This Fortress Of Tears Lyrics
No one can hurt you now
In this haven safe and sound
No one can save you now
From this grace you are drowning
in
Just hold your breath on your way down
This fortress of tears
I've built from my fears for you
This fortress won't
fall
I've built it strong for you
No one can free you now
From the chains around your heart
Don't be afraid now
Just
dive in this emptiness
And hold your breath on your way down
In this haven safe and sound
No one can save you now
From this grace you are drowning
in
Just hold your breath on your way down
This fortress of tears
I've built from my fears for you
This fortress won't
fall
I've built it strong for you
No one can free you now
From the chains around your heart
Don't be afraid now
Just
dive in this emptiness
And hold your breath on your way down

Kudos to Linde for that guitar riff, simple yet ever so great, and Ville's contrasts of positive negatives never cease to amaze me.
Heard this song live for the first time last night....incredible....
Awesome HIM song, i could listen to it all day. Ville, mige, linde, gas and burton u guys rock! keep it up and i totally agree with quigon chow ville never ceases to amaze me.
only three comments....woah...by far one of my favorite HIM songs. its about this guy that loves a girl but, for some reason or another, (most likely the chick doesn't like him) they arent together. he is upset about it and cries a "fortress of tears." he knows that even all his tears and her own barriers wont protect her from feeling the same way as he does at one point on another and says she should accept the emptiness. great song

wow...so few comments? this is a wickid song. it has a meaning. of protection and trust and weakness. my boyfriend sent this song to me letting me know that he's cried a wall of protection for me. so i will go untouched and unharmed. he's become the only thing i have left. this song is one of my fave's.
this song chills me but still it's one of my favorites...i usually don't try to find any meanings behind the songs but to read the artist's comment about it. in HIM's case it's not so reliable 'cause they are incurable liers sometimes, eg. i've heard many explanations about where does the name "HIM" come from, and they (HIM) admit that it was pretty stupid to put it as a band name... awhhh...so much things to say...anyway, HIM is good, maybe the best finnish band ever!
To me this song is saying that Someone loves a girl so much that he built her a fortress and he sits in that fortress waiting for her hoping she will come and crying about her waiting to see if she will come and see if she loves him the same way. The images i have in my mind from this song are so good and its hard to explain them this song is one of the greatest songs ever this song is just one of the reasons HIM is my favorite band.
alright now folks this song is about how much a guy loves a girl...he is with her at the beginning...hes protecting her...then he talks about how he's scared for her...so much so that he cries....but he shows how much he cares for her by all of his worrying...so he "builds" her a fortress or protection of his love for her....to prtect her from when she has to leave...
linde didnt write the guitar riff... ville composes all the songs except 2 of them so far. unless theyre covers.. so kudos to ville for the amazing guitar riff. and this song is awesome i saw it live...
