LYRICS:
God knows I tried,
But broken, I bow to the beast inside
Covered my tracks but couldn't swallow my pride
As sure as the moonlight strikes our skin,
I howled a wrecking ball and you were porcelain.
An altered state
Sometimes I even scare myself
Is it too late to question fate?
And hope is fleeting
Still tethered to this grim divergence of my being
I can’t stop the bleeding
I can barely stand myself.
God knows I tried,
But broken, I bow to the beast inside.
Covered my tracks but couldn't swallow my pride
As sure as the moonlight strikes our skin,
I howled a wrecking ball and you were porcelain
I saw your face, but it couldn’t save me
I fell from grace, and I cracked your smile
Don’t rescue me, I can’t escape it
Ravenously, feed my feral mind
We bend before we break
Porcelain, compulsions killing me
Giving in, and I can’t go back
Porcelain, it’s fucking killing me
Giving in, I can’t go back
I’ve broken my vows to reconcile
I shattered your heart, and left a crack in your smile
As sure as the moonlight strikes our skin,
I howled a wrecking ball and you were porcelain

This and masterpiece may be the "softest" songs in the album, but in terms of lyrical content, they are definitely the heaviest

[@tracylouise222]

True! This and Masterpiece gives me goosebumps!!

And slaughterhouse is heavy in lyrics and sound wise, big fan of this song.

[@juliosalazar171]

Chris “Motionless” Cerulli: This is the companion track to “Werewolf”. Both of them are about the conversation between the two parts of myself. I have my normal, compassionate self that I typically live my daily life with. Then I have what I think is a really ugly side of myself, which is really angry with explosive rage. That side of myself has ruined things in my life many times because it just takes over, and I can’t control it. In my therapy sessions, we refer to it as the werewolf because it’s appropriate to my personality, being a big fan of horror and Halloween and everything. So, “Werewolf” and “Porcelain” are essentially the same lyrical track split up over two songs.

@@claireguillon7596 what's the song about?

[@claireguillon7596]

@@julieharrison5772 I'm not the word of law on interpretation I'm not Chris haha but for me it's sung from the perspective of a powerful charismatic man who's used to being not really emotionally involved with the woman he's dating until this one that he could see was special, different but yet fragile and he could recognize how hurtful he had the potential to be, how if he behaved as usual, he could destroy her even though this time he really cared about her.. But that wasn't enough to make him change his toxic traits and he did as usual, broke her but she left and he now acknowledges what a waste it's all been and what his behavior really cost them both. Anyone free to correct me if Chris gave another "official" meaning!

[@alexisanderson8963]

@@julieharrison5772 I read an article somewhere that explained Werewolf, Porcelain, and Slaughterhouse are all tied and intentionally in their order. Werewolf is supposedly about his aggressive side, and this one like a "the damage is done." Don't remember what Slaughterhouse was. They're all obviously open to interpretation. In this one I'm pretty sure he's referencing Werewolf. "Howled a wrecking ball." "Beast inside." "Covered my tracks." Etc

[@ryujin14x]

From "I may bend but I won't break" (Holding on to Smoke) to "We bend before we break".

[@reginabaggie851]

I didn't even catch that holy shit. Holding on to Smoke is my fave. It'd be cool if this song is in connection to HOTS but I feel this one is a third installment to Eternally Yours & Another Life (but I hope I'm wrong).
