Summary: I think this song is about a loss of independence during the span of a relationship. She becomes submissive and docile, purposeless and depressed after a while of just letting things be when things didn't go right. This song is just an expression of how wrong she'd been in thinking that that was the average way -- the right way. "Used to be a major scale, But the melody went stale," The two lines above seem to refer to the love the two once had. It used to be all-consuming -- a harmony -- but it is no longer pleasant to hear, not a 'melody' that could soothe her head and heart. "Musical cacophony let, Insy Winsy spider free.: Here, it carries on with music symbolizing their love. While in love, it's like a passionate whirlwind, one never thinks but merely does, it's either a fury of emotion consuming them or the deep, impacting movements of molten lava. But -- with either type -- this love has ebbed away, leaving her to think about their 'love.' The Insy Winsy spider is free, symbolizing 2 things: the loss of her purpose (the spiders role in the story was to get out of the spout, now it's done that, then what's next?) and the revelation of her loss of purpose and independence. "You're a rich little boy, Who's had to work for his toys," She describes him nearly scornfully, but notably still announces the remainder of feeling for him -- she is his toy, but he worked for her. She liked him 'courting' her and misses it. You've got all the sensibilities, oh, Of an upper class guy. He's grown cold and condescending and she is almost blaming him for her loss of self. She is basically saying "You made me like this by treating me inferior, so I played the part." No, no I'm not your little slave, No I don't twist and turn that way, She's fed up with being the inferior one in the relationship. Now she will not let this role become hers till death. Only got bad things to say, You're always asking what is up, up with me, I think she is saying that HE has only bad things to say but then asks why she's upset. She is pointing out the irony of him asking why she's depressed when he is the very reason. Could never tell you what happened, The day I turned seventeen, This refers to my previous statement, which is that he is the reason she's depressed but she can't tell him that. I'm assuming that 17 is the year they met and when it all began. The rise of a king and the fall of a queen, Oh seventeen, Seventeen. Her husband is the king and she was a queen. I think this symbolizes her loss of independence in her own world. She no longer rules herself and, ever since the day they met -- 17, she has been bowing to him. Oh, you were embarrassed of me, 'Cause I used my tongue freely, Bet you wish I couldn't speak, 'Cause when I do, you know, I tell you why you appear weak. I think this part refers to a time just after she realized that she had lost her independence as a woman to him because it seems as though he is embarrassed by her sudden change in behavior and sudden disdain for him (as she blames him for her being like this). You want a hassle free life? Go get your upper class wife, She refers to him becoming who he is now and who she became after her loss of self. He became rich and condescending because he didn't want worries. Now that he's living luxuriously, she's unhappy and decides to abandon his perfect version of her and live as she wants to be. She doesn't like that they both forgot who they were and are. She's got all the personality, oh Of a lemon that has been. Truly sucked dry. The relationship with him has turned her bitter and made her lose her purpose. What use is a lemon if you cannot use it for making lemonade? You teach me how to behave, I felt you question the way, I was brought up as a baby, Well you don't know fuck about my family. This is a reference to their loss of intimacy. He knows nothing about her and instead of trying to find out about her or why she's become like this, he tries to train her. The baby eludes to the naive self she'd been at 17, but she becomes defensive because she misses that self and the life that brought her up to be that way. Could never tell you what happened The day I turned seventeen He's the reason she's depressed. Her life was doomed since the day that they met -- 17 -- but she can't tell him that. The rise of a king and the fall of a queen Oh seventeen (seventeen), Oh seventeen, Oh seventeen, The rise of the king and the fall of a queen, Oh seventeen. The rise of him ruling her world and her loss of independence and self-sufficiency when they met. Never felt like a princess, I used to kill myself in this dress, She reflects on her initial reactions to the docile role she'd begun to assume: she hated it and never felt like the happy, pampered up snob that she appeared to be. But now she is one -- to her dismay -- as is made obvious the distress and hopelessness in her tone as she sings. Thought (the lyrics are wrong) it was just how things, Were meant to be, Oh seventeen, Seventeen. The only reason she became like this was because she thought love was sacrificing things for one another but in the end, the day they met brought her to her doom. Unintentionally, she'd begun to believe the lie she made so he could be happy and may have destroyed their love in the process. -K |

