The Birthday Massacre – Calling Lyrics 13 years ago
Come, take a look inside
What you've lost you'll find
What you want is right in front of you
Look, underneath the stairs
What's broken is repaired
Now there's nothing left behind
Nothing left of you

Voices start to change
Faces rearrange
Eyes roll back and hands are pulling you down
They're dragging you beneath
Blood between your teeth (?)
You'll sleep when the shadow moves over your

Black eyes
I hear you calling out for me tonight
No rest for the soon departed
Black eyes
You won't be dreaming when you sleep tonight
I'll finish what you started

Eyes hiding in the hall
Hanging on the wall
Through this broken window
Feeling the cold distance of the moon
In this empty room
Now there's nothing left behind
And it's all because of you

Cover your ears
You don't wanna hear
The whispers in the walls are making it clear
You're all by yourself
There is no one else
You'll sleep when the shadow moves over you

Black eyes
I hear you calling out for me tonight
No rest for the soon departed
Black eyes
You won't be dreaming when you sleep tonight
I'll finish what you started

Hands cover your eyes now that you realize
All the things you loved were never here
What's lost will be found buried underground
You'll sleep when the shadow moves over you

Black eyes
I hear you calling out for me tonight
No rest for the soon departed
Black eyes
You won't be dreaming when you sleep tonight
I'll finish what you started

The Birthday Massacre – Burn Away Lyrics 14 years ago
i don't know why you idiots insist on being the absolute first people to post lyrics, so you post them in a hurry from the clips like it even matters.

full song:

she's out of sight
he's out of mind
they've always lived in the castle.
the poisoned nights, and moving lights
they're inside, out of the window.

there's a fire in the city of pictures,
leaving nothing but ashes below.
it's only forever for a day
tomorrow is burning away.
.....burn away.

she's out of touch
he's out of time
they'll always live in the castle.
the fading flower, the passing hours
they fall like sand through the fingers.

there's a fire in the city of pictures,
leaving nothing but ashes below.
it's only forever for a day
tomorrow is burning away.
.....burn away.....burn away...

there's a fire in the city of pictures,
leaving nothing but ashes below.
it's only forever for a day
tomorrow is burning away.
.....burn away....burn away...burn away...

The Birthday Massacre – Secret Lyrics 15 years ago
I woke up as I lay there
Bleeding slow
There was no way to make all this blow over
So, I started writing the ending
I said too much
And you just kept on pretending
For both of us

I could never speak in a way
Came only to hear,
I couldn't convey
Oh we're just sinking too fast to say
The two of us, whispering her away

All the days that I've counted
You'll never know
All that I promised you doubted
I told you so
Forget the words that were spoken
And thought to waste
Let's burn the path that was chosen
Without a trace

I could never speak in a way
Came only to hear,
I couldn't convey
Oh, we're just sinking too fast to say
The two of us, whispering her away

I could never speak in a way
Came only to hear,
I couldn't convey
Oh, we're just sinking too fast to say
The two of us, whispering her away

these might be a little wrong but i think they're mostly right.

The Birthday Massacre – Sideways Lyrics 15 years ago
It's not enough to find a moment
As light moves away
We'll leave tonight on empty highways
There's no coming back here

The painted hallways
Forever and always
Are lost to you
How can you criticize
When you're not here to compromise?
Worse fate as time goes by
Without you, without you...

Fall to the floor
(?) sideways
As day turns to night
Ghost in the walls
Through empty doorways
Like we've always been here

The painted hallways
Forever and always
Are lost to you
How can you criticize
When you're not here to compromise?
Worse fate as time goes by
Without you, without you...

Without you...without you...
Without you...without you...

The Birthday Massacre – Shallow Grave Lyrics 15 years ago
Her voice cuts through the walls
Rings through everything that's hollow
These bitter words recall
All that's left and hard to swallow

She was always good for nothing
(???)
All's she got to lose is everything she never had.
Every back turned to her...

