I am the speaker but what is responsibility?
This is beg of you, build me brick upon brick.
High tides; waves of hypocrisy.
This is beg of you, build me brick upon brick.
I didn't think the clock struck more than twelve times.
I decided to name her insomnia.
"Her teeth like white seeds in a scarlet fruit"
This I must tell you, old friend
"Her teeth like white seeds in a scarlet fruit"
This I must tell you, old friend
This I must tell you, old friend
Old friend
Old friend
Fear beauty.
Fear beauty.
This is meager, this is feeble.
She was only fiction in my creation

I think this song has to do with how the entrapment of sin that plagues our minds.. Being tempted it looks so beautiful ... But when we chase after sin we are trying to create an exprience that god can give
I saw it as him making himself stronger and reminding himself to see clearly ("i don't thin the clock struck more than 12 times,")
The rest i see as being about a girl, being drawn in by lust and beauty, thinking someone is really amazing when really everything you see in her is something you have fabricated. . We fool ourselves more than we fool others
"i decided to name her insomnia," - i love this line.
I'm sure this song is about mike... He asks god to make him stronger in order to be a good example.. Cuz thats what he is, a speaker, a messanger of god.. Therefor he must be really careful and he is talking about pride as it may lead to a nasty fall..
I think that this is about how even if you are beautiful, you shouldn't believe that will get you ahead in life so much that you don't need intelligence. And that by not needing intelligence, you are wasting your life and not using it to its fullest potential which is not what god wanted. This goes along with their anti-material status along with their christianity. The oscar wilde quote is probably a reference to eve, a prime example of the song matter.
"her teeth like white seeds in a scarlet fruit" is probably about eve, and "seeds" almost like planting the seed of knowledge maybeee? After all, after eve ate the fruit they were given the knowledge of wrong and right. "fear beauty" could be about how much eve wanted the fruit because she found it to be beautiful but in the end it was horrible for adam and eve, fear beauty, she should have feared what the fruit could bring her and adam. Just like we should fear things that we find beautiful in todays world.
"dance_timmy_dance" is right. I dont think this song has to do anything with relationships. Tdwp is a christiann band and they're lyrics have a "christian meaning". "this is beg of you, build me brick upon brick. High tides; waves of hypocrisy"
keep me away from all the hyprocrisy
"i didn't think the clock struck more than twelve times"
you have a limited life time, you can't live forever. "this i must tell you, old friend: fear beauty"
beauty can sometimes be a hyprocrit.
The section of the song "her teeth (show) like white seeds in a scarlet fruit" is a quote from the story "the picture of dorian gray" which is a story that defines beauty as temporary. The main character wishes for a painting of himself to age instead of his own body. He watches the painting age, and deteriorate with each sin and action. Thats the quote anyway. I also agree with xthexnewxblackx because the expectations that come with relationships definitely fits the song perfectly.
I think that the meaning to this is that he dreamt this. "i decided to name her insomnia. " insomnia is where you don't get a normal amount of sleep. Also dreams have different and weird things in them, "i didn't think the clock struck more then twelve times. " it also describes what she looked like. "her teeth like white seeds in a scarlet fruit. ", and "this i must tell you, old friend: fear beauty. " so to me its a dream about a girl with very white teeth and who wasn't the prettiest thing ethier.
