Ashes, Ashes

correction(at least this is how it is on their life in dreaming CD): and the kids are screaming at the top of their lungs while they're pointing their fingers like they're loaded guns behind choices and backdrops the fire swarms if the bridges burn, we all fall down.

what does this song mean? I don't get it.

I have a few ideas on what this song means, but I'm not sure. I think "I hope this terrifies you Immoral suicide which burns inside you I'll never let you out" it's referring to someone, (girlfriend perhaps) and what he does or what he says it's sticks to her and makes her feel bad or guilty.

I dunno...

"The kids are screaming at the tops of their lungs While they are pointing their fingers at your loaded guns Behind the places and backdrops Firing explosives Bridges are burning, we all fall down"

that reminds me of the kids views on war...I think its like a cryout to the government(s) to let them see kids/teenagers opinions on what's going on in the world...I think the goverment like ot think they know what kids like/think/want, so its a kick up the bootay for them when they realise we're against war and all that jazz.

I think its generally about somebody thats done somthing wrong, and the narrator wants them to know that they have done wrong, that everyone else knows they've done wrong, and that they wont let the other person do it {whatever it was } again. Yet, its telling the wrong doer that we all make mistakes, and to just learn from them. ? Im not really sure.. Nonetheless, hipv is amazing.. to me, they dont sound like every other band out there..

ps. ^^ my username has absolutely NOTHING to do with this song, just coincidence..

by the way these lyrics are wrong i dont know which part are but i do know its "and the kids are screaming at the top of their lungs while they're pointing their fingers like they're loaded guns"

And the kids are screaming at the top of their lungs While they're pointing their fingers like they're loaded guns Behind cases and backdrops Fire explosives The bridges burn We all fall down

It's sounds more like:

Go, go, go believe Wish everything you need Take everything for granted Distorting every memory Knee deep and now alone ( i could be; and you're alone?) You like it when you know Just what I'll be, yeah yeah

I think it's about a girl who generally takes everything for granted, blames everyone else, and always runs from her problems. And the guy's finally had enough of all of her lies and the problems she continues to deny. So I think this is him telling her she needs to sort of clean up her act, in other words stop lieing and running from everything and blaming everyone else for her mistakes. So I think this is him kind of leaving her, so she can learn and realize she has to change.

I'm probably wrong, but that's my interpretation. :]
