From Autumn to Ashes – Chloroform Perfume Lyrics 19 years ago
The end result of so many meetings
at late night diners with no one eating,
we sit in corners
and sip burnt coffee,
count the tiles
up on the ceiling,
skip this pretense
and cut straight to dying,
don’t beg me to keep your eyes from crying.

(I take this as a troubled couple meeting in some little late night diner to discuss their relationship and what should become of it but no one mentions it, they just ignore it by counting tiles or doing something that will take up their time and prevent them from talking about what really needs to be discussed. It’s from one of theirs point of view, the guy is basically like “let’s skip this charade and get to the point, I’m going to be honest so don’t bother asking me to lie, to not say what’s on my mind just to prevent yourself from pain.

I sort of take this song as being about one of the parties wanting to be done with the relationship while the other wants to stay and live a lie. )

You said so much
without ever parting your lips.

(He can see the pain in her eyes, she doesn’t have to tell him that she loves him, or is depressed because their not together)

It’s past 3am and I'm still far from sleep,
and this is a habit I can’t break,
you're my only company,
I'm skipping stones.

(After their meeting, they separate. He can’t sleep because he’s just rewinding the conversation he had with her in his head and he figures out that he does something stupid, that in all reality she was the only person in the world for him.)

And the street lights flicker like this match in my hand,
the street lights flicker like this match in my hand.
And street lights flicker like this match in my hand,
begging to strike.
begging to strike.
And I keep repeating but this payphone telly stopped receiving,
flat out of change now.
I'm sure you won't accept the charges.
It’s all the same because by morning I'll be halfway to Colorado
or someplace like that.

(He’s walking down the street, on the way he’s stopping at the payphone, and calling her hoping she’ll answer so he can tell her he’s sorry, that he loves her. He’s out of change and he’s out of faith. He figures it’s too late. It doesn’t matter anymore, he’s hurt but he knows that he’ll be gone tomorrow, maybe he’s going on tour, and her life will go on without him. )

You said so much without ever parting your lips.

Its past 3am and I'm still far from sleep,
and this is a habit I cant break.
You're my only company,
I'm skipping stones down a sub-suburban street.

(Even after all the failed phone calls, and even though he figures it’s too late he walks to her house. He knows that no matter what, no matter how much she hates him he has to talk to her, let her know how he feels, because she’s the only person for him, his only company)

She keeps on asking:
“Do you think it hurts much to die?“
It’s hurting so much more to stay alive now,
She’s gonna find out how much it hurts to die.

She laced her perfume up with death,
I feel it in my lungs,
so I'll pull in the deepest breath and drop my head

(He goes to her house, he finds her on the floor? He runs to her and death is slowly consuming her. It’s a slow death and she keeps asking him questions, like “do you think it hurts much to die?” and she just tells him that it hurts too much to stay alive and that she has to commit suicide because she loves him so much and she thought that he didn’t care for her. It’s too late for him to do anything; he just has to hold her in his arms. He makes the decision to commit suicide himself, which would explain the last lines, which I love,

“She laced her perfume up with death I feel it in my lungs, so I’ll pull in the deepest breath and drop my head”)


Well sorry if that took up a lot of room, this is my favorite FATA song, it’s simply amazing. I hope you enjoy :]

Silverstein – Discovering The Waterfront Lyrics 19 years ago
I listen to this song wayyyy to much. Silverstein is my favorite band; they have such amazing writing ability and talent :]


I take this song as being about a guy and girl; obviously, she hurts him over and over again. He's tried of it, and finally just breaks it off with her, but he can't escape her...the pain she has continuously caused him has left it's mark but he's going to find a way to overcome that and live his life, without her.

The Forecast – Late Night Conversations Lyrics 19 years ago
My favorite Forecast song, it's amazing.

It's about summer.
To me it's about friends who fall in love during the summer and at the end of it break-up.

"friends fading while falling in love"

Friendship fades into something more. The friendship is forever gone.

But one person out of the relationship still wants to be together, so their trying to make the other person come back.

"so i’ll call you for the hundredth time just asking for a reply"

Fear Before – Sarah Goldfarb, Where Are Your Manners? Lyrics 19 years ago
This song is wow. To me this song is about a guy who is basically obsessed with making this girl love him.

When he goes “In quiet defeat I dragged her body to my bed” It means that he is about to rape her, he grabbed her and maybe he knocked her out…which would explain the “in quiet defeat”

She then wakes up, on his bed and she knows he is about to do something to her, possibly rape. She is begging him to stop. “She hums a throat song chorus of "I love you" She spits up verse s but the words get lost in exhaustion”, He is choking her…and she is just repeating I love you, hoping he’ll stop but he doesn’t.


”You look so pretty with my skin touching yours. You've only got eyes for me now” he is raping her. I think the reason why he did is because she cheated on him, “You’ve only got eves for me now”

“She breathes no throat song chorus but I move her lips to form the words "I love you" I taste her lips and I know she loves me” She is dead, he is a twisted guy.

Fear Before – On The Bright Side, She Could Choke Lyrics 19 years ago
This song is obvious.

“I bet you love this!
Now peel his skin dear, peel back his skin...
And he'll just smile....
But he's only smiling to deny the pain
He's only smiling...
And I bet you love it”

I think that it’s from this guy’s best friend’s point of view. He is sitting back and watching this girl destroy his friend and there is basically nothing he can do about it because she has such control of him.

FBTMOF has been my favorite bands for awhile, this song is more “emo inspired” then the rest of their songs but it’s still amazing. FBTMOF likes to change things up a bit and you can tell in this song.

Heavy Heavy Low Low – Mall-Nutrition Lyrics 19 years ago
my favorite HHLL song.


I'm not quite sure what this song is about. To me I take it as a boy driving home after have pre-matrial sex with his girlfriend for the first time. He feels guitly and he knows that society looks down upon teenage sex. He's hoping just to die, that way he doesn't have to deal with everyone making him feel guilty.

"i only have myself to blame
oh they know they know they know"

Heavy Heavy Low Low – Tell Shannon Her Crafts Are Ready Lyrics 19 years ago
I agree. He can't fucking stand this girl. I remember when my mom heard this song one day while she was in the car with me. She was like, "Amanda what did he just say?" and I went "Mom it's ok. Atleast he said, Prettiest of rape victims, that's semi nice."

haha

The Working Title – The Mary Getaway Lyrics 19 years ago
Amazing? Yes. This is the first Working Title song I heard and I just fell in love with them after that. This song is so beautiful and sad.

It's about the typical situation.

Boy loves best friend, she doesn't open her eyes to him in that way. He just sits backs and watch her date the wrong guy, and when that wrong guy breaks her heart, he is there to get her through the night and heart ache.

In broken English she says “I lost everything to one boy who said he was mine, he said he’d hold me forever.”

I can relate to that :/
