Luna Park
…And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead Lyrics

The lyrics to “…And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead’s” song Luna Park explore the internal struggle of a person who is haunted by their past and wants to free themselves from it. The song begins by the singer acknowledging the need to release their mind from the constraints of their past. They long for this release but are internally conflicted by their haunting subconscious memories, emotions, and identity. This becomes analogous to a "prodigal son" who has returned to his home, but is unable to reconcile with his past.

The lyrics then take a turn and describe the burning desire to "set this place" (the singer's mind) "aflame". The metaphorical language in the song describes the need to burn away the past so that the singer can be free from it. The song symbolically talks about getting rid of everything that is holding the singer back, frame by frame. It isn't until the final verse that the listener learns that the fires do rage, but in doing so, the singer now has the opportunity to move on.

The lyrics of Luna Park are a commentary on the struggles people tend to face when they have to confront their past. This song can resonate with people grappling with similar dilemmas, as well as with those who may have difficulty acknowledging the guilt or shame they harbor. The song serves as an anthem, suggesting that only by confronting and releasing one's pain and mistakes can a person move on and start anew.
