Song meaning edit

"Scornful of the Motives and Virtue of Others": is the dictionary's description of a cynic. The song deals with people's refusal to come to terms with mankind on his terms. A testament to the hatred the band feel for a mankind that "will not embrace reason and compassion and acts on their opposites instead."
"Let Us At Last Praise the Colonizers of Dreams": An ode to the people who have inspired the band to create and help them believe that "there are people that have dreams and live for them".
"The Consummate Dragon": A parallel drawn between man and a dragon, roughly Smaug from the book The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien. The common man is the ultimate destroyer.
"Willing Oneself to Forget What Cannot Otherwise Be Forgiven": not being able to come to terms with a breakup and forcing oneself past that.
"Two and Twenty Misfortunes": A collection of all of the band's and everyone else's negative personal traits put into one man, "the most miserable of men". It deals with man creating his own destiny having a defeatist's attitude. It is again a portrait of man as they see him defined by his actions.
"Being Exemplary": The importance of raising children properly and of being an example to them.
"Given Flight By Demons' Wings": Not wanting to be angry or hateful. "Feeling like you are made to lash out and respond with hostility while only wanting to be a gentle and kind soul."
"Whether to Cry or Destroy": Being so angry and disappointed that one is torn in between two opposite feelings.
"This Song: For the True and Passionate Lovers of Music": The band's response to the insincerity and lack of integrity they observe in popular/mainstream music and its industry, writing a song just for the love of music.
"Ending the Perpetual Tragedy": Ending the vicious cycles of deaths by violence. The song deals with man's insatiable thirst for retaliation and revenge.^[8]
