| Envy on the Coast – Lapse Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Yes, someone told me Brian wrote this for about his grandmother ! Their lyrics are amazing because they're true, it's not some shit written to make a lot of money ! I feel like, every Envy song has a soul. And this song... A masterpiece ! | |

| Do you know who sings this song ? Because i'm pretty sure it isn't Ryan, the voice is too high and clear. | |

Well, i have another opinion about this song's meaning. But i may be completely wrong. For me, the whole song is brian's grandmother's last actions. In the first verse, she says her last words to her husband, she remembers when they find out her disease and that even if she is going to forget everything, she will keep his picture. The road turned into a snake It looked in my veins and said "It's in your blood" That's when I tried to run But it was way too dark Got scared and ran into your arms Oh, sweet chemical predicament Can't stop, can't change the evident Predisposed to forget the best part The story where the hero dies without regard Made sure that the needle is clean When I let myself fall asleep And all I kept was a piece of your picture It slipped from my fingers When I slid into my dreams Second verse, she may talk to Brian's mother, remembering how beautiful she was when she got married. And that she was releaved when Brian arrived in their lives. I know you know how it feels To make a clean break My bones are your bones My home is your home You must be so confused I got scared and ran away from you Oh, sweet divine predicament I can't hide, I can't change the evident Redisposed to trust a photograph To portray the way you used to laugh Do you recall the day you wed? Such a radiant bride You couldn't wait to see your first born Take his very first steps Then you smiled at him 'Cause you thought he looked like me And in the last verse, she is maybe saying that she doesn't want to live like this, that she is not afraid to die and that she want them to let her die because of morphine or just because of an attack during a surgery operation. Then she may say that they will be with her thanks to their photographs and that she will die happy. Now that I've dodged your questions so much I don't possess the strength to answer straight And no, I'm not afraid At least not to die I'm afraid to live and not remember why Sweet chemical indifference I can't stop, can't change the evidence Predisposed to perpetual sickness I refuse to let you all be witness Make the sure the needle is clean When you let me go back to sleep And situate the piece of her picture Underneath my fingers It protects me in my dreams. PS: It's just my point of vue, it can just be a crappy analysis but i felt the lyrics that way. |
