To the Stage
Asking Alexandria(R&R) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm off the wall, out of my fucking mind, I'm out of control
I'll be the end of her, I'm in her head and in control
She's let me in, now take a sip and let the show begin
The floor's all yours, the house is full
You've made the slip now take the fall
I pull your strings, she's too deep in
So will she sink or swim
Ladies and gentleman
Place your fuckin bets, here we go
Oh she's down, how very spectacular
What a work of art I've spawned
Man am I proud of myself on this one
She's such a fucking masterpiece
Self destruction in such a pretty little thing
I know that I should walk away
But I can't bring myself to quit this game
She's just a beautiful girl with the weight of the world on her shoulders
I'm just a kick in the teeth from a world that's painted gold.
Turn the fuckin' tables
She's out the door, she's on her ass again like every night before
She's off the wall, out of her fucking mind, she's out of control
I was the end of her
In her head, in control
Just like before
I should've told you again
That I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry
The lyrics to Asking Alexandria(R&R)'s song To the Stage tell the story of a toxic relationship where both parties are in a struggle for control. The singer in the song is stuck in a cycle of destructive behavior, as he remarks that he is "out the door" and "on his ass again like every night before." He is self-destructive and cannot help but continue his pattern of behavior, despite the damage he is doing to himself and those around him. The singer describes how he has got into the head of the other person in the relationship, and now he is controlling her. He has managed to manipulate her to the point where she is in his power, and he urges her to take a sip and let the show begin.
Throughout the song, the singer revels in his manipulation and control over the other person. He announces to the crowd to "place their bets" and "turn the tables," showing how he likes to exploit people's weaknesses and watch them suffer. By the end of the song, however, the tables have turned, and the singer is on the receiving end of the destructive behavior. He talks about how he "could have told her again" that he is "so sorry," but that he cannot bring himself to quit the game. As the song comes to a close, the listener is left with the feeling that this cycle of self-destruction and manipulation will continue, and that the singer is unlikely to break free from it any time soon.

I'm out the door, I'm on my ass again like every night before
I am leaving again, stumbling and falling just like I usually do every night
I'm off the wall, out of my fucking mind, I'm out of control
I am acting crazy and uncontrollable
I'll be the end of her, I'm in her head and in control
I will cause her destruction, I have taken control of her mind
She's let me in, now take a sip and let the show begin
She has allowed me into her life, now it's time for her to indulge in the chaos I bring
The floor's all yours, the house is full
You have the stage now, the audience is watching
You've made the slip now take the fall
You made a mistake, and now you must face the consequences
I pull your strings, she's too deep in
I am controlling you, and she is too involved to escape
So will she sink or swim
Will she be destroyed by me, or will she overcome my influence?
Oh she's down, how very spectacular
She has hit rock bottom, and it's quite a show to watch
What a work of art I've spawned
I have created a masterpiece of self-destruction
Man am I proud of myself on this one
I am pleased with the damage that I have caused
She's such a fucking masterpiece
She is a gorgeous yet tragic figure
Self destruction in such a pretty little thing
She is destroying herself even though she is beautiful
I know that I should walk away
I am aware that I am causing harm and should stop
But I can't bring myself to quit this game
I am addicted to the chaos and destruction I cause
She's just a beautiful girl with the weight of the world on her shoulders
She is burdened with numerous problems and responsibilities, despite her beauty
I'm just a kick in the teeth from a world that's painted gold.
I am just a harsh reminder that the world may not be as perfect as it appears
Turn the fuckin' tables
It's time to reverse the roles and make her the one in control
She's out the door, she's on her ass again like every night before
She has left, stumbling and falling, something that happens every night
She's off the wall, out of her fucking mind, she's out of control
She is behaving in a crazy and uncontrollable manner
I was the end of her, In her head, in control
I was the one who caused her downfall, I had taken control of her thoughts
Just like before
Once again, everything is repeating itself
I should've told you again
I should have warned you again
That I'm so sorry
That I regret my actions and apologize
