Coheed and Cambria – A Favor House Atlantic Lyrics 19 years ago
Possible story spoilers:

Al has taken Claudio to House Atlantic to try to kill Wilhelm. They're found out and are being chased by Wilhelm's men. Al was only supposed to drop Claudio off, but Claudio knows he can't do this by himself so he asks Al to help ("Retract the footsteps that brought us to this favor, I wouldn't ask this of you"). Al is an expert marksman and he's providing cover for Claudio to do what he's trying to do ("Good eye sniper/ I'll shoot you run"). Claudio tells Newo that he needs to leave and wont be coming back ("Bye , bye beautiful, don't bother to write"). Wilhelm's guard is coming to get Claudio and he needs to get out of there, and Jesse is apparently mortally wounded in this altercation ("Disturbed by your words and they're calling all cars"). Claudio tells Newo not to write him, it be too hard for her to write and for him to think of her and also dangerous because of his possible whereabouts. I think also the "face step step down/let down" are them breaking up at the end, saying that it's over and it won't be so hard. Claudio now realizes his role as The Crowing as his destiny and realizes the danger in the situation.

Sonata Arctica – Tallulah Lyrics 20 years ago
Sorry.. But I have to say that I disagree with mopi, although he has the basic idea down.

I believe this song is about "One way love", so to speak. He's in love with Tallulah, and the feelings that she had for him have basically faded away, or weren't there to begin with. She could have been confused, or simply leading him on.

They both thought that they would be together forever, until Tallulah begins to show that she doesn't feel the same way that he does. He notices that she's hesitant to leave him, so he does it for her with a kiss on the cheek, then leaves with only "Bye".

The song shows that he obviously isn't pleased with what happened by "I hope your wish came true, mine betrayed me."

The chorus shows that he thinks that things would be perfect if she would just give him the chance and try to make things work. "This could be heaven"

Then later on, he sees her walking with the drummer of a band, who thinks that he's in love with her, but the feelings aren't true, just as she had felt for the main character before. He also realizes that he still has the same feelings for her as he did before.

I absolutely love this song, and it's really touching, even more so if you've experienced this before.
