ok first of all here is the lyrics

There is no grace in act five

Only the nerves, insect-like twitches

Involuntary bowel movements, and confusion

a snail in salt doesn’t fall asleep

with a half-smile

like Grandma from the after-school special

it twists and contorts

it jerks and writhes for some time

like a living severed limb on fire

All the people who taught me card tricks are dying

I’ve been trying

to get my pop-pop’s good looks from old snapshots

And all the people who taught me card tricks are dying

I’ve been trying

to steal my grandfather’s handsome from old photographs

Even if the world is saved

And the couples kiss before the credits list

There will be more than a lifetime of death

In the scrambled signal snow that’s left

when the black intake runs out

the invisible frame’s death tacked to your movie reel

far outweigh the reel itself

All the people who taught me card tricks are dying

I’ve been trying

to get my poppa’s good looks from old snapshots

And all the people who taught me card tricks are dying

I’ve been trying

to steal my grandfather’s handsome from old photographs

There is no grace in act five

A circus tent and all the folding chairs fit in an old coffin for travel

A circus tent and all the folding chairs fit in an old coffin for travel

first of all the title. anyone who knows male reproductive organ about shakespeare knows he wrote 5 act plays. act 5 was at the end, and in his tragedies p. much everyone was dead. his comedies are mad gay though i only read macbeth so if any ****ing fabulous person bookworm wants to comment on it go ahead.

the first few lines are clearly about the agony of death. it’s romanticized as this beautiful thing but yoni he knows that’s some bull**** right there. death is ****ing awful and terrifying and easily the worst thing that can happen to you.

in the chorus he’s talking about his grandfather. he probably really admires him a lot (I’ve been trying to get my poppa’s good looks from old snapshots). he was yoni’s role model and then he had to be a male reproductive organ and then die. what a ****. all yoni wanted is to be like him Log in to see images!.

the second verse is almost at ends with the first. he seems to suggest that death is “bigged” up far too much. everyone else is all like holy **** you are dying but yoni is like w/e everyone on the planet is gonna die.

the little outro is weird. i guess he’s saying that funerals are mad gay but idk.
