You can illustrate your life in romance.
I can show you something so much more than words in my hands.
It's not your best intention now to burn your friends.
This is your last night,
This is your last chance in my hands.
Die romantic, romantic,
This is the nightmare,
We fall asleep.
Die romantic, romantic,
This is the nightmare,
We die complete.
Die romantic, romantic,
Tonight's the night and its all we need now,
To die romantic.
I sat and watched your heartbeat fade with every breath,
Is this happening?
I've fucking had it,
God save me please 'cause I don't think she'll make it through the night.
Die romantic, romantic,
This is the nightmare,
We fall asleep.
Die romantic, romantic,
This is the nightmare,
We die complete.
Die romantic, romantic,
Tonight's the night and its all we need now,
To die romantic.
Die romantic, romantic,
This is the nightmare,
We fall asleep.
Die romantic, romantic,
This is the nightmare,
We die complete.
Die romantic, romantic,
Tonight's the night and its all we need now,
To die romantic.
Your last words to me, "Tonight's the night,"
Meant redemption was only found in books.
Your last words to me, "Tonight's the night"
Meant redemption was harder than it looks.
So take care of what you love and all this stuff are remnants of a life in shattered glass.
It's all I have to ask.
I miss you.
You can illustrate your death in romance,
I can show you something so much more than words in my hands.
I felt the dead-end price you paid for every day.
This is your last night,
Suicide kept tight,
You're gone tonight.

Die romantic, romantic,
This is the nightmare,
We fall asleep.
Die romantic, romantic,
This is the nightmare,
We die complete.
Die romantic, romantic,
Tonight's the night and its all we need now,
To die romantic.
Die romantic, romantic,
This is the nightmare,
We fall asleep.
Die romantic, romantic,
This is the nightmare,
We die complete.
Die romantic, romantic,
Tonight's the night and its all we need now,
To die romantic.

    dammit182 actually hit the nail on the head.

    People who don't like Aiden are entitled to their opinions, but why are you on their lyrics site in the first place if you don't like them?

    That being said.

    I love this song

    Honestly, do you have to label absolutely every band? Like, who cares if Aiden are gothic/emo? Who cares if they are a cliche? If people like their songs, then what's the point in squabbling over whether they are emo or not.

    Sorry, just had to say that. xP

    clears throat I love this song, the lyrics aren't incredible but they're ok, and of course as everyone has been saying, it means so much. It's really catchy...

    I resent the "whiney little emo kids" comment ... if everyone who has emotion and actually cares about songs and topics like these is a "whiney little emo kids" then I don't give a fuck ... I'd rather be that than a fuckin' hater who spends their time criticizing shit on the net I don't like when I could spend time doing stuff I do like ... that's the sign of a true jackass with too much time on their hands

    this song is extremely powerful. in a recent alternative press podcast, wil francis of aiden explained that it was about a dear friend (who was a girl, not a girlfriend) who moved away from seattle (his hometown) and a month later, committed suicide. they were never romantically involved. he said "what can you do? get a tattoo, right a song, move on." and that's what he did. in reading the lyrics that he wrote about it, i didn't fully understand the song until the screaming part (I MISS YOU!) and then i almost started crying, daring myself to imagine the pain he was in when he wrote this.

    This song is about the suicide of a good friend...

    To me this song means that life isn't everything, but killing yourself isn't the solution and never will be. How bad you life seems people love you, and you can 'illustrate your life in romance' or you can You can illustrate you death in romance''. You can chose to live or die.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
