Furtive Monologue Lyrics

This is perhaps my favorite song from the album, due to the lyrics. To reply to blacklabel1 it's not just revenge. As the lyrics say: "No retribution Your sorrow's my devotion"

If someone saw the video of this song you'll catch me that this is about fighting back at society. "This unspoiled opus wasn't meant to persist eternally" "This unspoiled opus" stands for society, and it wasn't meant to persist eternally. In the video you see a city being destroyed.

The protagonist in the story feels like something is out of place, it is being told by "inaudible voice", it is the furtive monologue he needs to destroy society. The protagonist feels like being part of the world that hates humanity destroying the world. The protagonist may also be humanity itself, having to destroy its self-build society eventually. I'm pretty sure they mean society with "this masquerade". It could also be an unspoken subject between people, and people keeping up appearances for it and someone decides he won't be pretentious anymore.