I think this is generally about a relationship that goes from love to hate. It starts out as a girl who is eager to learn things about the "under world" of real life and learn secrets that everyday people don't and can't know. Take me I'm alive ( This is her desperation for the "under world" where people die illegally, people who live lives that are constantly on the verge of being taken. She wants to be taken to it, so she can know. ) Never was a girl with a wicked mind (She was never able to imagine the truth, now that she knows how cruel and 'wicked' everything actually is.) But everything looks better when the sun goes down (She, although now open eyed, is fascinated by this knowledge and is now living in the initial bliss of the "underworld" and "darkness", not expecting the later distress she will feel.) I had everything/ Opportunities for eternity/ And I could belong to the night (Now the distress has come and she realizes how far her life could have gone had she remained in ignorant bliss and simultaneously recognizes the thin line these ignorant people walk on as they live in the same world filled with the same darkness and are everyday near death, should they discover the atrocities of that world.) Then your eyes/ Your eyes/ I can see in your eyes/ Your eyes (The man who tempted her and allowed her to walk into this dark world from her "light" one, used feelings to get her to walk into it. He tricked her with emotions and by using his eyes, she couldn't resist and walked right into everything she asked for and everything that would kill her.) You make me wanna die (She hates him now because he tricked her.) I'll never be good enough (She is afraid for her life, she could never be as good as him in surviving that dark world and doesn't want to die. It's either learn quick or die slow and now she is understanding that.) You make me wanna die (She hates him.) And everything you love will burn up in the light (He loves her but now she can never walk back into that blissful world without dying. Now that she is a part of that dark world, she can never leave it without dying first.) And every time I look inside your eyes/ You make me wanna die (She still has feelings for him and his eyes only remind her of her feelings and of her unfortunate future.) Taste me drink my soul/ Show me all the things that I shouldn't know (The girl is reflecting on how eagerly she gave up her life for him and what she "shouldn't know." She bared her "soul" to him and gave herself up completely, leaving her vulnerable to him.) When there's a blue moon on the rise (She couldn't have known it then but she thinks back to the irony of how she was back then and sees that she was a "blue moon" or rare occasion who is on the "rise" or surviving the dark world unexpectedly.) I had everything/ Opportunities for eternity/ And I could belong to the night (Same as above except now she is not quite as distraught.) Then your eyes/ Your eyes/ I can see in your eyes/ Your eyes/ Everything in your eyes/ Your eyes (His damn eyes are drawing her in again. She can see herself in his eyes and because he is the one who is helping her learn how to survive, she is becoming like him and now can only see a future where she will always be near him, always able to see herself in his eyes. Everything she wants is starting to become him which is dreadful to her.) You make me wanna die/ I'll never be good enough/ You make me wanna die/ And everything you love will burn up in the light/ And every time I look inside your eyes/ You make me wanna die/ (That whole section is about her trying to keep herself from loving him because she realizes still that she would die is she left the dark world but "every time [she]...look[s] inside [his]... eyes" she can't help but feel drawn in and in love. It makes her wanna die NOW because the love is so crushing and exactly the opposite of what she could want.) I would die for you my love My love (She is coming to grips with her feelings. He is making her want to die in a new way... for HIM should the situation come.) I would lie for you my love My love (You make me wanna die) (She would fool everyone in the world of light, forsake all those who she once loved and trusted her for him. Again the author hints the NEW suggestion of the reason she would wanna die.) I would steal for you my love My love (You make me wanna die) (She would steal others out of the world of light [refer back to 'take me' in the top line] who don't know what they're asking for as he did with her for him if he asked.) And I would die for you my love, my love We'll burn up in the light (She confessed her love for him and now, loving her back, he sees what this dark world has done to her and can't let her be in the suffering of the dark world anymore. He's decided that she and he will escape into the world of