So now we see
Comes burying my burnt remains
These puddled clouds
Oh I, I understand now
But darkness falls likes shattered pieces
Dangling, shimmering
Torn and tattered and crowned
Oh I'll not be told "No" to "No more!"
You must believe to hear me sing these
Messy morsels of my self-assuring love
Oh it's painful kneading
Yes, I lie and I wrangle with prospective angles
That glare me down and face me with all I do wrong
Why do they all look like me?
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive
And it's alright
Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light
Of my treacherous life
If I had hands I'd hold up high
My lofty dreams and my alibi's real name
But I have no strength
So I toss and I turn and I spit in the urn
There's a ghost in your eye
There is someone that knows more than I
But I'm quick to deny
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive
And it's alright
Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light
Of my treacherous life
Make Light!
Comes burying my burnt remains
These puddled clouds
Oh I, I understand now
But darkness falls likes shattered pieces
Dangling, shimmering
Torn and tattered and crowned
Oh I'll not be told "No" to "No more!"
You must believe to hear me sing these
Messy morsels of my self-assuring love
Oh it's painful kneading
Yes, I lie and I wrangle with prospective angles
That glare me down and face me with all I do wrong
Why do they all look like me?
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive
And it's alright
Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light
Of my treacherous life
If I had hands I'd hold up high
My lofty dreams and my alibi's real name
But I have no strength
So I toss and I turn and I spit in the urn
There's a ghost in your eye
There is someone that knows more than I
But I'm quick to deny
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive
And it's alright
Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light
Of my treacherous life
Make Light!

*sorry if i've made some mistakes with my english, greetings from Perú
Comes burying my burnt remains
These puddled clouds
Oh I, I understand now
[his past that hes tried to forget or erase has returned and hes realized or discovered something he didnt know before]
But darkness falls likes shattered pieces
Dangling, shimmering
Torn and tattered and crowned
Oh I'll not be told "No" to "No More!"
[the darkeness is whatever is making him feel bad, and its in shattered pieces which take longer and are harder to pick up and thorw away, the shimmering showing its hard to ignore or that it holds light]
You must believe to hear me sing these
Messy morsels of my self-assuring love
Oh it's painful kneading
Yes, I lie and I wrangle with prospective angles
That glare me down and face me with all I do wrong
Why do they all look like me?
[i cant really explain this part cuz im not exaclty sure lol some help?]
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive
And it's alright
Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light
Of my treacherous life
[self expainatory. but, just a thought, maybe he tries to overcome something but he fails and it makes him scream in frustration, and beg someone or something that he overcomes it, and he sighs in either sadness or acceptance, then he's comforted by the confident assurance that he'll be feeling better soon and that his life will turn for the better]
If I had hands I'd hold up high
My lofty dreams and my alibi's real name
But I have no strength
So I toss and I turn and I spit in the urn
There's a ghost in your eye
There is someone that knows more than I
But I'm quick to deny
[no hands means he cant make or hold anything and if he did he would accomplish his proud dreams and be with the person he likes, in this case the alibi or excuse of why he cant suceed. he tosses and turns cant relax and stay still, im unsure of the urn part, ghost in the eye means the way someone looks at things has changed or died, he knows he doesnt know everything but likes to beleive he does]
this is my interpretation of the song and its like what ive been going thru and how ive been feeling latley. one of my favorite songs by them, it always brings my spirit up when everything seems to be falling down. my own way of making light.
the part you can't quite get in my eyes seems to be that he can't tell anyone because people would devour the infomation and use it against him.
the prospective angles are him looking at his life and seeing his many faces, masks and lies. but he finds it hard to believe thats him in his past... i think... open for constructive critisism
"Yes, I lie and I wrangle with prospective angles
That glare me down and face me with all I do wrong
Why do they all look like me?"
"tonight there's a way I'll make light
Of my treacherous life"
There is someone that knows more than I
But I'm quick to deny
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive
And it's alright
Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light
Of my treacherous life
Make light! "
i think that he means that theres someone whos more mature and knows more, but he still wants to prove his self worth so he draws attention to himself. but now hes making light of it and illuminating his situation, if that makes sense.
