This was really good! Normally I do not review lyrics, as I need to hear it along to the tune as well. The concept is dark and creepy, yet somehow extraordinarily deep. I feel that there is some sort of underlying theme of some sort. I have two interpretations I would like to give.
My first is that it is about a man (or woman) who is mentally unstable, perhaps even mad, who is pouring his heart out to someone he loves, and he is warning said person about his mental instability. He is letting the woman know what she is getting into by returning some sort of love, as if he knows he will hurt her at some point in the end. He is returning his own twisted delusion of love and despair. Yet somehow, he wishes to change for the better. He wants a revolution. He wants to evolve.
My other interpretation is that it is a person speaking to him/herself and contemplating something. I feel that the contemplation is suicide. The character in the song is obviously conflicted and depressed, not being capable of living with his own demented madness. The "revolution" or change in his life is death, and the "solution" is suicide.
I do not know what type of song this is in terms of its genre, as it could be anything from Frank Sinatra styled swing to heavy metal (like I said, I don't know because I need to hear it as well). If I had to pick, I think this song would sound best with a specific style. I feel that it is a trippy sort of prog rock in the style of Pink Floyd. The concept is something that Floyd would do, as many of their songs have dark themes, such as this. It is like something off of the Wall or Dark Side of the Moon. If you've never listened to Floyd, I'd highly recommend it because the sound is just amazing (the long instrumental and trippy guitar solos combined with the deep lyrics that possess a hint of sadness). If you have not yet picked a genre to assign to this song, I would suggest maybe doing a composition in their style.
Keep writing please! ^.^
