Saosin – I Can Tell Lyrics 16 years ago
"If you'd keep asking me I'll melt away in the summer air
It won't hurt half as much if I beg for you to stop now"

Like green-anth was speaking at the wax-feathered wing's point-of-view:
"If you'd push any harder, the sun will melt me down...
Abandoning your ambition to soar as high as you can won't hurt half as much as falling a thousand miles above the ground..."

"If you'd keep asking me I'll melt away in the summer air
It won't hurt half as much if I beg for you to stop now"

reminds me of the story of Icarus...

My Chemical Romance – It's Not A Fashion Statement, It's A Fucking Deathwish Lyrics 16 years ago
Dunno about the lines: "for what you did to me... blahblah".

But I'm pretty sure this is about backstabbers. Y'know, the ones who become friends with you just to catch you off-guard, then tear you down.

This is like the song for the backstabbed. =p

"Do you remember back when we met
you told me this gets harder
Well it did
Been holding on forever
promise me that when i'm gone you'll kill my enemies"

I think this talks about the part when they're just signing-up their "frendship treaties". The backstabber offers his shoulder to the guy saying, "Life's a bitch. Let's back each other up, okay? *smile+wink*". Then he eventually proves that... in a harsh way. He's the one who gave his friend the taste of life's bitchy-ness WHILE the friend innocently backs him up.

"The damage you've inflicted
temporary wounds
i'm coming back from the dead
and i'll take you home with me
i'm taking back the life you stole"

The betrayed's vengence-howl. I think the lines, "i'll take you home with me", since he's sort of dead, his home is the underworld or something like hell, means that he will pull this backstabber down to hell. "I'm taking back the life you stole" somewhat means that with his revenge, he's ending the betrayer's life, while re-earning his own (he gets the pleasure of seeing that guy in pain).

"We never got that far
this helps me to think
all through the night
bright lights that
won't kill me now
or tell me how
just you and i
your starless eyes remain"

They never got that close anyways, so it won't hurt him that much eventhough he once was his friend. Cheesy things that remind him about how good and sweet that friend WAS and COULD BE, I think, are the "bright lights" that won't affect him anymore and won't soften his heart to lighten the punishment out of mercy. I think "starless eyes" means "blank expression" or something such, that won't make you pitty him, and might even worsen his anger because it seems like it's no big deal to the betrayer that he hurt him.

"Hip hip hooray for me
you talk to me
but would you kill me in my sleep
lay still like the dead
from the razor to the rosary
we could lose ourselves
and paint these walls
in pitchfork red"

These are the deepest lines that couldn't get in one sitting. I think "pitchfork red" is the color of blood, which they will spill on the walls while stabbing each other. I don't know. I'll deal with that later on.

"I will avenge my ghost
with every breath i take
i'm coming back from the dead
and i'll take you home with me
i'm taking back the life you stole"

Again, the vengence-howl of the betrayed-one.

"This hole you put me in
wasn't deep enough
and i'm climbing out right now
you're running out of places
to hide from me"

It's like the batrayed had stood back up, because the damaged dealt wasn't enough to kill him. It's payback time!

"When you go
just know that i will remember you
if living was the hardest part
we'll then one day be together

And in the end we'll fall apart
just as the leaves change in color
and then i will be with you
i will be there one last time now"

The betrayer, sarcastically, trying to pay him back for the friendship. "Life's a bitch, eh? Okay friend, I'll put you to eternal rest so you won't hurt anymore. And from six-feet below the ground shall we be bonded together. I will never forget you, my friend! *evil laugh*".

"i've lost my fear of falling
i will be with you, i will be with you"

He doesn't anymore care even if he stays down. All that matters is that he shall pull him down there, where he also is. They'll be burning there together, but the regret is on the betrayer. He shouldn't have messed with him. *evil laugh*

=p
