Who's so phony and always surrounded?
Stop your screaming, no one can hear
All the scars on your skin post no bills
Who you were
Was so beautiful
Remember who, who you where
Hide from the mirror, the cracks and the memories
Hide from your family, they won't know you now
For all the holes in our soul host no thrills
Who you were
Was so beautiful
Memories who, who you where
Stop your screaming, no one can hear
All the scars on your skin post no bills
Who you were
Was so beautiful
Remember who, who you where
Hide from the mirror, the cracks and the memories
Hide from your family, they won't know you now
For all the holes in our soul host no thrills
Who you were
Was so beautiful
Memories who, who you where

Self-mutilation is the first meaning, as many people have stated below...
But after listening to it a few more times, emotionally, *sniffles*...
I really think it could be about a drug addict as well.
The part where they mention hiding from your family, and the fact that they shan't know you now really points towrds this, as most people would want to hide the shame of being a drug addict. Plus, it DEFINITELY changes you, your personality, and your mentality. And I can understand not wanting to look in the mirror, because you might not look too.. pretty... when you're all hopped up on the stuff. The "scars" could be from burns from smoking, maybe? Or needles.
And in the chorus, someone this person knows and used to cherish sees that whoever the subject is has become something truly awful, horrible and ugly, just wants to see the real "whoever" again, and is pleading for him/her to remember how amazing he/she is on their own...
Such a dark yet poetic meaning. I love it!!!
I started over it a few weeks ago and I think I really understand now. It's like you change and you try to hide from everyone cause you're ashamed of what you do.
"Hide from your family, they won't know you now"
that sentence really hurts cause you become someone you're completely not, yet want to stay there...
it's a hard thing tho I'm glad theres a song to relate to.
"all the scars on your skin, post no bills"
Saying about plastic surgery and such like.
Although its more likely about self-harm.
Very emotional songs anyways and the old muse is so much better than the "twilight" muse that everyone seems to be in love with now.
Interested to see what any new material that they do will be like.
Essentially, i picture this girl at a very fancy sorta party, the subject if you will. Essentially, this is like a kinda masked ball? Easiest way to name it. At some point just before the singing starts, the people in the back-ground, everything stops, and fades to grey. She's approached by a masked guy, who pulls down her elbow length gloves to reveal scars on her arms, essentially as the singing starts.
The rest of the scene involves the party, and even an image of her continuing, while the girl with the scars walks off. This, to me, captures the whole fake persona idea. It seems to me like she's living two lives- one sad, one that's a "screen".
Screenagers are teenagers who are obsessed with the internet. and technology. but in my eyes, it looks to me like it is about a teenager who has some kind of depression, puts up a screen (not a computer in a sense), and hides him or herself from the world, especially the family. they self harm, and do whatever they can to make themselves feel wanted and known somehow.
it's a sad song, and to be honest? i feel it, it makes me cry. in the chorus when he says "who you were, was so beautiful, remember who... who you were", it is almost as if he is asking for the kid to say what's wrong, you don't have to do this.
And if we stopped harming ourselves physically and mentally, we could be beautiful. Because we all have that potential inside.
