There is a man in this world who has never smiled
You may know his tragedy, the later years by heart
In the beginning there was a mother, father and a child
A troubled little silent boy whose life they were to destroy
Known to us from this day on like his father, Caleb]
His mother came up with such a clever way to save the day with a little white lie.
He thinks he missed the point back then, but now he's grown to understand it, in a way.
"Father said "I'm sorry" only once, as I remember"
"The words were not meant to hurt, only destroy you, my stupid son..."
One person can make a difference, sometimes...
Just turn his head when the kid is still and has a weak neck.
Smiled at his funeral, "happy you're dead."
All his solutions, it seemed, were only problems in disguise
Glueing on his drinkin´ face, got ready to erase another day...
Mother was yet confident, although they had it tight, taught her son
At the end of every tunnels a little light.
It wasn't a lie, it was her hope, that everything would be fine one day
"He can fulfill his every dream, Im happy as long as hes not."
"I hate it and fear can't face it
the child is not right, he's my greatest shame
Go out, create thunder, and stand right under
That old apple tree
Where dead snakes let him feed on those
Lost hopes, all those kind words could hurt him even more, now
Somehow, lost one more way back home
Out on the lake, he rows towards a monster he shouldve been running away from, years ago.
The past had made him blind to the way hed turned the pain into a way of life.
Followed his father, tucked him in, Caleb knows the trade.
Hes the portrait of a man his mother drew to hate forever.
She was a beast, a deadly saint, wrong in many ways
Wanted to keep up the charade, until the end waltzing together
Over the hills, under the sea,
Fighting the will, whole Universe
Why does a man driving a hearse
Live in a fear, Gift and a Curse
Taking ´em out, taking ´em all,
Shooting the wall, over and out
When nothing moves, alls well,
A decision he can find a way to live with
... and dried up flowers are so beautiful.
And it applies to all things living, and dead.
For that I serve my time... in my suite in Hell.
[Solo]
"Now I ring the bell to tell the world,
I'm ready when they bring out the soon to be dead against the wall ..."
This necessary evil has no heart
Flowers and people he will now enlace
A price he must pay serving a cold
... whatevergod.

My interpretation is that Caleb's mother hated his father. The father was abusive with Caleb and his mother so that's the first part of the story. His mother hated his father so much, that she turned Caleb in a person like his father ("He's the portrait of a man his mother drew to hate forever") so she could hate him, even when his father died. During his childhoood she was good with him, teached him good things, he wanted to "keep up the charade until the end" Thats it xD!

If someday I have a son, I'll name him Caleb. Such an epic name :D

Caleb... One of those songs you both love and hate at the same time. You love it because it truly brings out the emotions of the actions, AND it sounds epic, but the message is so sad and dismal that it almost makes you sick emotionally... A hard song to describe, but no one can argue about the fact that it is a great song.

hahahaha this song is a discription of my life i am caleb