We put it down in a shallow grave
She wears a dress like body bag every day
And this way she won't have to run away
And she can keep her regrets at bay every day

Her blood runs hot to cold
Always breaking while she borrows
Her favors bought and sold
She lives like she's dead tomorrow

Just another reason
Looking for the next because
Just another has been
(???) never was
Every back turned to her...

We put it down in a shallow grave
She wears a dress like body bag every day
And this way she won't have to run away
And she can keep her regrets at bay every day

Tomorrow's not a new day
Or time to think things through
As patience starts to fall away
A day can feel like two
When we gave her a new face
The past was out of view
She never fooled us
Because she could never fool herself

We put it down in a shallow grave
She wears a dress like body bag every day
And this way she won't have to run away
And she can keep her regrets at bay every day

The Birthday Massacre – Pale Lyrics 15 years ago
I'm looking at a face, a pointed chin
Towards the sky and arrogant
It easily betrays the closest friend
A moment lost, no consequence

A circle starts again, away from you
Deception pulls us in, away from you
Away from you, away from you...

Imitation, a fabrication
A pretty fake, but counterfeit
An empty carcass behind the artist
Is there a trait of innocence?

So how do you portray a sentiment?
(???)
The truth is bent
And much to our dismay, they're ignorant
The more that we make up the more it fits

A circle starts again, away from you
Deception pulls us in, away from you
Away from you, away from you...

Imitation, a fabrication
A pretty fake, but counterfeit
An empty carcass behind the artist
Is there a trait of innocence?

This doesn't feel right
Feels like everything's further away
Dead as the nightlife (?)
Hindsight, watching another mistake
We never feel right, warm night (?)
Following into the day
Dead as the street light, pure white
Washing the color away

Immitation, a fabrication
A pretty fake, but counterfeit
An empty carcass behind the artist
Is there a trait of innocence?

i did my best, these lyrics are tricky as hell.

The Birthday Massacre – Two Hearts Lyrics 15 years ago
lol seriously, what was the point of posting all the lyrics from the fucking song clips?

corrections:

Erasing these two photographs
Is just a waste of time
The danger's in the subtlety
Between the evening and the night

Two hearts beating
One beats the other
While the other just looks away
Two hearts dreaming nightmares together
Leaving nothing more, nothing left to say

Replacing every part of me
That's in between the lines
The problem (?) is just a shade of grey
Between the darkness and the night

Two hearts beating
One beats the other
While the other just looks away
Two hearts dreaming nightmares together
Leaving nothing more, nothing left to say

Two hearts beating
One beats the other
While the other just looks away
Two hearts dreaming nightmare...
Nothing more, nothing left to say

The Birthday Massacre – Control Lyrics 15 years ago
Err (or so it sounds) on the side of caution
They're taking in the new girls

(Two faced, too poised to shed a tear)
No memory to speak of
(Passed in the night, we didn't hear)
The fading breath of your love

We lose control of the moment
Another trend goes out of season
A new love(?), forever
Look the other way
You see through me
A new trend - indifference

You are a child of privilege
Your reputation leads you
(All traits of life will disappear)
You're falling into season
(Their every word is insincere)
There is no time for reason

We lose control of the moment
Another trend goes out of season
A new love(?), forever
Look the other way
You see through me
A new trend - indifference

(I can't even understand this part from the actual song)

We lose control of the moment
Another trend goes out of season
A new love(?), forever
Look the other way
You see through me
A new trend - indifference

The Birthday Massacre – In The Dark Lyrics 15 years ago
All these broken pieces left unglued
Should never find their way into
the hands of someone like you

I'm in the dark
I'm alone around you
I've never been here before
Nobody here to get me through
Oh, I'm in the dark

Every minute shared is never mine
Frozen in this fog and hiding every second in time

I'm in the dark
I'm alone around you
I've never been here before
Nobody here to get me through
Oh, I'm in the dark

I'm losing my faith in every way
That points to you, Oh
I'm in the dark
I'm alone around you, Oh
I'm in the dark

The more weak the day
The less I behave as if
Everything black can wash away
Oh, Can't I just trade a dream for a way
To peel back the shade behind the grey?

