Explanations inside the cut

1. "Love is just a history that they may prove. And when you're gone, I'll tell them my religion's you."
Starscream is a "loyal follower", sort of. Megatron is a prophetic figure. Remember when he prevented Megatron from accepting his death in MTMTE?

"Because I won't cry for you, I won't crucify the things you do. I won't cry for you, See, when you're gone, I'll still be Bloody Mary."

Starscream seems to be the kind to glad to be rid of Megatron, if he can do it "fairly" (remember All Hail Megatron?). Starscream won't defend Megatron's actions against a court but he relishes his position as Megatron's "Bloody Mary".

2. "You talk lots about God. Freedom comes from the call...But that's not what this bitch wants. Not what I want at all."
Megatron had a noble cause in the beginning. Did Starscream do it because he thought it was a worth cause? Or was he looking out for his own hide? Did he want money, power and glory?

3. Megatron is tired of giving Starscream second chances and having to bail him out when he undermines his lord. He is threatening force (an Army of Me) if Starscream keeps being a little shit.

4. This is a song about the two of them being in bed not being so romantic. Basically Starscream sleeps with him - "you'll always be there when I call."

5. "If you were a landscape love, a kingdom I came passing through, I'd reach down for my penis and urinate all over you."

Starscream likes being pissed on. What can I say. In human AU's I can see him having a hard time from other boys growing up because he acted flamboyantly or had infatuations with other boys.

6. "Wouldn't you like to believe

I'm on the edge

I feel your palms on my back

You're murderous, you're murderous"

"When you're around, I feel it

When I'm alone, I feel the waves

Crashing, down down

Here in your arms, surround me

I feel your wings"

Now this is passionate love making music. Picked for the mention of wings.

7. "Fight for me

How could you expect

I grant normality

Die for me

'Cause if we fail

I’d rather see you cold

Than live without me

I am the crack of your voice

The static in the sound

I am the bias in your choice

I scorch the ground"

Megatron explains that Starscream would be nothing without him. Sexy song.

8. "I have plans big plans

I'm going to build you a house

Every stone will be a tear

And you'll never move out again

Yeah I'm going to build a little house for you

with no windows no door

It'll be dark inside

No light will get in at all"

Sometimes I think Starscream views Megatron as his "queen". Who he wants to kill, or "wall in". He has a dark fantasy of taking someone who is free and does as he pleases (Megatron) and ruining that person.

9. "I'm not for you

You're not for me

I'll kill you first

You wait and see

You devil undercover

You're not a prince

You're not a friend

You're just a child

And in the end

You're one more selfish lover"

There's a theory that Starscream is a prince in the TFP continuity. It's a popular fan theory. Megatron, however, was a miner from the pits. When he's angry he'll resort to pointing out that Starscream is another selfish spoiled brat. Who lets him down in the end.

10. "On the floor still nursing wounds."
I think this song conveys the sense of fear and agitation when Starscream is fresh from a beating. One where he tried to fight back.

11. "Oh, I could throw you in the lake

Or feed you poisoned birthday cake

I won't deny, I'm gonna miss you when you're gone

Oh, I could bury you alive

But you might crawl out with a knife

And kill me when I'm sleeping

That's why

I can't decide whether you should live or die

Oh, you'll probably go to heaven

Please don't hang your head and cry

No wonder why

My heart feels dead inside

It's cold and hard and petrified
