Smashed Into Pieces Lyrics
i'll slit my throat
with the knife i pulled out of my spine
maybe when you find out that i'm dead
you'll realize what you did to me
will you be there for me?
if i can make myself believe,
i'll give you back what you took away
douse myself in gasoline
so don't
save me when you come into the fire
i'd rather die
than have to see your smile
will you be there for me?
if i can make myself believe,
i'll give you back what you took away
you made me swear
realize all these things that you took from me
into dust (you made me swear)
suffocate my mind (you made me swear)
tear at me from inside (you made me swear)
how can i ever stop you from
crushing my soul?
it was, it was yours to begin with
will you be there for me?
if i can make myself believe,
i'll give you back what you took away

They need to record this song again. Shane's screams are so much better than they used to be. This song would kick so much ass if it got recorded again.
@gunnarizbeast HELL YEA THEY DID IT!

wtf early november...trust me silverstein isnt talking about religious matters in there songs. it wouldnt make any sense. "smash apart what you created how can i ever stop you from crushing my soul? " yea..that be a perfect thing to say when you pray to god. your ass would probably get struck by lightning

i gave this song to my ex after she told me she had a miscarriage and ran off to her ex just to find out about 8 months later that she was having the kid and saying she didn't know the father, so she could but it up for adoption and then had her friend call and tell me so i would know but not be able to stop her or get the kid...

I think this song is neither about religious stuff nor about a relationship break-up. To me it's clearly about a kid (could also be an adult) that is mistreated by their parents (father or mother) and sees no other way than to kill themself.
The lines
smash apart what you created how can i ever stop you from crushing my soul? it was, it was yours to begin with
refer to a violent person who shares the same blood (father or mother), because the parents "created" the kid and now they're destroying it with their violence, not only from the outside, but also from the inside (crushing my soul).

dang, man. cheer up a bit.

only one post? admittedly its harder to comment on than coheed, but just look at the robot! this song's all for self-destruction due to heartbreak. this song swings a few ways too, one minute it's all like 'if i can make myself believe, i'll give you back what you took away' and hopeful before raging into 'no, i wont let it go douse myself in gasoline so don't save me when you come into the fire i'd rather die than have to see your smile'. classic.

Yea this song has so much energy and has a powerful sound. This is one of the top Silverstein songs i like, they have an awesome vibe and are just amazing.

reading the lyrics you can tell what its about (betrayal, heartbreak, death resulting etc) but i love the choice of words and all that. it makes it that much more powerful and strong. like instead of saying i'm going to kill myself cuz you stabbed me in the back, they say i'll slit my throat with the knife i pulled out of my spine brilliant. and earlynov...this song is obviously NOT about religion...where the hell did you get that from??

i love it.....

i agree with pumpkinqueen i think the lyrics and the song itself are really beautiful... i really love it
I also think it's about a relationship instead of something religious, I agree with the arguments of the others.
