Lyric discussion by AnthonyGreenLove 

before reading a lot of the comments, i thought this song was about a pedophile who stops loving the kids after they get older. definitely fucked up but what sparked it was the chorus

And you're not going anywhere without me These trials don't prepare the error of You're not telling anyone about me And you shake and you plead while I sing my song

anyway, i think there are a lot of other connections but i like the interpretation of the pretty faces being the crowds at the shows and him not trusting himself better.

Brave post, but you don't have to say "definitely fucked up..." 'cause at that point people begin to suspect you of being a "pedophile".

Also, I believe he sings "These trials don't prepare the air (or err, not sure which) of love" + I believe he's saying shake and "bleed" (hard to hear :S)

An error occured.
