Prequel Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
[Verse 1]
Dear diary, dear diary, I've been searching for a higher me
I'm in the sky, in the pilot's seat, tryna stop my mind from spiraling
And that's irony, that's irony
I'm just looking for a resolution, I just want to be a better human
But it's hard when everybody's acting stupid
Pardon me if that came off rude, I just have a bad attitude
With the world and not just with you, it's the side effects of abuse
I admit I'm a little strange, I don't think that I'll ever change
I survived a whole life of pain, you could say I escaped my fate
I'm a cynical, egotistical, unpredictable, hardened criminal
And I can be a little hypocritical, but I'll admit it straight to your face
I'm unbreakable, irreplaceable, undeniably inspirational
I used everything I had available to make me the person I am today
[Verse 2]
Dear diary, dear diary, I just had another wild dream
I was in a world that admired me
And when I woke up I was smiling
And that's irony, that's irony
You talk a lot, but you don't even know me
I'm just hoping that my testimony will inspire y'all to stop acting phony
Pardon me if that came off weird, I don't mean to be mean, I swear
I have been through a lot this year
I just want to make a few things clear
I don't like it when people hate behind my back and not to my face
Nowadays it just feels so fake
So I'll cut the grass to expose the snakes
I'm unstoppable, it's impossible
You don't wanna see the diabolical side of me that never stops, is volatile
So I suggest you stay in your lane
I'm unapologetic, you know where it's headed
I will never ever let up off the pedal
I got the spirit of every warrior in me ever
So back the fuck up, get out my face
[Verse 3]
You're a slave to labor and you praise the fascist
You kiss the hand that takes half in taxes
Faking outrage and being seen, a generation with no self-esteem
It's time to rise up and stand against them
Break the chains and finally see the vision
We're post-traumatic from a broken system
Follow me into the chaos engine, ah
It's time to stand, it's time to fight
Don't be afraid to twist the knife
Your sacrifice to break the curse
Prepare to die, prepare to burn
Abandon hope, it's not enough
'Cause all our gods abandoned us
Your sacrifice to break the curse
Light the match, watch it burn
[Bridge]
Oh, heaven falls, the angels die
Let it burn from the start
When everything falls apart
[Outro]
When everything falls apart
Why have you forsaken me?
When everything falls apart
Heavy is the crown, you see
When everything falls apart
Why have you forsaken me?
When everything falls apart
Heavy is the crown, you see
When everything falls apart
When everything falls apart
[Verse 1]
In this section, Ronnie Radke discusses his internal struggles and the search for a higher self. The verse conveys a sense of irony and frustration with personal shortcomings and societal expectations. Radke acknowledges his flaws and the impact of past trauma on his present behavior. The verse also reflects a complex self-image, balancing between self-criticism and self-empowerment, illustrating a struggle to reconcile past pain with the drive for personal betterment.
[Verse 2]
The second verse continues the theme of disillusionment and self-assertion. Radke contrasts the admiration he receives in dreams with the reality of feeling misunderstood and judged. He expresses frustration with insincerity and emphasizes a desire to expose falsehoods and confront critics directly. This section reveals a determination to maintain authenticity and strength in the face of adversity, highlighting a readiness to challenge and dismantle pretense.
[Verse 3]
This verse shifts focus to a broader societal critique, condemning systemic issues and urging resistance against oppressive systems. Radke calls for action and rebellion against what he views as a corrupt and unjust structure. The language is confrontational, reflecting a call to arms for those who feel oppressed and betrayed. This section underscores a revolutionary spirit and the need for radical change, contrasting sharply with the more personal reflections of previous verses.
[Bridge]
In the bridge, the imagery of heaven falling and angels dying symbolizes a catastrophic breakdown of established norms and ideals. This section portrays a sense of apocalyptic upheaval, suggesting that the destruction of current systems is necessary for new beginnings. It emphasizes the intensity of the collapse and the emotional weight of such dramatic shifts.
[Outro]
The outro reinforces the themes of chaos and abandonment, echoing the feelings of despair and the burdensome weight of leadership and responsibility. Radke's repeated questioning of forsakenness highlights a deep sense of betrayal and isolation. The emphasis on "when everything falls apart" underscores the persistent and pervasive nature of these challenges, culminating in a powerful and reflective conclusion to the song.
