Assistant to the Regional Manager
The Devil Wears Prada Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This light is one to hold your own weight.
This light is unto those who haven't looked.
Tied by the ghost into the current resolution.

Well, it can't much longer now.
We can face this.
Fight life with life.
All glory to the one in existence.
Bring upon your name, your grace, your every thing.

Hold hands and stare into the circle.
What are we looking at?

Rumors and rumors and rumors.
Rumors and rumors and rumors.
Wash out the lie to save depression.
Rumors and rumors and rumors.

Perished.

Guilt's inside me spit on the graves were infinite.
Take a look through the lens at the lies.
At the partitioning.

Well, it can't much longer now.
We can face this.
Fight life with life.





Enemies will come for your throat.

Overall Meaning

The first few lines of The Devil Wears Prada's song "Assistant to the Regional Manager" set the tone of the song by presenting a light that is a symbol of holding one's own weight and a light that is only to be seen by those who seek it. The idea of being tied by the ghost, suggests the weight of something that is beyond what we can see or grasp. This feeling of being bound by something intangible is further emphasized by the phrase, "current resolution."


As the song progresses, there's a sense of the impending end that is approaching, and the spirits are urging to take control of one's life to fight through it. The lyrics suggest that we can face these challenges and fight life with life. The song then shifts to a place of praising the one who exists and highlighting the importance of bringing grace and every other positive element in our lives. The line, "hold hands and stare into the circle," can be interpreted as a call for unity and finding strength in numbers, making it a perfect representation of how people need to come together to survive difficult times.


The chorus of the song revolves around the idea of rumors and the destructive force rumors can have in our lives. The phrase, "wash out the lie to save depression" is about not falling prey to the false beliefs the world feeds us, believing in oneself and not allowing oneself to fall into depression. The song finishes on a powerful note with a reference to enemies that are out there to harm and threaten, making it clear that to take on life, one must stand strong and face the challenges head-on.

These writings are to those who have weeped
These writings are to those who haven't looked
Deeply enough into the correct resolution
Wrong again but stronger now
We can face this
Fight life with life
Fight life with life
All glory to the one in existence
Bring upon your name, your grace, your every thing
Hold hands and stare into the circle
What are we looking at?
Rumors and rumors and rumors
Rumors and rumors and rumors
Assembly, Desintegration
Rumors and rumors and rumors
Perish
Tombstones serve as mirrors and the graves are infinite
Take a look through the lens and through your eyes
End the partitioning
Wrong again but stronger now
We can face this
Fight life with life
Fight life with life
Fight life with life (Life!)
Enemies we'll come for your throat

@Witchkingofangmar123 They aren't christian anymore according to Kyle answering a question on their AMA in the metalcore subreddit. Blows me away people are still religious in this day and age. Especially the 3 abrahamic religions.
