Cheap Idols Dressed in Expensive Garbage
Rising from Fragile FameLyrics
Brother come out of your slumber
Encouragement to wake up or become aware
Before the devil knows your number
A warning to act before negative consequences occur
Passing down our grief and illness
Passing on emotional pain and sickness through generations
Plastic flowers, plastic business
Reference to artificial and superficial aspects of life
Cheap idols dressed in expensive garbage
Critique of superficial and insincere values or idols
Cheap idols dressed in expensive garbage
-We can't afford the deal we bargained
-Cheap idols dressed in expensive garbage
-The bright blue night will surely shake us
Nature as a source of inspiration and healing
The stars will write the songs that save us
-Our pitter patter is the rain
-The trees will not recall my name
-Cheap idols dressed in expensive garbage
Reiteration of criticism towards shallow idols
Cheap idols dressed in expensive garbage
-There's a monument that bears your name
A monument symbolizing the consequences of life choices
To remind you of your fragile fame
-To remind you of the choice you made
-To spin your wheels into the grave
-Cheap idols dressed in expensive garbage
Reiteration of the unaffordability of a misguided deal
Cheap idols dressed in expensive garbage
-We can't afford the deal we bargained
-Cheap idols dressed in expensive garbage
Final repetition of the theme of superficial idols
