for the 2 of y'all that still use this website, I believe this is the point in the album where Simon goes to court and is framed for the death of his love interest. He pleads insane and they condemn him to the infirmary...
I'm pretty sure this song has 3 people talking in it. Simon, the judge, and some mysterious figure. The judge only sings a couple verses, like he's having a conversation with Simon. He's also the one who sends him to "the infirmary"
Im not really sure who the mysterious figure is. It could be a voice in Simon's head or maybe just an opposing figure. The mysterious figure is the one who sings the bridge. The figure reminds him no matter how hard he tries to escape, he lost his lover and everyone is blaming him for it. Im pretty sure the figure also sings "Here in my kingdom I am your lord, I order you to cower and pray"
Simon is the main character of the album, he knows he hasn't done anything wrong but since he was the only other one in the forest when he found her, they would never believe him. So he pleads insane to try and get a lesser sentence. The judge believes him and sends him away. The rest of the song is just Simon yapping about how his life sucks.
I feel like this song has the most significance to the album lore, and is the turning point from happiness to insanity. Also sorry if this was a little sloppy, I wrote this in 20 minutes during geography :))

(also the bridge is absolutely MAJESTIC)
