this is about their relationship with interscope and the loss of control over their musical style:
What we captured got away
(we were making our real music, true to ourselves)
They've been recording all we say
(we can't say anything because interscope is listening)
You won't see them right away, but you'll hear them singing
(fans don't see that interscope has such control, they still see us as the face, but these songs aren't us, this is interscope singing)
They've come to take me away
(interscope is slowly removing us from our own music to get the profit making style sold)
Nothing pure can ever stay
(our music was pure, it was us, it was mine)
The lyrics listed don't repeat the ending chorus, but the song ends with Davey singing "and won't leave until I'm gone....... I'm gone." this is the album closer, the end, the adulteration of their music is complete and they have been removed from it.
