in a few places so i editted them both into one lyric =X

okay~ my interpretion...it's probably about betrayal. the idea of being lied to is repeated through the song...

"i throw myself" - well for this..i thought of a few possibilites. 1.i throw myself away and give all of me to you, i trust you completely 2.literally, i throw myself - thrown against something, or onto something, self-hurting. "i do rip, why do rip suddenly or errant lie" - the lies are ripping "me" apart...then the speaker also wonders if the lies began "suddenly" or "errant" - did "you" start to lie without warning? did "you" lie only just this once(a deviation from the normal way you treat "me"?) (i think here, the speaker is still confused by the entire situation - when you just realise you been betrayed, you are very confused at first.) "you believe too many lies" - speaker talking to self.

"o i pray sigh night hide away" - first the speaker "prays" - an indication that s/he is trying to find hope, then gives up with a sigh, finally at night(perhaps an indication of "in the end") i choose to try to hide away from the situation

"i know the reason why the sacred lie, and rely and rely do you rip for, and do rip sacred lie" deep down, "i" know why "you" are lying...but "i" still rely on you. then the speaker questions if you "rip" when you "sacred lie" - "i" wonder if "you" hurt when "you" lie to "me."

i choose, ... choose fake LIE well the speaker is aware that s/he is being lied to...but chooses self-deceit anyway...

"chain by myself i know" afterall, the speaker realises that s/he is "chaining" him/herself to the lies...because that person cannot break free from the lies...

as for the lie itself, it may be a literal bluff, or it may be something like "you gave me false hope" - the hope was a lie. i choose to believe the one about false hope, because then more likely is the person unable to break away from the lies..because this person has lost all hope, and although s/he knows s/he's being lied to, s/he wants something to hold on to...and facing the fact that s/he is betrayed means that s/he has no hope left.

well i don't really understand the lyrics very well myself, this is just imo >.< my interpretion is also greatly reliant on how i relate to this song too, so i'm probably inaccurate haha. of course i am welcome to see what others think...please don't kill me if my interpretion sounds lame

btw i love HPP, they are a very good band, anza's vocals are very piercing and the instruments very...the emotions in the emotions, i dono how to describe them lol >.< the entire compositions of their songs convey "sad" emotions(like pain, hurt, disappointment, despair, etc) very well...

i'm not very good with words, i hope i didn't put a wrong message across x_x
