Acceptance Speech Lyrics

Cover art for Acceptance Speech lyrics by Dance Gavin Dance

I see the song as kind of a dark and disturbing story: you have a main character realizing how messed up his society is (verse 1: "twisted agenda, align my spine!", "the common ancestor, the pressure of industry"). he realizes how the system is shallow and able to manipulated (verse 2: "relationships are a tool..."), then eventually descends into insanity (verse 3 to the part with the crazed laughter?). it appears to end with suicide (last clean vocals: "I'm the one with my hands around the gun. I am not afraid. So what I'll die alone? all right.") I find those last lines particularly disturbing and heartbreaking, as they sound completely comfortable. "I am not afraid. so what? alright." so that's how I see it. a person in a corrupt society, going insane, and ending with suicide. so yeah. now I feel like I need a hug. from a puppy.

p.s. I'm not sure what to make of the rap, but I don't think it was intended to make any sense in the song anyway.