I'm in the dark
I'm alone around you
I've never been here before
Nobody here to get me through
Oh, I'm in the dark

The Birthday Massacre – Sleepwalking Lyrics 15 years ago
Wait dear
The time is getting late here
I'm all washed up
And graced with feigned applause
Dressed in a cheap facade
I'm looking for a place I'll never see again.

A night turns to a day
A street I've never walked on
I was never here
Just a faint reflection
The day turns to a moment
I'm stuck in the reflection (A second, a reflection?)
I was never here
Just a faint reflection

Faking
There's nothing here worth taking
Just my reflection fading
On the wall
Not the fairest one of all
I'm looking for a place I'll never see again.

A night turns to a day
A street I've never walked on
I was never here
Just a faint reflection
A day turns to a moment
I'm stuck in the reflection (A second, a reflection?)
I was never here
Just a faint reflection

echopark is only half right. i saw them again last night and this is far and away my favorite song by them, and stephen promised me a few nights before to play an acoustic in the parking lot, but apparently they've never ever performed this song and stephen did all the instrumentals so they had no idea how, but i asked him what he wrote it about, and he said that it was just about the band and how much their friendship means to him, and he wrote it as they were starting to do world tours and how insane the feeling was of him and his best friends going all over the world and stuff.

Drop Dead, Gorgeous – Worse Than A Fairy Tale Lyrics 18 years ago
i'm not really sure about this one at all. this is obviously the murderer talking, again.

Don't play detective now.
You can try but you won't find a trace.
It's a sin to have these eyes.
Well, God blessed me with good taste.

im getting the feeling that this song is about the murderer picking up a hooker or something, who may be catching on to his tendencies the more time she spends with him? no idea.

submissions
Drop Dead, Gorgeous – The Pleasure To End All Pleasures Lyrics 18 years ago
this is my second favorite song next to red or white wine, great stuff :]

everything i'm saying now is just going off of past theories, because i think this album is going in chronological order of the way that things happened at saylor lake. but if my theory about drawing the devil is right, i'm pretty sure i have this song down.

i think this song is going to be about the second murder, in which the murderer cheated on his wife with whoever this victim is.

"You love her, you love her, you love her.
No you don't.
You're better, you're bitter, you're better off without.
You love her.
You'll never leave her."

i think this is the girl, trying to convince him that he doesn't actually love his wife, and changing her mind over and over or something, and maybe giving up hope of being with him or something by saying he'll never leave her.

Did you get my call?
So I know you're home.
Did you get my call?
Locked up in your room.
I still have your key.

this sort of jumps ahead to you liar, you liar, but i think this is referring to something that happened before what that part is talking about. i think the girl may have ended up telling people about the affair, and she knows that he's pissed off at her so she's just staying in her house. so when he goes to kill her, he calls to see if shes there. i still have your key should be about how he breaks into the house.

You liar, you liar, you liar, who'd of thought?
You couldn't, you couldn't control your mouth.
You liar, you liar, you liar, who'd of thought?
You couldn't, you couldn't, you couldn't shut your mouth.

im thinking this is about when she told, i don't know how many people or who, but i think she ended up telling.

Die, bitch, die.
Die, bitch, die.
Tearing out your organs.
Die, bitch, die.
There'll be no escaping.

("Maybe this time I've gone a little too far,
But you had it coming.")

this is just describing when he killed her...how he knows that he's getting ridiculously out of control, but he's rationalizing it with how she deserved to be killed.

the only flaw i see in my theories so far is that if she actual made the affair known to the public, he would have been suspect #1 before he could commit any other murders, which he wouldn't have killed her if that would have been the case. maybe she just told his wife personally, and he killed his wife too..?

anyways, i think i'm getting a little too into this lmfao.

submissions
Drop Dead, Gorgeous – Drawing the Devil Lyrics 18 years ago
this song is sort of confusing me. this is before ddg has released anything other than red or white wine at the saylor lake website, so i have nothing to go on lol.

but i think it's obviously about a girl who married a really really bad guy. maybe the bad guy is the murderer or something? and this is just describing his home life.

