Coheed And Cambria: Time Consumer Meaning

Time Consumer Lyrics

the young stale memories of play the role to your part
librarian find me the pole the one that kicks you head in
with my own time role your own innocence by
grab on to my sleeve the one that grabs at your ankle

debate to understand that we...

   I think that the time consumer part of this song is talking about him consuming the last amount of time he has with Maria and Matthew until the poison kicks in.

   It is Coheed coming home and poisoning his twins (Matthew and Maria) The second verse I think is Cambria doubting what was told to Coheed by Mayo and Coheed saying that it is needs to be done. The wait now part is Cambria distracting Josephine while Coheed comes behind her and killing her with a hammer. Done deal.

   Superiority has most of down...it starts with coheed about to kill his twin son and daughter, Maria and Matthew. It also deals with killing Josephine after she comes home from a night of horrible events with the jersey city devils.

   Yup, whoever you are you are seriously getting mixed up with the characters. Claudio doesn't have children, matthew and maria are his brother and sister. They are all Coheed's children.
   
   After Mayo approaches Coheed, he tells him about the Monstar virus which is in him. He tells him that it has been passed down to his children and will mutate into the Sinstar if he doesn't kill them. Mayo gives him poison and drops him off at home, where he is set to the cruel task of killing his kids.
   
   "debate to understand that we all have a flaw
   then fail to represent you life as you know it"
   - Coheed explains to Cambria what must be done
   
   "pain is only a pose if you just stop feeling it
   you might be able to use the very things that makes us up"
   - Coheed realises that he has to kill them and that it's for everyones own good
   
   That's pretty much it.

   To begin, this is not the introduction to the story, it's a fair way through the intro actually (but surely you all know that?).
   Basically here, claudio is killing two of his children, maria and matthew (maria my star matthew good night).
   Not entirely sure about what is happening in the second verse or the bridge either (wait now here), but I think the bridge is coheed talking to mayo about what he's done (I dunno though havn't read the comic =p).
   Then, coheed is depressed and unhappy about what he's done (time consuming, time consuming, consume me!).
   
   Good song, I love it! And feel free to critique my interpretation =).
