Lyrics
Dear Detective
Addressing a detective
I’m sorry for your loss,
Expressing condolences for the detective's loss
How was I to know
Ignorance regarding the consequences of a clown's actions
The clown would take it all
Surprise at the clown causing significant damage
My admission
Admission of purchasing the clown as a pawn
I bought him as a pawn
Seeing the clown as a manipulated tool
A coin with just one side
Metaphor for someone easily controlled or influenced
But integral for the fall
Crucial for a downfall or negative outcome
Your fallen soldier
Reference to someone lost in a situation
You should’ve seen his eyes
Sadness over not recognizing the lost person's distress
The demon’s blood attached
Association with evil or malevolent influence
I know he picked a side
Acknowledgment of someone choosing a side
The hatter and puppeteer, they are they rats
Comparing specific individuals to rats
With them in the floor, we’ll never be free to dance
Being restricted or unable to enjoy freedom due to these individuals
So breathe in your own destiny, and stand by my side
Encouragement to embrace one's fate and support
What this world needs, is a swift forceful goodbye
Suggesting the necessity for a strong, quick departure from the world
I’m tired of hearing all the bureaucrats
Frustration with political figures or bureaucrats
Forget their latency it’s time to act
Time to stop waiting and take action
You are the only one who stands a chance
Belief in the detective's potential to change things
Now let me show you true honest romance
Promising to show genuine and sincere love or affection
Open your eyes, this ends tonight
Determination to end a situation tonight
My ancient scribe, the pit runs dry
Implying the end of something deeply rooted or significant
Your parents would say, it’s better this way
Implying approval from authoritative figures (parents) for a decision
The world at your fist, we’ll take more than this
Asserting control over the world's offerings
The farmhand and that flightless bird, they are the rats
Labeling specific individuals as rats, similar to earlier comparison
With them in the floor, we’ll never be free to dance
Reiteration of the hindrance caused by these individuals
So breathe in your own destiny, and stand by my side
Encouragement to embrace fate and support again
What this world needs, is a swift forceful goodbye
Reinforcing the need for a quick departure from the world
