Unveiling Hidden Realities: The Dark Tapestry of 'Decoration'
Lyrics
So take the boy to the back, cover up his ears
Attempting to shield a young boy from certain information or experiences.
We've got some dirty little secrets we don't want him to hear
Having concealed and possibly unethical information that is being kept from the boy.
In this business you don't question someone's wealth
Highlighting the unspoken rule in the music industry not to question someone's financial success.
We'll chain him to the bed so he won't run away
Suggesting a controlling or restrictive environment, symbolized by chaining someone to a bed.
Then we'll take the piggy bank and cash it in on our way
Monetizing the boy's savings for personal gain.
So just chase your dreams and never let them go (down here)
Encouraging the pursuit of dreams while hinting at challenges or compromises in the mentioned location ("down here").

Decorations, decorations
Repeating the theme of decorations, suggesting a focus on outward appearances.
But you can kick it in the back, make it all go away
Offering a solution to problems by avoiding or suppressing them.
Take some pills for the pain and throw your voice away
Suggesting the use of substances to cope with pain or difficulty.
Someone else is paid to write the hits.
Indicating that someone else is responsible for creating popular music hits.
So you can talk until you're rich, until your cheek bones hurt.
Speaking about the monetary benefits of talking or expressing oneself.
And then a little baby talk to make sure you still work
Referencing superficial actions to ensure one's continued success or relevance.
It's all about the pointless perks that we all pay for to pay for ourselves.
Reflecting on the expenses incurred to maintain a certain lifestyle or image.
