Letter from a Thief

Pete said in an interview the song is about a guy who stole equipment from them. their lyrics always go deeper

the song is about a thief, who was forced into a life he didnt want by cirumstances he cant control

i lead when everybody sleeps- obvious, a thief does their work at night so few ways to cover up the old ruins- the man has emotional damage from the past that he can only hide for so long

lost in a finger forced to lie, this sends us medicating- he's forced to live a dishonest life, does drugs to cope

if you ever enter my mind, stay there - (spoken as the thief) see it from my side, either defend being a thief, or fool them into thinking youre honest, either way youd do the same thing if you were in my position

solitude, waste of a man- no friends, no family, dishonest living, he's nothing, he has nothing

this fades as soon as the sun sets- once night comes around, its time for him to go to work stealing, so at night he;s the king, whatever he wants he can take

i now own this fatal role that lives- im not sure on this one, maybe he shouldnt be alive because of whatever circumstances forced him into this life

imagine here's a better feel- he doesnt like what he does, or who he is

told to dissolve- stop stealing or choose to fade- or fade out of the world (go to prison)

or stay here- or get better at what he does

just my take on the song
