Lyrics

Cease to know or to tell or to see

Cease to understand, communicate, or perceive

Or to be your own

Stop being independent or true to yourself

Cease to know or to tell or to see

Stop knowing, telling, or seeing; lose self-awareness

Or to be your own

Reiteration of the need to stop knowing, telling, or seeing; lose self-identity


Have someone else's will as your own

Adopt someone else's desires or intentions as your own

Have someone else's will as your own

Repetition of adopting someone else's will as your own

You are beautiful and you are alone

Acknowledgment of beauty and isolation

You are beautiful and you are alone

Reiteration of being beautiful and alone


Often the adolescent play

Reference to youthful games and actions

Reward your grace

Find satisfaction in the beauty of your actions

Often the adolescent play

Repetition of adolescent play and its rewards

Reward your grace

Emphasizing the rewarding nature of youthful actions


Confuse your hunger

Confuse your desires or appetites

Capture the fake

Embrace or accept the artificial or insincere

Confuse your hunger

Repetition of confusing one's hunger or desires

Capture the fake

Repeated emphasis on accepting the fake or insincere


Banish the faceless

Reject those without identity or individuality

Reward your grace

Find satisfaction in the beauty of your actions (repetition)

Banish the faceless

Rejection of the faceless or anonymous

Reward your grace

Emphasizing the rewarding nature of rejecting the faceless
