Lyric discussion by EternalTearsOfSorrow 

Cover art for The Doomed lyrics by A Perfect Circle

To me this song speaks to the hopelessness that the poor/sick/ less fortunate often feel. How cast aside they become and how rich/ wealthy are often hailed as kings and treated often better then actually deserved to be. They become hailed as the new Christ while the less fortunate and/or weaker souls are forced to hide in the shadows and are even in some cases shamed.
