10 Years – Fix Me Lyrics 9 years ago
@[ExquisiteColor:17849]

This is very much my theme song as well. For me its not about being someone I'm not its about bad decisions that, according to people who want to judge me, have "ruined my life". Ive fought authority my whole life. Ive done everything my way, and sure Ive made plenty of mistakes and I certainly have some regrets about some of my actions...BUT, that's MY LIFE, and I have to live it. Good or bad, its my life to live. I can only be myself at this point.

10 Years – Through The Iris Lyrics 9 years ago
I believe this song is about the moment when you realize you are falling into old habits. It could be applied to any bad habit but its my belief hes specifically singing about being in love with the idea of love despite always being hurt by it.

_________________

That moment you see someone new and the seeds of infatuation sprout:

"Two circular views of
Blue with a gray shade
So captivating
More than you know"

___________________________

It usually doesn't take long for that "honeymoon period" to end. The first time they hurt you, you question EVERYthing all over again:

"False perceptions
That brought forth these questions
Of truth, love, and hope
Now that you're injuring
I carry you with me
Just please hold on"
_________________

Letting your guard down from previous heartache, and feeling that new rush of letting infatuation take over:

"Disappear and dissolve
A weakening wall
Will one day fall
It's wise to
Sever our loss
A redefine pulse
Through the iris"
______________________

often times we put ourselves on the cross, to suffer for what we think we did wrong, especially in past relationships. "If only I had..." becomes a mantra, until that pain is sufficiently suffered that we finally LET someone touch us, and let that pain fade

"Love's not all lost
But it's nailed to my cross
And crucified all that I've held on
To be awaiting
Anticipating a touch such as yours"

_____________________

Its also true that we sometimes becomes so starved for comfort that we will repeat a mistake, just to stop feeling pain for a while, or maybe, just to feel anything at all...and find ourselves right back in the pattern again.

"False affection
A spawn of neglecting
A love, lust, hoax
Please understand me
That now where you're standing
Is closer then I'd hoped"
