Tema

Una mirada cínica a la pérdida de la voluntad individual dentro de la maquinaria de la fama y la sociedad. Representa la vida como una actuación coreografiada donde los hilos son movidos por manos invisibles, y el 'intérprete' se ve obligado a esconder su dolor tras una sonrisa hueca y guionada.

Letra

[Guitar Solo] [Verse 1] I punch your clock, I play a role But every day it's the same The party's loud, and the drinks are cold But nothing dulls the pain I bite my tongue and sell the lie Pretend that I belong Another shot, another high, make it a double And make it strong [Pre-Chorus] No voice, no choice You must obey [Chorus] When the blood runs cold In the plans we've made Where the strings are pulled And the traps are laid Where the lies are truth And our lives are trade As we march in line In a puppet parade [Verse 2] I ride the edge, I twist the blade Just try to spark a flame But all the colors start to fade And blur into the same They say I've got it all, yeah right A king without a crown But when I crash against the floor I barely make a sound [Pre-Chorus] No voice, no choice You must obey [Chorus] When the blood runs cold In the plans we've made Where the strings are pulled And the traps are laid Where the lies are truth And our lives are trade As we march in line In a puppet parade [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Strings, tied to my back Must smile like a hangman, I know it's an act It's a curse, tied to charade As they dance for the crowd, in the puppet parade, ah [Guitar Solo]
