This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
I'm bleeding
bleeding inside
for love is no longer
a part of my life
I'm screaming
screaming for faith
my faith has flown out into
shining lights.
Chorus: Where am I now?
what have I gained?
trying to find
the wings of domain
Where is the love?
I'm dwelling in pain
hiding beneath
wings of domain!
Me alone
against the world
the void of emptiness
is piercing my soul
a virus
infects mankind
an infection incurable
Chorus: Where am I now?
what have I gained?
trying to find
the wings of domain
Where is the love?
I'm dwelling in pain
hiding beneath
wings of domain!
Where am I now?
what have I gained?
trying to find
the wings of domain
bleeding inside
for love is no longer
a part of my life
I'm screaming
screaming for faith
my faith has flown out into
shining lights.
Chorus: Where am I now?
what have I gained?
trying to find
the wings of domain
Where is the love?
I'm dwelling in pain
hiding beneath
wings of domain!
Me alone
against the world
the void of emptiness
is piercing my soul
a virus
infects mankind
an infection incurable
Chorus: Where am I now?
what have I gained?
trying to find
the wings of domain
Where is the love?
I'm dwelling in pain
hiding beneath
wings of domain!
Where am I now?
what have I gained?
trying to find
the wings of domain

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

What the fuck is wrong with being emotional in lyrics?! Soilwork are about the pain, and anger of life. They sing about realistic things that people go through. If someone can try to insult them by saying that there going emo, they unfortunatly do not know soilwork very well at all. There lyrics all have emotion in them. However they have puzzles in every word, every word means a different thing and no matter how long you have you cannot really truely understand a song.
man.. this is my favorite soilwork song, i was hoping to get the meaning of this song
An example of Soilwork going emo. God damn pussies.
oh its seems we have a smart ass in the house.... how is soilwork "going" emo with this song, when this is a song off their FIRST album. also their next album afterwards is much heavier.....THE CHAINHEART MACHINE. and the lyrics are far from EMO there.
please if your going to diss soilwork....do it silently.
Soilwork going emo? ...wtf are you on man? In case you had not noticed, (I doubt you had.) this song comes from their DEBUT album. I dont see how they could be going emo if this was one of the first songs Soilwork made??? Do you think they are still emo? I would say FAR from it. They arent heartless, but they certainly arent emo. Their only emo song that actually went mainstream imo was EXILE from Sworn to a Great Divide... I liked that song at first, but now it just seems way to Poppy and aimed at 13 year old girls and boys wanting to be bad-ass by listening to metal.
