SONG EXPLAINED

A young lad named Norman Da Luz has a father who believes that the world is unfair and cruel, "An awful place," and that to pass on would be like waking up from a nightmare. in an act of "mercy," he kills Normans mother. Father tells Norman that in order the pass on to the afterlife 

Growing up with this mindset, Norman started questioning if his world was even real, and came to the conclusion that it was a simulation. Norman started heavily abusing drugs as a way to cope with his findings. He decides its time to "Pull the plug," that everything would be better if he were to escape to the real world.

After this, he meets God and his sideman, Charon. God confirms Normans theories, but that there is so much more to it then he knows. God advises Norman to stay by his side in order to show him the truth. Norman follows, blind to what may happen to him later on.

Because Father was essentially the heart of this whole thing, God eats Father, ending the simulation and making God the new caretaker. 

Instead of taking this path, Charon offers him a scapegoat, a way to get out of this. Charon offers him a kiss which would poison him. Norman takes it as an excuse to leave it all behind and to forget about it.

Once Norman wakes up, he found that his body was being used for a public vivisection in the real world in front of an audience of angels. 

CHARACTERS

SYMBOLISM

Religious themes- Play on the idea that if a world is created, they also create people and other things along with it.

VIVISECTION- This has two possible definitions. 

1. Norman has spent so much time reflecting and analyzing aspects of his life that each time he goes back it gets more confusing.

or

2. An actual live dissection used for the purpose of being an unethical process. In the last chorus, its taken literally, back to the days when criminals who were dissected we refused proper Christian burials. Its used to show Normans humility and to show who was in control as God refused to let him die in a peaceful way. This is the most popular theory. 

GRAMAPHONE- Has no symbolism, it was used for rhythmic purposes.

SONG TITLE- Symbolizes Norman "coming home." He spent such a long time contemplating the fake world and idolizing the real world and a God he new basically nothing about. Norman follows God blindly and discovered that this "home" isnt any better than the one he grew up in. 

LYRIC ANALASIS

Since im too lazy to write em all out ill just take em from Genius

"Father said that this world isn't for me"

Normans father tells him that the world isn't real, and that to pass on is to die.

"I tried to pray for a new reality"

"Norman deeply covets something, perhaps a will to live, as implied by the song."

"So, come to me we can change night into day."

"This may be a cult follower telling Norman that “God” is powerful enough to help him and(or) to give him the will to live.

"A tied up moth seemed to know a different way"

There might have been another player in this.

"DON'T REMEMBER IT, DON'T RETURN TO IT"

"Norman is attempting to just forget about his trauma collected throughout his life."

"Oh, Father tore out the umbilical cord"

Father did not let him live a normal childhood, instead plaguing his mind with his own.

There's nothing left in the bottle keeping me scored

"This is a reference to the character’s alcoholism, stating “there isn’t any more alcohol to soothe me.”

"We'll abandon the scenery in the"

leaving the past behind

"DON'T REMEMBER IT, DON'T RETURN TO IT"

"Norman is attempting to just forget about his trauma collected throughout his life."

"Rear-view mirror"

leaving the past behind

"A petty line of white noise"

Possibly Norman blocking everything father and other people say out and interpreting it as "White Noise."

"Pack up your bags and throw out the toys"

"Pack up your bags, you’re moving out (either self decision, or kicked out). Throw out the toys could mean “throw out the toys, you’re growing up, stop being so childish.” or Norman’s dad telling him to man up, and throwing away the things he likes/is passionate about"

"Three strikes, and "Honey, I'm home!"

"Three strikes can symbolize: 3 chances, 3 hits (abuse), or 3 bangs/knocks on the door, and in this case it’s most likely just 3 bangs/knocks on the door. This is most likely an important detail with those who deal with abuse, so 3 knocks on the door from their abuser coming home is bad news “Honey, I’m home!” is Norman’s father coming back home, and Norman is afraid of his abuse"

or

THE THREE STRIKES HAVE SYMBOLIZED TWO RELIGIOUS THINGS.

1. Symbolization of the motion of your hands to bless things "in the name of the father, the son, and the holy spirit" **doing that cross motion on the body while saying** 

2. An extremely rude insult made by a demon/demonic follower (basically a heretic like me) to knock or slam on something three times as an insult to The Holy Trinity

"Three voices come from the gramophone"

God, Charon, and Normans voice coming through.

"A vivisection of me"

"yielded the start of a mystery"

Every time Norman thinks about one thing, another confusing thing about his reality come up.