light, even if it is certain that they will die.) And every time I look inside your eyes (She feels content looking inside his eyes, even in the face of extreme suffering.) I'm burning in the light, look inside your eyes I'm burning in the light, look inside your eyes (They left the dark world and now she is dying with him but he tells her to look inside his eyes and she listens and feels calm as he knew she would.) You Make Me Wanna Die (His love for her and her love for him made her willing to die even in the most unconquerable of obstacles and she took the chance for him so now she is paying the price. She died.) So the gist? A relationship that transformed from hate into love where she became willing to die for him and eventually did. It's long I know but I hope it makes sense. Don't make me wanna die please by telling me you hate it ;D |

You Make Me Wanna Die (His love for her and her love for him made her willing to die even in the most unconquerable of obstacles and she took the chance for him so now she is paying the price. She died.) So the gist? A relationship that transformed from hate into love where she became willing to die for him and eventually did. It's long I know but I hope it makes sense. Don't make me wanna die please by telling me you hate it ;D |

I think this is generally about a relationship that goes from love to hate. It starts out as a girl who is eager to learn things about the "under world" of real life and learn secrets that everyday people don't and can't know. Take me I'm alive ( This is her desperation for the "under world" where people die illegally, people who live lives that are constantly on the verge of being taken. She wants to be taken to it, so she can know. ) Never was a girl with a wicked mind (She was never able to imagine the truth, now that she knows how cruel and 'wicked' everything actually is.) But everything looks better when the sun goes down (She, although now open eyed, is fascinated by this knowledge and is now living in the initial bliss of the "underworld" and "darkness", not expecting the later distress she will feel.) I had everything/ Opportunities for eternity/ And I could belong to the night (Now the distress has come and she realizes how far her life could have gone had she remained in ignorant bliss and simultaneously recognizes the thin line these ignorant people walk on as they live in the same world filled with the same darkness and are everyday near death, should they discover the atrocities of that world.) Then your eyes/ Your eyes/ I can see in your eyes/ Your eyes (The man who tempted her and allowed her to walk into this dark world from her "light" one, used feelings to get her to walk into it. He tricked her with emotions and by using his eyes, she couldn't resist and walked right into everything she asked for and everything that would kill her.) You make me wanna die (She hates him now because he tricked her.) I'll never be good enough (She is afraid for her life, she could never be as good as him in surviving that dark world and doesn't want to die. It's either learn quick or die slow and now she is understanding that.) You make me wanna die (She hates him.) And everything you love will burn up in the light (He loves her but now she can never walk back into that blissful world without dying. Now that she is a part of that dark world, she can never leave it without dying first.) And every time I look inside your eyes/ You make me wanna die (She still has feelings for him and his eyes only remind her of her feelings and of her unfortunate future.) Taste me drink my soul/ Show me all the things that I shouldn't know (The girl is reflecting on how eagerly she gave up her life for him and what she "shouldn't know." She bared her "soul" to him and gave herself up completely, leaving her vulnerable to him.) When there's a blue moon on the rise (She couldn't have known it then but she thinks back to the irony of how she was back then and sees that she was a "blue moon" or rare occasion who is on the "rise" or surviving the dark world unexpectedly.) I had everything/ Opportunities for eternity/ And I could belong to the night (Same as above except now she is not quite as distraught.) Then your eyes/ Your eyes/ I can see in your eyes/ Your eyes/ Everything in your eyes/ Your eyes (His damn eyes are drawing her in again. She can see herself in his eyes and because he is the one who is helping her learn how to survive, she is becoming like him and now can only see a future where she will always be near him, always able to see herself in his eyes. Everything she wants is starting to become him which is dreadful to her.) You make me wanna die/ I'll never be good enough/ You make me wanna die/ And everything you love will burn up in the light/ And every time I look inside your eyes/ You make me wanna die/ (That whole section is about her trying to keep herself from loving him because she realizes still that she would die is she left the dark world but "every time [she]...look[s] inside [his]... eyes" she can't help but feel drawn in and