Lyrics:
How I wish that it never’d crossed my mind
Flash a grin as I stumble down the line
All the love and the joy that you claim to find
Deflect from my life and cast ‘em all aside now
I can’t burn away all the proof that I was alive, yet lost in time
Feel the smoke in my lungs in the burning light
Too late but I pray I could run and hide
A bunch of actors, we all think we’re sly
Running down to the end in the dead of night now
All alone now no one’s looking, act out in greed deceiving all their eyes
But there’s no real me that
You’ll find if you believe and
I can’t find a single role that showed what’s really there to see
So start the music, come now, and tear your heart out
Not done but burning down now
Mayday, shouting out loud
In a tone that’ll drown the love we found
Dramatic lines and stories are all your twisted, spinning mind loves
And you there yes yes, a gulp of air down
Trade off you’ve done your share now
Headshot through all the burden
Through the heart that beats slowly filled with sin
Reach out and take the wire, fading
The curtain man he watches as you sing
I wonder what those eyes are seeing
Like glass we all break at the slightest touch
Had enough of the lies so shut him up
Back in the day we were all so pure and kind
Now we play the roles we’re given, monsters ‘till we die now
If we can’t all accept everything how will we all live our lives?
“In truth we all know you would never grow”
“Why is he wasting all his time with nothing to show?”
I’m standing all alone with not a soul in sight
There’s so much damn trash that I’ve all left behind now
Everyone is so desperately waiting
For some hand to reach to them and save
It really has no meaning
So stupidly deceiving
I can’t find a single role that showed what’s really there to see
But here I am so, stand up, and grab your guns now
Banner swaying up no matter what now
Backed in we’re looking bad now
Not a word is said but still we figure out
Dramatic lines and stories are full of twists and turns that you love
And you there yes yes, a gulp of air down
Renew all the vows we share now
One chance is all I have and
I’ll keep on betting ‘till the end
But the climax is coming
My hands so tightly are closing as I sing
Alone I am crying
The truth long was buried and vanished out of sight
The shamed and the hurting have nowhere to hide
I try to recall but my feelings are fried
Tell me what is the reason tears fall from my eyes?
Cause I can’t feel warmth from the world or from mankind
And I run from the hands of the smiling and kind
There’s love that is oozing from somewhere inside
But under their gaze I am ready to die
You appear before the broken that’re long past their prime
With a grin more like a sneer that is dripping with spite
I wonder how I look from deep within your dark mind
I take a breath and the answers align
But I can’t find a single role that fits no matter how I try
So start the music, come now, and tear your heart out
Not done but burning down now
Mayday, shouting out loud
In a tone that’ll drown the love we found
Dramatic lines and stories are all your twisted, spinning mind loves
And you there yes yes, a gulp of air down
Trade off you’ve done your share now
Headshot through all the burden
Through the heart that beats slowly filled with sin
Reach out and take the wire, fading
The curtain man he watches as you sing
I wonder what those eyes are seeing

I absolutely love this cover, the slight echo in particular matches the original so well. I have to ask if this was intentionally a half note lower though? I think that's what it sounds like but maybe my headphones are finally biting the dust Also, David has done an amazing job once again with the lyrics. I look forward to supporting more of your awesome covers!

@@splirby He actually doesn't know much about the project. The person who writes the lyrics for Will's covers is David Toth (Bread Box on youtube) and David is the actual fan of the project between the two. Will likes the songs enough, at least, but isn't that into the project.

I was listening to this while playing the ps4 spider man game because why the he’ll not, and I was in a demon warehouse and when the line “Well here i am, so grab your guns now“ they found out I was there and started shooting at me. Perfect timing.

NEEEEED THIS ON SPOTIFY

[@iampierce7474]

I know this song is about depression of some kind but I don't know the exact message behind the song, I suck at deciphering lyrics so could someone tell me what this song is about?

[@pawseds]

A bit late, but I can give some context! Something cool I haven't seen others mention and is taken from my own knowledge is that the title 'Dramaturgy' is actually the name of a sociolinguistic theory Erving Goffman made, which uses theatrical performance as a metaphor for social interactions. It can be summarised as 'we all put up different fronts (masks, if you will) depending on our audience so they only see the part of us we want to show'. So I won't say it's about depression necessarily, but more about everyone faking who we are hence all the masks and being frustrated with that. I think the 'social roles' bit also fits with the theory. Goffman states in his book that people don't create social roles/fronts; we just choose from existing roles so it's easier to fit in. Another bit that can be tied to the theory is when the song mentions because of all this faking/mask-changing, there is no 'real identity' left. And Goffman's book kinda says this too, where we're never ourselves because we're always fronting only certain aspects of ourselves. Sorry for the lengthy response lol, but I can't help but nerd out with this song especially since I just searched up the translation for the first time. Hope it helped!

[@iampierce7474]

@@pawseds Thanks, that's a pretty cool meaning

[@pawseds]

@@iampierce7474 No problem!

[@13thprotector64]

Very good, I've seen covers stumble on those high notes, and your voice is probably a bit to deep to hit the highest notes, but you do an excellent job with your own abilities and you emphasize the words very well. I enjoyed it very very well
