Even though They're not a Christan band it doesn't mean that they can't sing about Christan stuff... I for one think that this song is about the fall of man kind in Adams point of veiw...Now don't go calling me some crazy religious chick...I'm actually Atheist sooo >.> catch me as i fall obviously This is adam wishing For someone (god) to step in as he is about to give into temptation say you're here and it's all over now speaking to the atmosphere Again here i believe that he is talking to god no one's here and i fall into myself this truth drives me into madness According to a passage in Paradise lost ( an epic poem of the fall of satan and the banishment of adam and eve from the garden of eden) The Truth from the tree of knowledge gives adam and eve nightmares i know i can stop the pain if i will it all away don't turn away (don't give in to the pain) don't try to hide (though they're screaming your name) don't close your eyes (god knows what lies behind them) don't turn out the light (never sleep, never die) To me this whole chorus is about Adam fighting the guilt from taking a bite from the apple and acquiring the Knowledge of God. By they I just assuming demons the followers of satan taunting him for giving in so easily. i'm frightened by what i see but somehow i know that there's much more to come well when God finds out that they've taken a bite of the apple they're going to be in deep Shyte sooo immobilized by my fear and soon to be blinded by tears He's obviously afraid of the visions and being kicked out of eden i can stop the pain if i will it all away don't turn away (don't give in to the pain) don't try to hide (though they're screaming your name) don't close your eyes (god knows what lies behind them) don't turn out the light (never sleep, never die) Guilt again. fallen angels at my feet Fallen angels oh come on Satan was the original "fallen angel" whispered voices at my ear Satan and his army whispering death before mine eyes when Adam and eve were banished from the garden of eden they became mortal and thus death before there eyes lying next to me, i fear she beckons me , shall i give in This is the only verse that speaks of Eve as she Beckons him to take the apple and he gives in upon my end, shall i begin forsaken all i've fallen for Original sin anyone...according to that we are all forsaken until we've begin again...until we've been baptized i rise to meet the end he rises to speak to god..which will be his end (so he thinks) don't turn away (don't give in to the pain) don't try to hide (though they're screaming your name) don't close your eyes (god knows what lies behind them) don't turn out the light (never sleep, never die) |