"I met you at the alter and your lips tasted different,
Then placed my ring upon your hand and knew we'd die together.
And now I'll call you my wife, give me your heart, I'll grow it into size."

so the guy/murderer is saying this part apparently, and maybe he think the girls cheated on him? hence the different lip taste thing. i think he planned on trapping and controlling her from the start, by saying he knew they would die together. not sure about the heart part though.

Drop Dead, Gorgeous – Red or White Wine? Lyrics 18 years ago
finallyyy. this is definitely my favorite song on the new album, i've been waiting for forever to read the lyrics lol. well i can say for sure that this is obviously about the first murder at saylor lake, and that it's being sung by the murderer. the lyrics make it sound as though the girl deserved it in some way though..."You'll hang for what you've done."..."The concrete will stain from the blood which you paint."

and a little mistake, it goes "tell me, darling, is something wrong?" you got it a bit inverted lol, but the rest seems good. :]

Drop Dead, Gorgeous – It Sounded Like An Accident Lyrics 18 years ago
the lyrics seem pretty good, capitalization of everything is a bit annoying if you're looking closely though lmao. but anyways, this song is semi-obvious, but i feel like i can clarify a few things hopefully. knowing that this whole cd is concept of the saylor lake murders, etc, it makes this pretty easy.

Soaked In Blood, Only To Be Sterilized. Served Alive,
I Want To Be Traumatized.

sterilized can mean a lot of things...basically the two definitions are to clean something, and to make something sexually immobile. i would imagine it's the latter here. i'm thinking this song is obviously about one of the actual murders, and that this person was possibly castrated...maybe even had the normal sterilization procedures. if this is based on a real murder, i could probably look everything up to be sure, which i'll probably do, but this is just interpretation on my part which is kind of fun lol. served alive could refer to possible cannibalism of the body in general, or if i'm right about the castration, maybe eating...that...but i think it refers to the next part. i'm not sure why the person would want to be traumatized.

Don't Tell, Don't Tell.
Keep This In Your Locket.
Wade In The Water, Careful For Sharks.
Wade In The Water, But Not For To Long. The Pain Is Deep And Wide

apparently don't tell refers to whatever she is keeping in her locket. i don't know what that would be though lol. the water and shark part i think refers to being thrown in actual saylor lake after the murder, i think the sharks are just a helper to that idea and not actual sharks, and that the served alive part above could be about this. the water and not too long part should be about finding the body im pretty sure. the pain is deep and wide could refer back to the sterilization.

Cannot Escape From The Lives We Have Made.
Where Are We Now, I'm Staring To Forget Just What It Was You Said
Exactly, The Love Is Gone Only To Spawn Disastrous Memory.

i don't really know what to make of this...this doesn't seem to fit anything at all. if you read the last section of the song, it starts with im starting to forget and goes to being soaked in blood, so this makes me think that the middle part is being said by the person being killed. for what reason, i don't know.

I'm Starting To Forget. Soaked In Blood, Only To Be Sterilized.
Served Alive, I Want To Be Traumatized

close enough to the first part.

this sort of just occured to me, and it goes off of everything already said, but it stills explains a part.

if (fake flowers) we (fake tomb) make it to the final scene,

- we being everyone in his grandma's life, the final scene being her last hour

show (fake flowers) me (fake tomb) to the sapphire pit.

- im not really sure what a sapphire pit is, but i think it's asking everyone to let her know that she's dying.

peel (fake flowers) the (fake tomb) candy crust off my body.

- don't act like there's a chance she'll make it if there isn't, like a comment up top said, i think the candy crust is sugar coating everything.

throw (fake flowers) in (fake tomb) the brittle skeleton.

- referring to her cremation i think. or being buried.
