The Webs We Weave
Escape the Fate Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So grab this statement
And read between the lines
I'm walking on an edge
That's how I stay alive
I need a fix now
The pills I have to take
It helps me live a lie
And blinds all my mistakes

before I die
I will have seen it all
The mountains I have climbed
Help me enjoy the fall

Oh the webs you weave
We are caught in the fame
The passion's dead
The life you've lead
Has drown in your shame

oh the webs I weave
I am caught in this game
My passions dead
The life I've lead
Has drowned me in vain

so paint my portrait
The colors of my life
And the untold stories are painted in black and white
I can hear the footsteps
That follow to my pulse
This paranoia has haunted me like a ghost

before I die
I will have seen it all
The mountains I have climbed
Help me enjoy the fall

Oh the webs you weave
We are caught in the fame
The passion's dead
The life you've lead
Has drown in your shame

Oh the webs I weave
I am caught in this game
My passions dead
The life I've lead
Has drowned me in vain

I will have seen it all (seen it all)
I will have seen it all (seen it all)

I'm killing time
Let me go (before I die)
(I will have seen it all)
It reads their minds
Brings them close (before I die)
(I will have seen it all)

Oh the webs you weave
We are caught in the fame
The passion's dead
The life you've lead
Has drown in your shame

Oh the webs I weave
I am caught in this game
My passions dead




The life I've lead
Has drowned me in vain

Line by Line Meaning

So grab this statement
Pay attention to what I'm saying


And read between the lines
Try to understand the hidden meaning behind my words


I'm walking on an edge
I'm living dangerously


That's how I stay alive
Taking risks keeps me feeling alive


I need a fix now
I need something to make me feel better


The pills I have to take
I depend on medication to cope


It helps me live a lie
The drugs help me pretend everything is okay


And blinds all my mistakes
I'm using the drugs to ignore my past mistakes


before I die
Before I pass away


I will have seen it all
I want to experience everything before I die


The mountains I have climbed
The challenges I have overcome


Help me enjoy the fall
Falling or failing isn't so bad when you've succeeded in the past


Oh the webs you weave
Referring to someone else's scheme or manipulation


We are caught in the fame
We are trapped in the pursuit of being famous


The passion's dead
I've lost my drive and enthusiasm for life


The life you've lead
The way you've lived your life


Has drowned in your shame
Guilt and shame has taken over your life


Oh the webs I weave
Admitting to one's own deceitful actions


I am caught in this game
I'm trapped in this lifestyle


My passions dead
I've lost my drive and enthusiasm for life


The life I've lead
The way I've lived my life


Has drowned me in vain
I feel as though I've wasted my life


so paint my portrait
Create an image of who I am


The colors of my life
Representing the various emotions and experiences that I've been through


And the untold stories are painted in black and white
The untold stories are either completely hidden or out in the open, without any embellishment


I can hear the footsteps
I'm paranoid and feel like someone is following me


That follow to my pulse
The sound is in sync with my heartbeat


This paranoia has haunted me like a ghost
My feelings of anxiety and fear are constantly with me, never leaving me alone


I'm killing time
I'm wasting time


Let me go (before I die)
Allow me to live life to the fullest before I pass away


It reads their minds
I can figure out what others are thinking or feeling


Brings them close (before I die)
Knowing how to read others lets me connect with people before my time comes
