RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS

- Pen & Paper Lyrics

This whole routine is getting old
So am I
And so are you
My reputation lets me know
I can do whatever I want to
Though it seems that you believe
You can do whatever it is you please,
Know before, know before you wind up on your knees

Don't cry to me no more

You like the way the people stare at you now
You look so fake
Just thought that you should know
You're all the same
And when the curtain drops down
You'll be replaced by something typical

You set yourself up to be sold
And thats ok cuz thats your goal
Manipulation takes its toll
What will you do when no body wants you
Though it seems that you believe
You can do whatever it is you please,
Know before, know before you wind up on your knees

Don't cry to me no more

You like the way the people stare at you now
You look so fake
Just thought that you should know
You're all the same
And when the curtain drops down
You'll be replaced by something typical

I know I stood so long beside you
And I know I should have left you right where I had found you
I know I stood so long beside you
and I know I should have left you right where I had found you

You like the way that people stare at you now
You look so fake
Just thought that you should know
You're all the same
And when the curtain drops down
You'll be replaced by something typical

You like the way that people stare at you now
You look so fake
Just thought that you should know
You're all the same
And when the curtain drops down
You'll be replaced by something typical

What is the meaning behind Pen & Paper lyrics?


When we think about the meaning behind each verse, the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus's track "Pen & Paper" critiques the unimportance and drawbacks of the fame game by means of the metaphor, a curtain going down, which indicates that the stardom is for a short time only and then again there would be someone either typical or true to the next. The main feelings projected in the paper and pen lyrics are mostly angst, reflection, anger, heartbreak and despair. However, the song also reveals the hidden side of things that include disillusionment, manipulation and exploitation, rejection and abandonment, hubris and comeuppance. The lyrics convey the themes of manipulation, fakeness and harsh criticism that probably would fit a more adult audience better. The strong language and the overall tone of confrontation give the song a PG-13 rating.
