Lyrics and potential links

We had a pact
Suicide pact gone wrong
“mary look what they’ve done to me”
links to mary James’s wife, not sure who’s pov
“our peers around us grew up so dull that we left our lives behind”
they both wanted to start a new life on the other side and die together
“we’re only vulnerable to those who approach us until they realise there’s no heart to break”
callous hearts do not break

Gloom
“did he hold your hand like i used to”
holding hands theme, Madeline and the Stranger together?
“but i learnt a lot of life from watching what we had die”
not sure who’s pov, but it could be james’ seeing what he had with mary die since she had to reinvent herself and he learnt some are immortal and some, like him, are mortal.

VCR
“would you stop me if you saw me, or would we pretend our eyes miss?”
Madeline knows what James looks like, and James knows Madeline is Mary reinvented.
“nights introspection lasts” 
links to the sleep paralysis and the Stranger.

into the black
“i pray you’re doing better now since that night one year ago”
James killed Mary at night in the car crash
“breaks my heart that you were right”
James has a heart capable of breaking, Madeline/Mary could’ve warned him she’d have to reinvent and he’s sad she was right and had to leave him
“I braved the night I heard your news. Guess what you never own is worst to lose”
He never owned Mary, but he lost her
“don’t remember you this grey and blue”
what’s grey and blue? a dead person. who died? Mary. 
“embracing what dies in us while we are still alive”
Callous hearts do not age, but in order for things to keep on living, parts of the body die off and then start again. a continuous process to remain alive forever.

Novena
“we never spoke about love, just mortality”
James is mortal. Callous hearts are immortal. Mary could’ve told him then she was a part of it, and was therefore immortal. 
“would you have lived differently if you had known this life was on loan”
Callous hearts reinvent themselves so they don't get caught ageing. they create different “lives” so as not to get caught.

Black Cloud
“I’ll be your curse, the one you tell your friends about”
From Mary’s perspective? If she’s part of the callous heart
“don’t fret upon my whereabouts”
Mary to James. since she became Madeline he’d have no idea where she was, but because she was part of the callous heart he’d look for that group to find her - hence the missing posters of the band up in his hotel room
“just remember you’re still young and you’re still free, so forget about me”
Mary to James. James is 40, he has a lot of his life left. Mary wants him to stop chasing her and live his life.
Could also be from the stranger’s perspective telling Mary to not fret about where he is. “I’ll be your curse”, she’ll go and tell her friends about seeing him. “young and free,” Mary will remain young always. 

Honeymoon Suite
“hollow hearts” - the whole callous heart not breaking theme
“you can hold a hand for a thousandth time and still feel alone in the skin”
the holding hands theme again. it seems so unrequited
“lets get hexed, lets hangout”
the whole phantom being. a hex is a cast/spell you put upon someone
Allergies
“i’ve been out like a light since last night. Played our song and danced to it all alone”
James killed his wife. this could be the night after. of course he’d dance alone. he killed his wife.
“no i never ever saw this coming, friday you said you felt nothing”
James killed his wife on a friday
“Drop me off and run me down in your car”
the car accident theme
“call home” “leave me alone”
“I’ve been ill since the first I saw your face”
James has been truly and utterly fucked since he first saw the Stranger 

Lie Awake
“We tend to talk but never speak”
James contacts people through the ESP cards, he talks to them but it doesn’t involve actually speaking
“your phantom friends”
the callous heart aren’t human since being immortal
“purple bows and summer clothes”
callous heart colours
“I felt the bed fall away on the night you left”
Mary died (so left) on a Friday night
“I sleep alone out of spite (every night, every night)
James? he won’t move on from Mary 

Henley’s Ghost
“last dance as i float above your bed”
The stranger? comes while people are sleeping
“if i don’t see you now, well goodbye”
The stranger’s perspective towards mary? or james’s towards mary
“When you were mine”
either the stranger or James when they both had a hold on Mary

