A bit confusing, I'm fairly certain this song is about forbidden love, using a story of a religious woman falling in love with a being of darkness to portray it. The prince mentioned in the song is clearly referring to the prince of darkness himself, Satan. When their sinful relationship is ultimately, inevitably discovered, she is betrayed by those around her and Heaven itself.

When she's called a "better believer," it suggests that she's found solace or strength in her current situation, accepting her fate willingly by finding a new sense of faith in this unconventional love. Like other times in life, she becomes a better person, not attacking but fleeing in love; In a sense, becoming a better religious believer than others with her strong love found in The Prince. In essence, it can either be seen as a battle between faith and darkness, and/or a message about the power of love.
After 60 years I just thought about the meaning of this song. Nice message - a father saying to his son to be strong after a bad relationship and son following his advice

The song is dedicated to vocalist Michael Poulsen’s deceased father, Jorn Poulsen.

As stated by Michael himself, "I wrote Fallen in less than a half an hour or something. It just came very natural to me. The lyrics were done in 15 minutes. It was like the song just came to me and that’s when music really becomes beautiful." The title 'Fallen' is pretty evidently about the loss of a loved one, reflecting the emotional journey of dealing with grief and the impact of that loss; Falling into despair, sadness, and loss.

This song picks up after the last album, with the protagonist Mr. Cadillac Blood down in his sorrows, feeling the devil looming over him, not realizing that the darkness is his own. He decides to drive back to The 10 House City from The Bar following his last performance, where he then discovers a gun in his car. It's then that he realizes that he has a dark side, represented as The Ripper, the destructive tendencies that lie within him. After looking in his rearview mirror, he realizes this potentially dark side was possibly fueling his destructive actions, possibly born from a life lived in a city plagued by darkness, lies buried deep in his memories.
I really heard this song the first time I visited my father’s grave alone. I am the youngest of a very large family and he had been a drunk for 15-20 years before I was born. I was kicked out at 17 simply because my folks decided they didn’t want anyone living with them. (I was a really good kid, always worked after age 13 and got good grades, etc. so I never knew what they told people about why I didn’t live with them). My parents I never had a good relationship, but it was especially strained with my...
I really heard this song the first time I visited my father’s grave alone. I am the youngest of a very large family and he had been a drunk for 15-20 years before I was born. I was kicked out at 17 simply because my folks decided they didn’t want anyone living with them. (I was a really good kid, always worked after age 13 and got good grades, etc. so I never knew what they told people about why I didn’t live with them). My parents I never had a good relationship, but it was especially strained with my father. We had very few positive interactions, but him being my dad, I still had feelings of loss. And I was grateful for the few good times we had. If we hadn’t survived the worst days, we also would have missed the few good ones. I sat in my car and really cried listening to this song.
I was discussing this song with coworkers and one said it changed how she thought of her father. She said dancing with him at her wedding was so special, despite the strained relationship they had.
He’ll, I had a brother walk me down the aisle at my wedding because I told the old man if he was drinking that day, he wouldn’t walk with me. Of course, he was drunk. But we had a tiny private wedding and only the best man wasn’t related to either my husband or I. I didn’t even know he tried to make a scene until weeks later.
This track is about personal transformation, letting go of the past, and finding hope and redemption in new beginnings. It talks about self-discovery and tells us to realize that certain things in life are not meant to be held onto; Relationships, Family, and Wealth are all temporary things. They tell us to reject negative influences and destructive patterns and embrace a brighter future; Open the door and walk through to a new day. The devil mentioned in the song is also more of a metaphor for the depression and despair that fills us when we lose something important to us.

Featuring Jakob Øelund of Taggy Tones, this song talks about a guy who uses every dollar he has on booze and hookers, which is more a metaphor of individuals who seak solace in eascapisim, music, and the simpliar things in life. The clear message it is trying to tell us is that sometimes the simple things in life can give more pleasure than those that can be found with hard work; Enough fun can be had with as little as 16 dollars.

"Magic Zone is written and dedicated to my wife," said Michael Poulsen. "That song is just a little about me giving her some credit and trying to open up and tell how important my wife is to me."

As explained by Michael Poulsen, "Who They Are is a little more complicated but it’s one of our metal songs that has very dark lyrics which are hard to explain. This is a song about spirits who, in the speed of light, are visiting the earth to give people a hint of what they should take care of before they ruin everything in front of them."
