| PinkPrincess6916: Spot on.. and when you read that meaning/explination, and then read the lyrics, and then look at the song title.. it all makes perfect sense. | |

| "This tragedy is like light to the flies It seems to suit you better Bleeding out the eyes" When flies look at lights, it burns their eyes, yet they continue to do so until they are blind... This is metaphorical for how people will be continually attracted to something that will hurt or disgust them. eg. the public's fascination with death and criminals, although people dont like them, the news constantly feeds the public stories about violence and death, and the public eats it up. Although its something they hate, they keep coming back for more, just like light to the flies. | |

| Flies are attracted to light even though it blinds their eyes when they get close to it. People love to watch and get as close to pain as they can for entertainment, but when it comes to their own pain they want nothing to do with any of that, "behold hypocrite" | |
