| The Academy Is... – I'm Yours Tonight Lyrics | 16 years ago |

Okay, here goes: I think this is a song about his daughter. Here's why: "Forever alone Until I found you Now you're always there" sounds like he's been by himself, but now has someone to care for. "Voice on the air Scent on my clothes" Her cries, maybe? And that new baby smell? Like baby powder? "Oh, but when the sun Exposes all my demons Will you stay, or run away?" I believe that this part is about him being afraid of her not liking him or being afraid of him when she grows up. "I'll help you find your way Every moment you're awake You know I'll stay Even in your dreams" He's saying that he will always be there for her and that he'll help her through life. "I'll pull the stars down from the heavens To fill your empty skies" Since she's new, he might be saying that he'll fill her life with good experiences and all of his attention. "I'm yours tonight I'm yours tonight" Obvious :) "Whenever you go They say I'm bad news When everyone agrees" He thinks that people are afraid of him or disgusted with him. "Whispers start sounding like screams" He doesn't want to scare her either, but is afraid he will hurt her. "Oh, but I know what you want To say before the words escape your teeth Will you trust in me?" He hopes that she wants him in her life and that she will trust him. "My good intentions Can leave the hardest hearts The harshest scars you've ever seen My bad impressions They will follow me Makin' enemies that I can't see" He's saying that he's done things he's not proud of in his life, but he doesn't want her to know. "Forever alone Till I found you I know that you'll stay You won't run away" He's beginning to realize that she's his daughter and will always love him. Then the chorus, same as before. My description is very corny, I know, but it's such a sweet song, and I love it. Also supporting my theory are the chimes and piano in the background, almost making it sound like a lullaby. I don't know. Just my thoughts. Anyone else think so? |