Secret Society
The callous heart are almost a secret society themselves, they’re only known because James looked into them, and then the person on strange southampton 
“because we’re young”
the callous heart are evergreen, forever young
“the callous heart rose and fell”
unsure what this means, BUT the new grand reveal patch is a different callous heart. almost like the stranger has a hold on it now
“the ghost of youth speaks so softly to toast the death of you and i”
a relationship ending

Valentine
“the kids are digging early graves”
Like Mary dying, would “die” so she could reinvent herself so she isn’t caught “not ageing”
“i’ve been wasting all my time for you, it’s always you”
James is wasting his time chasing Madeline because he still isn’t over it
“when i crush on you from afar, you just crash me like a car”
links to the car crash 
“holding hands with a faint desire”
the holding hands theme again

Black Mass

from the stranger’s perspective to Madeline who is Mary reinvented
“if faced the choice, you’d dream so coy of all the boys”
It’s like she didn’t want to be a part of the callous heart and the gang with the lost boys, but she wasn't given the choice
“i’m not a dream that you wish you’d have”
the stranger is a bad dream

Misery
“pronounce dead the thing we had”
Mary and James are over after she died in the car
“list of coroners”
for dead people, Mary died
“hold my hand for a little white”
holding hands theme again 
“you are all i fear”
The Stranger represents fear
“you are years ago”
James’s perspective? Mary died in 2009 

Astral Projection
“Last January i held my breath and begged for a life less laced with tragedy, you never wanted me”
James went missing in January, Mary left him easily which could mean the “never wanted me”
“do you really want to wake alone? don’t you want to go home”

“i grieve the loss of who i was in vain, my nights disintegrate into you”
James perspective? Misses who he used to be before he got so caught up in the callous heart and Madeline. In Hiding With Boys video he’s out at night trying to find Madeline.
“do you see me the way that i see you in other people’s eyes”
It’s unrequited, whoever’s speaking
“purple and true, i do this all for you”
callous heart colour
“why fall in love to fall apart”
James was in love with Mary and she left
“we all wilt and fade, tragic and tried we dissipate”
Wilt and fade could describe ageing. Everyone grows old and fades away, except the callous heart.
“that place between sleeping and awake, that half dreaming space is where i’ll always keep you”
Link to Hook where Tinkerbell says it to Peter. Also talking about the Stranger since he is a link to sleep paralysis

Hiding With Boys
“do you ever think of me the way i think about you”
unrequited, in the video it features James about Madeline?
“If i ever die”
Humans are mortal, the callous heart aren’t. Who is questioning whether they’re gonna die?
“hiding with the boys in your bedroom”
Madeline hanging with the callous heart, the lost boys
“hiding the evidence of dying youth”
does this link to the fact the callous heart don’t age?
“im yours but you don’t care”
Mary died, but James still views her as his because they never broke up. Now Madeline is around she doesn’t care about James
“loving you is killing me”
James still loves Mary/Madeline, he keeps chasing her and he’s just getting himself in shit with the Stranger but he can’t let go

Suzanne
firstly who the FUCK IS SHE
“up and out the window before anybody hears”
Peter Pan reference
“set fire to yourself and yet still your heart it froze”
callous heart, not a real heart
“i wanna die holding hands”
holding hands theme
“listed all your enemies, what you’d do to them and what you’d do it for”
WHO IS THIS GIRL AND WHY HAS SHE GOT A DEATHNOTE
“can music save your mortal soul?”
Suzanne not in the callous heart? if she was she’d be immortal
“in your hospital room”
why is she THERE
“set the hostages free”
has the stranger got the callous heart hostage? are Suzanne and whoever’s perspective this is from gonna try save them? Links to hiding with boys, they may not be “hiding” they may be trapped. could explain why the stranger keeps an eye on james in the video when he’s searching for the callous heart. he wants him to leave them alone. 


whoever’s perspective this is from, they’re pretty fucking adamant on dying holding hands but wHO ARE THEY BOTH.
