the_noose
cocoon So glad to see you well
Overcome and completely silent now
Without himself
You cast your demons out
And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you off your cloud
But I'm more than just a little curious
How you're planning to go about
Making your amends to the dead
To the dead

Recall the deeds as if
They're all someone else's
Atrocious stories
Now you stand reborn before us all
So glad to see you well

And not to pull your halo down
Around your neck and tug you to the ground
But I'm more than just a little curious
How you're planning to go about
Making your amends to the dead
To the dead

With your halo slipping down
Your halo slipping
Your halo slipping down
Your halo slipping down
Your halo slipping down [repeated]

Your halo slipping down to choke you now

birdmad i think it is more about taking a self righteous but otherwise guilty person off of their proverbial "high-horse"


wanting to take someone off their cloud and wondering how they will make their amends to the dead

Even though that may not have been the original intent of the song, but in these days i can't help but think of the political implications of these lyrics

unhinged maybe you shouldn't have
put me up on that cloud baby
cause i tried
but i'm only human in the end
and the halo you gave me
slowly turns into a noose
pulling me back down
the happiness you gave me
slowly turns into a noose
pulling me back down
and i came back to town
and realized that you all were dead
and i didn't know how to reach you anymore
different number
different whore
and i felt guilty
for what i can't understand anymore
and the tears tumbled out
and you looked over without a word
for the drunks in the back seat
and we went the same way
i always went with him
down mahoning past the cemetery
and the tears tumbled out
what have i done
up on my cloud
disconnected from reality
without my permanent shroud
i forgot you
how to understand
baby you really shouldn't have
put me up on that cloud
that halo you gave me
slowly turns into a noose
pulling me back down
cause my mutual disease
a constant frown
wasn't cured by the goddamn clouds
that happiness you gave me
slowly turns into a noose
pulling me back down
and when i fell back to earth
i forgot how cold it was
i forgot how cheap the drugs were
i forgot how the tears
freeze on my face in the winter
baby
i forgot you
up there on my cloud
and now i'm so goddamn guilty
that my wings broke into disrepair
all the happiness you gave me
slowly turns into a noose
pulling me back down
don't let me forget
misery understands
pain understands
misery
don't let me forget
that i will always be sickly
hanging in my own noose