in love. It makes her wanna die NOW because the love is so crushing and exactly the opposite of what she could want.) I would die for you my love My love (She is coming to grips with her feelings. He is making her want to die in a new way... for HIM should the situation come.) I would lie for you my love My love (You make me wanna die) (She would fool everyone in the world of light, forsake all those who she once loved and trusted her for him. Again the author hints the NEW suggestion of the reason she would wanna die.) I would steal for you my love My love (You make me wanna die) (She would steal others out of the world of light [refer back to 'take me' in the top line] who don't know what they're asking for as he did with her for him if he asked.) And I would die for you my love, my love We'll burn up in the light (She confessed her love for him and now, loving her back, he sees what this dark world has done to her and can't let her be in the suffering of the dark world anymore. He's decided that she and he will escape into the world of light, even if it is certain that they will die.) And every time I look inside your eyes (She feels content looking inside his eyes, even in the face of extreme suffering.) I'm burning in the light, look inside your eyes I'm burning in the light, look inside your eyes (They left the dark world and now she is dying with him but he tells her to look inside his eyes and she listens and feels calm as he knew she would.) You Make Me Wanna Die (His love for her and her love for him made her willing to die even in the most unconquerable of obstacles and she took the chance for him so now she is paying the price. She died.) So the gist? A relationship that transformed from hate into love where she became willing to die for him and eventually did. It's long I know but I hope it makes sense.

| In Fear and Faith – Replapse Collapse Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
In Fear and Faith has a lot of Christians in their band, and I think this message is meant for someone who is adandoning God because of guilt. Bring Back Hollow Reputations/ Coming back into a life to reestablish a reputation -- that is not exactly good -- to people who mean nothing to you. It's Giving Me What I Desire/ They do this because it's nice to earn other's satisfaction. Chorus/ The main character is basically saying to fight their guilt and the only way to do that is face their fears and go with Christ even in front of those who will scorn them or reject them because of that. I am The Messenger/It's the main character saying: I'm bringing you the Word of God. And I am The One You Trust With Your Last Breath/Christ saying: You rely on me. And You're Missing The Point./ The person who has abandoned God is missing the point of what life is meant to be lived for. They are choosing things that won't last them beyond Death. You're Missing The Point Of These Words./They are not understanding the real meaning of what God is saying and being "happy" in other ways. You've Caused The Blood That's On Your Hands./The main character saying: You caused yourself to be guilty, now face it! I Hope You See Your Own Life Flash Before Your Eyes./I hope you see all the things you've done, right and wrong and realize that the latter overwhelms the former. And Find That Point, In Your Life When You Realize, That There's Something That You've Lost./And see when you lost what should mean the most to you, God. And Something Went Terribly Wrong./And you did whatever makes you feel guilty, and therefore afraid to face God and his judgement. With Your Last Breath, Until You Relapse, Collapse./The main character saying: I hope until you change and relapse back to who you were, you collapse and realize that until you got back to that way, nothing will go YOUR way. I am The Messenger/I'm bringing you the word of God. I am The One You Trust With Your Last Breath./Christ: You rely on me for life and I give you every breath till your last. And I'm Betting You'll Find, I'm Betting You'll Find A Way To./ Christ: I have faith that you will find your way back. Why Aren't You Trying To Escape? (x3)/ But why aren't you trying to get away from the things that will only make you relapse back into that hollow reputation? You Say You Need A Great Purpose/ You say the reason you won't relapse to God is because you need a great purpose (which comes from the mortal approval of those who appreciate your hollow reputation). I Say You Need To See What's Coming./ Main Character: You need to see what means more and that when you die, if it is very soon, you aren't going to unprepared to face God for what you've done and run away from. Personally, I saw this because 1) They are all Christians and although they aren't always singing songs to God, they do. 2) I constantly want to say this to some in my family, and I feel exactly like this because I know the only reason they've turned from God. And 3) Because I was like this once in my life, and seriously? It fucking sucked ass. Constant guilt and fear. Ugh. Anyways, there you go! |
