Alesana – Pathetic, ordinary Lyrics 15 years ago
I believe this song is about a man who dreams about the perfect girl, but eventually the dreams become true and he sees her. Judging by references to Autumn, this is the season the song takes place in.

"she haunts me in dreams
I see her silhouette dance across landscapes of golden light and autumn
...in my dreams..."

The "perfect" girl finds out that the man loves her, but is waiting for him to be a man to tell her about his love.

"her soft eyes see through my tortured soul vanishing any hope for fantasy
the things I'd give, to prove myself to her, to make her see...
jaded eyes awake as her selfish words rain from such placid lips
still I kiss her silken flesh"

However, the man is too afraid to confess his love for her and ponders that maybe she will make the first move instead. He then realizes he's a fool for not confessing his love to her. Had he have been with her things may of been different and she may have been still alive.

"I'm broken by her silence to a love unseen blood soaked feathers rain down my wingless angel so broken falls gracefully from the sky to waiting arms...to waiting arms...
The season flows by to the time of winter and the woman falls ill from the cold grip of the new season. The man has yet to tell her he loves her and right before he gathers his courage to finally tell her; she succumbs to her illness and dies.

"frigid air leaves me breathless
foolish agony fills my lungs as I try to scream for her
I confess...I scare myself and you're my fault through the howling wind, on my knees, I cry...listen to me...

such foolish agony fills my lungs as I try to scream for her jaded eyes wake to the sounds of my voice as I scream for her in dreams I've seen her silhouette dance across golden light and autumn... in my dreams...

skies so burdened let her go...as cold rain falls, so does she my desires wither, broken once more
soft hands take one so fair
...she haunts me..."

Saetia – One Dying Wish Lyrics 16 years ago
Saetia will remain my favorite band of all time. When all the members scream, "When did we begin?!", I can only indulge on the emotion they've put into this song, if not their best work. Not only that but the choice of lyrics, how they are expressed, and the literate genius of all their songs.
