Hold your hands into the sky
Pray for my sin, instead of time
Big cities' action of my big city girl
Think she builds her own heaven
'Cause she finds it's a lonesome world
Filled with dirty street cars and dirty signs
I hope there comes a time when
I get to see your dirty mind
Hold your hands into the sky
Pray for my sin, instead of time
Low budget movies, change our low budget lives
There's something that joins our lonesome minds
And these bloody faces with their bloody knives
Say if we ever make it
We'll be somebody's
Hold your hands into the sky
Pray for my sin, instead of time
You are the massacre, the massacist, the tease
And you're captivating, standing in front of me
Is the reason, I'm still wondering why everyone we loved has broke away
Hold your hands into the sky
Pray for my sin, instead of time
You are the massacre, the massacist, the tease
And you're captivating, standing in front of me
Hold your hand into the sky
Pray for my sin, instead of time
So be my massacre, be my massacist, be my tease
'Cause you captivate me when you stand in front of me
Pray for my sin, instead of time
Big cities' action of my big city girl
Think she builds her own heaven
'Cause she finds it's a lonesome world
Filled with dirty street cars and dirty signs
I hope there comes a time when
I get to see your dirty mind
Hold your hands into the sky
Pray for my sin, instead of time
Low budget movies, change our low budget lives
There's something that joins our lonesome minds
And these bloody faces with their bloody knives
Say if we ever make it
We'll be somebody's
Hold your hands into the sky
Pray for my sin, instead of time
You are the massacre, the massacist, the tease
And you're captivating, standing in front of me
Is the reason, I'm still wondering why everyone we loved has broke away
Hold your hands into the sky
Pray for my sin, instead of time
You are the massacre, the massacist, the tease
And you're captivating, standing in front of me
Hold your hand into the sky
Pray for my sin, instead of time
So be my massacre, be my massacist, be my tease
'Cause you captivate me when you stand in front of me

Hes very tempted by her. Especially because she is a tease. Shes so captivating it makes it even more difficult to object her. He wants to see her dirty side and her dirty thoughts. He falls into temptation and sins, so he prays for forgiveness.
Hold your hands into the sky
Pray for mercy instead of time
Big city lights shine on my big city girl
I think she builds her own heaven
Cause she finds this a lonesome world
Filled with dirty sreetcars and dirty signs
I hope there comes a time when
I get to see your dirty mind
Hold your hands into the sky
Pray for mercy instead of time
Low budget movies change our low budget lives
There's something to corsets and horror
That joins our lonesome minds
And these bloody faces with their bloody knives
Say if we ever make it we'll be so bloody tired (of these times)
Hold your hands into the sky
Pray for mercy instead of time
You are the massacre, the masochist, the tease
And you're captivating standing in front of me
Is the reason I'm still wondering
Why everyone we've loved has broke away
Hold your hands into the sky
Pray for mercy instead of time
You are the massacre, the masochist, the tease
And you're captivating standing in front of me
Hold your hands into the sky
Pray for mercy instead of time
So be my massacre, my masochist, my tease
Because you captivate me when you stand in front of me
its about lust
or thats what i got out of it
he is so attracted to a grl, but no hes in the wrong because of his sin "lust"
"pray for my sin, instead of time"
which means he needs to pray for forgiveness for his sin instead of praying to be with the girl over lustful reasons
but he knows its hard because saying your so "captivating standing in front of me"
means its tempting and it consumes his mind
instead of realizing the sin
so basically she is a tease..
teases him into lust
and him saying the massacre, the massicist
describing how the girl is over powering him
and cutting his pride, so he easily falls for her, for being a tease
and beggign verses he just describes his taughts
hope there comes a time that i copuld see your dirty mind
its about lust
or thats what i got out of it
he is so attracted to a grl, but no hes in the wrong because of his sin "lust"
"pray for my sin, instead of time"
which means he needs to pray for forgiveness for his sin instead of praying to be with the girl over lustful reasons
but he knows its hard because saying your so "captivating standing in front of me"
means its tempting and it consumes his mind
instead of realizing the sin
so basically she is a tease..
teases him into lust

The singer, fresh from his "relationship" from the girl, is starting to move on. I want to imagine he's move to a new area (no real reason, I just do).
He gets a job filming low-budget horror movies ("Something to corsets and horror", "these low-budget movies change our low-budget lives", "these bloody faces with their bloody knives") and is "captivated" with the lead actress.
The chorus is him not wanting to get into a new relationship so fresh out of the old one that wrecked him so ("Pray for mercy instead of time") and the other part, "you are the massocre, the masochist, the tease" I think refers to her role in the film. Her character dies in the film (the massocre), which she enjoys (the masochist) and the tease references that the singer wants her but doesn't want a relationship with her... maybe she's flirting with him a little, teasing him, but he knows he just can't. ("I'm still wondering everyone we've loved has broke away")
But it sounds a little hopeful, like maybe he does move on and find love again.
I'd just like to mention I'm totally making this up as I go along, my imagination knows no bounds. ^^
masochist.
