Do we know how to get the message across?
We turn the lights off to find a way out
No time to get through, to grasp what was lost
Don't turn the lights off and leave me in the <i>dark</i>
Hey, I'm pleading
My soul is bleeding
I don't want to be left alone
Not when I'm right next to you
What are you thinking?
It's so misleading
Is it not for me to know
I think it's just hard for you to show
We never spoke in the words that we want
We turn the lights off to find a way out
We never chosen to keep what we've got
Don't turn the light off and leave me in the <i>dark</i>

It's so misleading

Hard for you to show
It's so hard for you to show
Why is it hard for you to show?
Hard for you to show
I thought it would be nice
To lie down and close my eyes
It never occurred to me
That I am already asleep
Don't be the one to
Don't be the one to let go
<i>Asleep</i>
Don't be the one to
Don't be the one to be alone
<i>Asleep</i>
Don't be the one to
Don't be the one to let go
Don't be the one to
Don't be the one to be alone tonight

i think it's about lovin someone but knowing u can't have them. when it says: Hey I'm pleading, my soul is bleeding I don't want to be left alone, not when I'm right next to you that's where i got how u could b right next 2 someone and love them but still not have them. and when it says: What are you thinking, it's so misleading Is it not for me to know, I think it's just hard for you to show i think the other person makes him think she loves him but isn't able to show it and be with him because she's with another person.
It seems to me that this song is about two people who are still together but it seems to be on the brink.
They can't communicate anymore but the person doesn't want it to end and wants to find a way to solve it so that they aren't left alone. The person wants the other to put in the effort as well.
Another great song by Trapt. I love the chorus.
i agree it is a great song. although i dont feel that majority rules on this one.. I do not believe that this song is about a guy and a girl.. I believe that it is about a family issue, as it would seem alot of the songs from the first album were believed to be... ie- headstrong, hollowman, echo, and when all is said and done. but then i also realize that the name of the song is not as Daxunyrr pointed out, a WW2 deal.. but that it means... "something mysterious or inexplicable such as a riddle" which...

"something mysterious or inexplicable such as a riddle" which would lead me to believe that the song has many meanings and can be takeing 100 ways more then most songs out there today. either way.. it has been a lullaby for me for 6 years now and it is, in my opinion, one of their best songs.
I think this song refers to a break up, and Both the male and female dont want to break up but they do but they both dont have the right words to say to each otherSo hard for you to show Why is it hard for you to show? and Don't be the one to be let go Don't be the one to be alone Don't be the one to be alone tonight also he is near her but feels lost with out her, or alone I don't want to be left alone, not when I'm right next to you i think, ..erm..ya im probably wrong lol yaaaa
its about a breakup that neither one wants to have, like Wilted bleeding said. like the guy did something that the girl didnt like, but she still loves him, but is really mad at him so wants to breakup no matter how hard it is cuz she still likes him... so its all hard and stuff, but he really loves her and is deeply sorry for whatever he did and doesnt want her to go away... i look at from that angle... though i think the only thing that would cause her to be that mad as to break up with him even though she really likes him stil would be him cheating on her... but it wouldnt make since cuz he loves her to... so maybe there was some mis understanding... anywyas that what i think TRAPT STILL ROCKS OUT LOUD... we gotta see more from them!
Does anyone have another version of this song? I have one with the same chorus and bridge, but different verses. Weird. It is definitely Trapt, but I cannot find the lyrics anywhere.
i really love this part:
I thought it would be nice to lie down and close my eyes It never occurred to me that I am already asleep (in your arms)
trapt is awesome! and they're really good live also
I think maybe he's saying that they lost something, and need to get it back, and he doesn't want her just to go and give up on him. He's so afraid of her just leaving him, and he doesn't want to be alone. Maybe he's trying to figure out if she really loves him or not, and is trying to ask her and make sure she doesn't leave him. " turn off the lights so we can find a way out" maybe he's talkign about them falling asleep to get away from somethign in their lives? But then it still haunts him in his dreams bbecuase he says "It never occurred to me that I am already asleep (in your arms)"
I LOVE this song, it's so sad
I did this song at school, as a part of a lyric assigment, mostly because I love it. i wasn't sure what it was about but my friend who also loves trapt said something about everytime you're at the top, theres someone pulling you back down. Something like that... BUT personally i think its about a guy and a girl, and the girl wants to end what they have, but she wont tell him why, and he doesnt want her to let him go...he also doesnt want her to be alone...or himself. thats what i reckon...
i used to have the other version as well, and i could never find the version on the album. i found it recently and it's pretty good. i liked the beat from the other version, though. ;)
