Katatonia – July Lyrics 14 years ago
Not sure if this thread still active and seen some interesting concepts I've read so far..however I believe this song has a more indepth meaning and is about a scenary or a specific moment in his life when something dramatic had happened eg. a complicated/violent breakup or loss of personal direction.

So then while sitting/observing something..a beach prehaps "waves collide now" its obviously in the month of 'july' thinking about the sitution Feeling confused and seeking guidence he looks up and see the sky above and the scenary infront of his eyes which included himself and it seems perfect and flawless and he does not want it to leave but just to stay so he can remain in the perfection of the 'scenary' and never have to go back and deal with the real life matters at hand for in that moment in the scenery he could escape reality and his burdens and be in harmony, until it decides to dissapear and he is left alone and betrayed once again.

"I see the bright lights, its the month of july
It's Violent here, why have you left me
If only you could stay and keep me in..<---- (the scenary/scenario he witnessed)


Its wrote in a way that makes us think that a woman is being spoke about however the scenary is something he is comparing to a woman.. beautiful and flawless apon first sight or in a certain shade of light or particular season but as we know perfection does not last forever and the scenary eventually has to leave just like the woman or ambitions did which resulted in him being lead to witness the scenary in the first place..

if you keep this concept in mind when reading the rest of the lyrics it makes sense and seems kinder logical but I could be wrong any comments please feel free to reply
